Quote from Dreams – A Russian psychiatrist who spent over forty years pursuing the question of dreams in relationship to the body, was Vasily Kasatkin, who worked at the Leningrad Neurosurgical Institute. Through his study of more than 10,000 dreams collected from 1200 people, Kasatkin developed a view of dreams that rejected the psychoanalytical view developed by Freud. He saw dreams as reflecting the person’s internal physiological processes, and their sensory and social experiences and situation. His book Theory of Dreams, was published in 1967, and summarised his findings.
