G. William Domhoff: dreams as a mirror of waking life
Domhoff, a psychologist at the University of California, Santa Cruz, spent decades analysing large collections of dream reports. His work suggests that dreams are mostly continuous with waking life: they tend to feature the people, worries and interests that matter to you, rather than disguised messages that need a code to crack.
His neurocognitive theory links dreaming to the same brain networks involved in daydreaming and imagination.

How Undreamt uses it
Instead of decoding symbols, our reflection questions ask how a dream might connect to your relationships, concerns and recent days.
