The Dreams of a ChildA Case Study in Early Forms of Dreaming\nAuthor(s): Claudio Colace\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781032027241, 978-1032027241\nSynopsis\nThis fascinating and highly original book presents a longitudinal systematic study of the earliest form of human dreaming in a child, from ages 4 through 10.\n\nClaudio Colace draws upon his extensive research on childrens dreams, his expertise in brain science and an intimate knowledge of a single subject, his son Marco, to demonstrate the validity of an ontogenetic approach to the understanding of dream processes. The availability of first-hand information about the daytime experiences of the authors son in relation to dream contents, as well as the longitudinal approach of the study, prove to be useful for a qualitative in-depth analysis of the nature and function of infantile dreams and of the changes that occur in the dreaming process as the child grow.
