Wax will persuade even the most skeptical reader that dreams, those seemingly most private of experiences, are in fact eminently social--indeed, that to dream is to be human. A moving book about who we are, who we dream we might be., Wax will persuade even the most skeptical reader that dreams, those seemingly most private of experiences, are in fact eminently social "indeed, that to dream is to be human. A moving book about who we are, who we dream we might be., A lengthy bibliography and a helpful index add to the value of this work for graduates through faculty and for professionals., The author's academic background is impressive. Wax's critique of Freud's narrowness and his abusive errors in technique are well done., For anyone who thinks about or works with dreams, especially clinicians wanting to break out of dogmatic molds, Professor Wax's book is a delight and an inspiration. Refracted through his multiple intelligences--sociological, anthropological, and psychoanalytic--the dream becomes a way into the soul of the dreamer, his inner and social world., For anyone who thinks about or works with dreams, especially clinicians wanting to break out of dogmatic molds, Professor Wax "s book is a delight and an inspiration. Refracted through his multiple intelligences "sociological, anthropological, and psychoanalytic "the dream becomes a way into the soul of the dreamer, his inner and social world., Drawing on his broad interdisciplinary education in fields ranging from anthropology to psychoanalysis, Professor Wax sets out on a bold, independent course to counter the biases of authoritarianism and a reductionist pragmatism. In the process, he writes a bold, provocative study that explores dreaming as a symbolic activity that plays a central role in the evolution of the human being and his social relationships., For anyone who thinks about or works with dreams, especially clinicians wanting to break out of dogmatic molds, Professor Wax's book is a delight and an inspiration. Refracted through his multiple intelligences-sociological, anthropological, and psychoanalytic-the dream becomes a way into the soul of the dreamer, his inner and social world.

Synopsis
Throughout recorded time people have been fascinated by dreams and their meanings. Tribal societies valorize knowledge obtained from dreams and respect possession as a channel for revelation. In contrast, implicit in Western intellectual thought is an image of the human as a non-social atom with a unitary and rational mind, which turns dreaming into an epiphenomenom or, for Freud, a neurosis in miniature. Integrating materials from anthropology, post-Freudian psychoanalysis, social evolution, and the social psychology of Mead, Cooley, James, and Sullivan, this book offers a view of the self and the psyche that provides meaning to the views of traditional peoples on dreams, possession, and the loss of self., Integrating materials from anthropology, post-Freudian psychoanalysis, social evolution, and the social psychology of Mead, Cooley, James, and Sullivan, this book offers a view of the self and the psyche that provides meaning to the views of traditional peoples on dreams, possession, and the loss of self.
