What if the secret to understanding the human mind was hidden in your dreams?
In On Dreams, Aristotle offers a remarkable early exploration of sleep, dreaming, and the nature of perception. Far ahead of his time, Aristotle treats dreams not as supernatural visions, but as natural phenomena that arise from our sensory experiences and inner mental life.
This short yet powerful work examines how the mind continues to function in altered states of consciousness and what that tells us about reality itself.
This modern edition brings Aristotle's insights into a clear, contemporary form while preserving the richness of the original ideas. It's ideal for readers interested in ancient psychology, consciousness studies, or simply the deeper questions surrounding the dream world.
