'Empson's book is well written, the best of its kind, and one that deserves to be widely bought.' - Ian Oswald, Nature
'This excellent book... provides a range of information which would be of interest to and accessible to anyone with no specific knowledge about sleep and dreams, and yet manages to include sufficient literary and scientific information so that even seasoned sleep researchers will find interesting nuggets and unusual insights.' - British Journal of Psychiatry
