J. Allan Hobson is professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and director of the Laboratory of Neurophysiology, Massachusetts Mental Health Center.
Reviews
"Dismissing both Freudian and Jungian dream analysis as unscientific, Hobson claims dreams are the vast maintenance task of the brain . In his physiological theory, sensory and motor signals generated by the brain during sleep are the driving forces behind the dream plot; the sleeper's past experiences, wishes and attitudes then come into play, shaping the dream material," reported PW.
