In this book, which distills a lifetime of study, Foulkes shows that dreaming as we normally understand it--active stories in which the dreamer is an actor--appears relatively late in childhood. This true dreaming begins between the ages of 7 and 9. He argues that this late development of dreaming suggests an equally late development of waking reflective self-awareness. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFoulkes offers a spirited defense of the independence of the psychological realm, and the legitimacy of studying it without either psychoanalytic over-interpretation or neurophysiological reductionism.","brand":"Harvard University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46897671995543,"sku":"9780674009714","price":4368.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780674009714.webp?v=1770363965","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/childrens-dreaming-and-the-development-of-consciousness-9780674009714","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
