The secret history of dreams

Overview of the book The Secret History of Dreams - Robert Moss: What is the common factor between the first major oil discovery in Kuwait, Mark Twain's stories, and Harriet Tubman's success in guiding slaves to freedom via the Underground Railroad? All of them were first dreamed. Dreams play a fundamental role in human history. They are essential to our survival and development, to creative endeavors in all fields, and simply, to surpass our daily lives. Robert Moss traces the threads of dreams through archival records and known writings, publishing wonderful and truthful stories about historical figures influenced by their dreams. In eloquent prose, Moss describes the beautiful Lucinda de Leon, whose dreams were appreciated by the authorities in Madrid, then recorded during the Spanish Inquisition, as well as the remarkable dream correspondence between Wolfgang Pauli and Carl Jung. The book The Secret History of Dreams addresses the central importance of dreams and imagination as secret drivers in the history of all that is human, from literature to quantum physics, from religion to psychology, from war to healing.
