This edited volume is the first systematic philosophical investigation of the complex and multifarious relationships between dreaming and memory. Featuring fifteen contributions by leading researchers, it explores a range of issues that arise when dreaming and memory are considered together. What does one remember when one remembers what one dreamt, and what is it for a memory of a dream to be accurate? What are the phenomenological, cognitive, and epistemic similarities and dissimilarities between dreaming and remembering? How does the self figure in dreams and memories? The book will serve as an indispensable resource both for philosophers interested in dreaming or memory and for their philosophically-minded colleagues in empirical disciplines and will provide an invaluable starting point for advanced students in need of a snapshot of the state of the art in philosophical research on dreaming and memory.

Industry Reviews

“Dreaming and Memory: Philosophical Issues is a valuable contribution to the philosophy of mind and cognitive science. Examining dreaming and memory together, the editors succeed in uncovering novel insights into both phenomena, even if certain theoretical and methodological challenges remain unresolved. The book will undoubtedly catalyse more research, specifically from those interested in intersections between dreams and memory.” (Ayush Srivastava, Mind & Matter, Vol. 23 (1), 2025)

“This edited collection is sure to be a major contribution to the philosophy of memory and dreams. The breadth of topics covered in the book, as well as the depth of the accounts proposed in each chapter, will be of significant impact for both philosophers and cognitive scientists working on these topics. … In general, I am confident to recommend this book to anyone interested in memory, dreaming, and the fascinating issues surrounding them.” (Matheus Diesel Werberich, Memory Studies, May 5, 2026)

“Dreaming and Memory: Philosophical Issues offers a rich and layered account of the connections between two phenomena, often studied in isolation in niche fields. ...  For philosophers of mind and memory, the volume expands the conceptual and methodological toolbox of investigation available. For phenomenologists in particular, this volume is an opportunity to rethink the shifting borders between imagination, memory, and dreaming; and to contribute to the intriguing, ongoing debate in the philosophy of memory.” (Francesca Righetti, Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences, October 13, 2025) 

“Dreaming and Memory is full of high-quality, cutting-edge, and empirically informed philosophy by leading experts. ... this volume will undoubtedly come to be regarded as having made a seminal and lasting contribution.” (Robert Cowan, International Journal of Dream Research, March 4, 2025)
