Abstract

<p>In his new book the eminent dream researcher William G. Domhoff restates the neurocognitive theory of dreams. It provides a lucid overview of decades of empirical research, combining it with recent neuroscientific research to form a theoretical whole. Providing a clear account of his theory Domhoff pivots the science of dreaming onwards, by posing a challenge for competing views. </p><p>Domhoff, W.G.
