“Awhile ago I learned a bit about dreaming from a readable little book called The Chemistry of Conscious States that was written by a man named Hobson. Until then I had considered dreams enigmas. Indeed, the cause of dreams seemed fully as mysterious to me as the movement of certain stars must have seemed to medieval astrologers before Copernicus discovered that the earth and planets revolve about the sun. But of course we all love mysteries, a fact that goes a long way toward explaining why, throughout history, we have embraced the mystery of dreams, hiring untold generations of prophets and soothsayers, and more recent generations of psychoanalysts and dream interpreters, to probe the shadows and explain what our dreams really mean.”
