Review:

'Claudio Colace has a special talent for re-discovering basic facts about dreaming while simultaneously placing them on a more solid empirical footing. This book does for the dreams of drug addicts what his previous book did for the dreams of children. The deep structure of normal dreaming is revealed through a careful study of pathological examples. This is a classical study in the tradition of Charcot and Freud.'- Mark Solms, Department of Psychology, University of Cape Town, South Africa'Claudio Colace's book provides an authoritative overview and synthesis of contemporary dream research and neuroscientific evidence relevant for evaluating Freudian dream theory. The book both clarifies important facets of Freudian dream theory and demonstrates that drug dreams provide an exciting theoretical and empirical platform for the study of the motivational bases of dreams. An extremely important resource for anyone interested in evaluating Freudian dream theory in the twenty-first century.'- Simon Boag, Department of Psychology, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia
