In them, kings can turn into\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecabbages and horses can sing! It's easy to dismiss them-as they routinely\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eare-as meaningless hallucinations that arise when the rational intellect has\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebeen disarmed by sleep. And yet, human beings have forever puzzled over\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etheir meaning, and continue to do so, arguing that their strangeness is pointing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eto something other than what is depicted in them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven a cursory analysis of our own dreams can reveal the truth of such a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eclaim, that dreams aren't random images conjured by the erratic firing of the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esynapses in our brain. They seem to know our thoughts, often when we don't\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eknow them ourselves, and have answers to questions that vex us in our waking\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elives. Analysed carefully, they can show us our deepest desires and confront\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eus with concerns that we've been trying our best to avoid. They may even\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eknow our bodies better than we think we do. And then of course there are\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe paranormal dreams, which, as the author shows, are not beyond rational\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003einterpretation; and lucid dreams, which prove that sleep isn't even a necessary\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003econdition for dreaming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondensing four decades of experience in collecting and interpreting dreams, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMadhu Tandan's The Logic of Dreams is the perfect primer for those confounded\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eby the multiplicity of our chaotic dream world, and simultaneously a ready\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehandbook for those who wish to learn to interpret their own dreams.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Speaking Tiger Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/12\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789354473562\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.63d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Madhu Tandan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42439224819893,"sku":"9789354473562","price":29.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_3000e0ff-3926-4ac8-be07-7dba6f4caa21.jpg?v=1665460602","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-logic-of-dreams-9789354473562","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
