18 Dreamwork.


In some ways, a great deal is known about dreaming, because it has


been important to people for all time and across all cultures. In the 20th


century, the biology of the brain has been explored and increasingly


understood. While this basic knowledge provides some facts underlying


dreaming, it does not tell us what dreaming is. Thus, in a sense, little is


known about dreaming, and scientists cannot yet agree on the basic


nature of dreaming. Some believe dreams are nothing more than ran-


dom firing of neurons during sleep. Others believe dreams are symbolic


stories or metaphors we tell ourselves that represent personal and social


mythology. Others believe that dreaming is one of the ways that people


reflect on and make sense out of their waking life.
