| Key points | Argues that dreams fascinate people partly because of their bizarreness and partly because of the enduring belief that dreams hold meaning or reveal something about the psyche. Contends that this belief, though it might appear to be an anachronism tied to psychoanalysis, remains widespread, as evidenced by the popularity of films such as Inception. |
Abstract
From Joseph in the book of Genesis to the 2010 blockbuster Inception, dreams have been a source of fascination. The attraction seems to derive, in part, from their bizarreness. Indeed, it is rare to hear someone muse that “I had the craziest wakefulness last night.” But we are also compelled by the allure that dreams are imbued with meaning or that they reveal something about our psyche. Although this notion would seem to be an anachronism that went the way of the psychoanalytic dinosaurs, the belief is very much alive as evidenced by the popularity of films such as Inception.
