After reading this book you want to talk about it and learn more about the topic. I don't think it has answers but it makes you ask more interesting questions. It is a very honest book and has an authentic quality that many books in this area lack.

It's me again...I've finished the book and am doubly pleased! This book provided me with much insight into the distinction between the concious and the unconcious states we live in each day. The book is also very informative if you are wondering how our own brain chemicals and outside chemicals react and have effect on each other. Being that I am a doctor in training and am contemplating the continuation of my education in neuroscience, I have found this book to be quite well worth reading...and the fact that I have just begun to learn about medicine, and am not familiar with all terminology and explaination, makes this book great for even the general public/anyone simply interested in the subject. I give it all five stars! <Sarah>

I have not quite finished the book yet(as I have only had it for a few days), however, I am intrigued! In opposition to the other review from France, it seems as though Dr. Hobson knows a great deal on the subject. Besides, the man has been studying neuropsych. for 30 years. His knowledge obviously reflects his hard work and observation. Furthermore, "organization" is spelled with a "z," not an "s."

Hobson does not understand the topic he is studying. Dream is not at all a "delirium" but a very complex organisation of consciousness.
