A scientifically sound and thoroughly comprehensible account of what laboratory study has revealed about dreams and dreaming. This book presents an overview of the methods and results of laboratory dream research: the collection of dreams under various conditions; different methods of dream evaluation; physiological and psychological factors of dream recall; memory sources of dreams; and dreams in different sleep stages. The main focus is to describe the phenomenology of dreams. What are the common features of dreaming with regard to images, thoughts, and emotions? Where does the dream take place and who enters the dream “theatre”? In what kinds of scenarios do dreamers find themselves? The authors’ evidence is based on dreams collected in their sleep laboratory. Results of analysis of 500 REM dreams are discussed with reference to sex differences, children’s dreams, and waking fantasies.

Giuseppe Verdi, the popular genius behind Rigoletto, Aida and La Traviata, continues to enthral audiences with his daring music and stories of love and death. His life was as dramatic and passionate as his music. As this biography shows, he was always fighting: for Italy's freedom and nationhood and for his own artistic freedom against the censors, opera impressarios and the authorities.

Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901), the popular genius behind Rigoletto, Aida and La Traviata, continues to enthrall audiences with his daring music and stories of love and death. Of his Requiem, his wife Giuseppina wrote: "Posterity will place it, with wings outspread, in domination of all the music of mourning ever conceived by the human brain." His life was as dramatic and passionate as his music. As this biography shows, he was always fighting: for Italy’s freedom and nationhood and for his own artistic freedom against the censors, opera impresarios and the authorities.

Robert Schumann (1810-1856) was the quiet one, the tormented genius. A serious illness prevented him from becoming a pianist, but he fell in love with and in 1840 married Clara, the daughter of his teacher Friedrich Wieck against her father’s wishes. In 1843, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy appointed him lecturer in composition at the conservatory in Leipzig. A year later, the couple moved to Dresden. Then, in 1850, he became the Musical Director of the city of Düsseldorf. But his demons followed him wherever he went and he tried to kill himself by jumping into the Rhine four years later. He died two years later in a sanatorium.
