Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Dreaming Mind
Melanie G. Rosen · 2024
74/100
👍 Worth It
Rosen's Routledge monograph is rigorous, carefully argued academic philosophy at the frontier of consciousness studies — a strong contribution to a difficult field for its specialist audience. The pluralistic account of dream experience is a genuinely useful corrective to reductive theories. General readers looking for insight into their own dreams will find this impenetrable; for academic philosophers and cognitive scientists, it is exactly what it claims to be.
