{"product_id":"9789354473562","title":"The Logic of Dreams","description":"\u003cp\u003eDescription\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt first glance, dreams are strange, even bizarre. In them, kings can turn into\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecabbages and horses can sing! It's easy to dismiss them-as they routinely\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eare-as meaningless hallucinations that arise when the rational intellect has\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebeen disarmed by sleep. And yet, human beings have forever puzzled over\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etheir meaning, and continue to do so, arguing that their strangeness is pointing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eto something other than what is depicted in them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven a cursory analysis of our own dreams can reveal the truth of such a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eclaim, that dreams aren't random images conjured by the erratic firing of the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esynapses in our brain. They seem to know our thoughts, often when we don't\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eknow them ourselves, and have answers to questions that vex us in our waking\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elives. Analysed carefully, they can show us our deepest desires and confront\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eus with concerns that we've been trying our best to avoid. They may even\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eknow our bodies better than we think we do. And then of course there are\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe paranormal dreams, which, as the author shows, are not beyond rational\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003einterpretation; and lucid dreams, which prove that sleep isn't even a necessary\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003econdition for dreaming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondensing four decades of experience in collecting and interpreting dreams, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMadhu Tandan's The Logic of Dreams is the perfect primer for those confounded\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eby the multiplicity of our chaotic dream world, and simultaneously a ready\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehandbook for those who wish to learn to interpret their own dreams.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Speaking Tiger Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48569972392177,"sku":"9789354473562","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9789354473562_p0.jpg?v=1786855776","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789354473562","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
