"In this book, Gerard Bleandonu applies his expertise as an experienced child psychotherapist. With reference to case studies, he explains both the content of children's dreams and the functions they serve. This material includes drawings children have used to portray their dreams, which often shed valuable light on their meaning. In this investigative study, the author combines his psychoanalytic knowledge with recent findings in neurophysiology, which have improved our understanding of the processes governing children's dreams from the earliest days of life to the brink of adulthood. Finally, the author explores the cultural role of dreaming in mythology and literary creation."--BOOK JACKET.
