Flying in the face of hundreds of books on dream interpretation, Bert
States argues in Seeing in the Dark that dreams are simply mental images with no
symbolic meaning. Thoughtful and at times entertaining, the text is never
polemical; indeed, the author seems almost to be thinking aloud. As good a
description of dreams as any. Published by Yale University Press,
£22.50/$32.50, ISBN 0300069103.
