The material is offered here simply as evidence of a striking phenomenon in human consciousness, which, instead of being brushed aside as superstition, calls for serious study. It may have a profound bearing on the riddle of human personality.” Table of Contents: Acknowledgements. Introduction. 1. The Dream in Literature 2. Symbolism in Dreams 3.
