The Interpretation of Dreams is the book that Sigmund Freud considered his most important and that forever changed the way we think about our dreams. Here, Freud explained his discoveries about why we dream, what we dream, and what our dreams mean.

Would God talk back and tell me what to do? I'd heard stories and read in the Bible that God spoke to people in the past.

Even though daydreaming has a lousy reputation, neuroscientists are discovering that a wandering mind benefits our health.
