Description

While on a research trip in Peru, Robb became hooked on lucid dreaming: the phenomenon in which a sleeping person can realize that they're dreaming and even control the dreamed experience. Digging deeper into the science of dreams at an extremely opportune moment, she discovered how they help us learn and even overcome psychic trauma. Here she shows why dreams are vital to our emotional and physical health, traces the links between dreaming and creativity, and offers advice on how we can relish the intense adventure of lucid dreaming for ourselves.
