The Strangeness of Dreams
Sarah Dunant argues that - at a time when so much else in the world has been explained away - dreams remain one of the supreme mysteries of being human.
From clay tablets in Mesopotamia two and a half thousand years ago to the stuff of dreams today, Sarah Dunant examines the continuing mystery of the function and meaning of dreams.
'As science digs further into every nook and cranny of our brains,' writes Sarah, 'the elusive, individual nature of dreams is possibly the most magical element of human existence that remains.'
