The World of Dreams

An open access monograph that treats dreaming as a cognitive process with a specific brain basis, drawing on decades of laboratory and content analysis studies. Answers where, how, when, what and why we dream, with data instead of symbolism.

G. William Domhoff

An early scientific treatise on the physiology and psychology of sleep, first read as a series of papers before a psychological society and later reworked into this monograph. Argues from observation and case reports toward a theory of what stays awake while we sleep.

Edward W. Cox

A study of sleep as a mental habit rather than a purely physical need, aimed at readers who sleep badly. Combines practical advice on rest and relaxation with reflections on what the sleeping mind is doing.
