Are dreams back and white or colorful? Can blinds see in dreams? Why are dreams so weird? How does the dream keep and expand spiritual activities? Do people act willfully in dreams to avoid the same insanity happen in sober? Why sleep is not only useful for health but also necessary for life? This book summarizes briefly the discoveries of basic neuroscience research, laboratory investigation on sleep and recent clinical researches on dreams and sleep. Also, it explains how new activation-synthesis dream theory expounds the universal formal characteristics of dreams from physiological perspective, helping readers gain more chances to re-think about their dream theories at the same time of appreciating absorbing discoveries of modern sleep science.
