Boekbeoordeling

Meer over het boek

A leading sleep expert reveals the latest science behind the dreaming brain and the reasons we experience nightmares, offering insights into lucid dreaming and ways to control sleep for better health. Nightmares are often dismissed as something to forget, but they have become increasingly prevalent, especially during challenging times. Social media has highlighted phenomena like #CovidDreams, showcasing how our fears and anxieties manifest in our dreams. Michelle Carr emphasizes the benefits of confronting these nightmares, which can help us process difficult experiences and rehearse responses to real-life threats. However, for some, particularly those with trauma, nightmares can negatively impact mental health and emotional regulation. Fortunately, modern dream science is uncovering methods to engage with our dreaming minds, revealing the potential advantages of nightmares. Through dream engineering, we can learn to modulate our brain and body during sleep, reducing negative emotions and stress associated with nightmares while fostering a sense of agency in both dreams and waking life. Drawing on her research as the Director of the Dream Engineering Lab at the University of Montreal, Carr guides us in harnessing our sleeping minds to lead more conscious and lucid lives.
