Acknowledgments
I would like to thank Sybe Terwee for introducing me to Greenwood/
ABC-CLIO and encouraging me to take on this project. Doug Daher,
George Goethals, Don Browning, Bertram Cohler, and Peter Homans
have my deep appreciation for being my most trusted guides in exploring
the psychology of dreaming. Of the many dream researchers who have
been my teachers and friends over the past several years, five of them—
Ernest Hartmann, Johanna King, Carol Schreier Rupprecht, Alan Siegel,
and Jeremy Taylor—have given especially valuable support during the
original writing of this book. In recent years, I have been fortunate to
include more people in this group—G. William Domhoff, Tracey Kahan,
Jayne Gackenbach, Patrick McNamara, Ryan Hurd, Anthony Zadra, Deir-
dre Barrett, Philip King, Bernard Welt, and many others from the Interna-
tional Association for the Study of Dreams. The writings of Anthony
Shafton and Robert Van de Castle have provided me with consistently
excellent reference materials, and I highly recommend their works. To
Chris Altschuler I owe gratitude for regularly providing me with creative
inspiration, existential companionship, and fashion tips. To Dr. Polly
Young I give thanks for introducing me to Dientamoeba fragilis, Endolimax
nana, and Blastocystis hominis, my previously unknown intestinal cohabi-
tants. Rex Marinaro, Joanne Rochon, and Matthew Christianson gave me
their expert assistance in the final editing and design of the book, and
Debbie Carvalko, Joshua Evans, and Michelle Scott provided support and
encouragement in preparing the second edition. And to Hilary, Dylan,
Maya, and Conor, thank you for everything.
