BACK COVER #

"Consciousness" is on eof the most frequently discussed -- and misunderstood -- terms in popular use today. What do we mean when we sat that, in dreaming or under hypnosis, one alters his or her "state of consciousness"? This book presents a theory based on the latest scientific research in this important new field. In addition to dreams and hypnosis, the author covers meditation, drug states, emotional states, and other altered states of consciousness.
