Psychologists and philosophers have long grappled with the mysteries of dreaming, and now-thanks largely to recent innovations in brain imaging -neuroscientists are starting to join the conversation. In this groundbreaking book, award-winning journalist Andrea Rock traces the brief but fascinating history of this emerging field. She then takes us into modern sleep labs across the country, asking the questions that intrigue us all: Why do we remember only a fraction of our dreams? Why are dreams usually accompanied by intense emotions? Can dreams truly spark creative thought or help solve problems? Are the universal dream interpretations of Freud and Jung valid? Accessible and engaging, The Mind at Night shines a bright light on our nocturnal journeys and tells us what the sleeping mind reveals about our waking hours.

A very interesting book that explores how dreaming is possible as well as the purpose of dreams.
I loved all the neuroscience here. (Though frequently, brain scans were described and I would have loved to see photos of those included.) I was very frustrated, however, by Rock's portrayal of the evolutionary theory as fact. She did a great job at portraying other theories for what they were - possibilities - and yet evolution is referred to as a fact over and over and over, without actual facts to back it up.
The first few chapters held my attention very easily, but then the book began to get very repetitive and a little drawn out. It is interesting if you already like science, but could be tedious if you're not.
My favorite chapters were the ones exploring memory, REM sleep in peoples who are depressed, and lucid dreams. (
