Animals dream—and have complex dreams. These are proven facts. And now research is exploring why they dream and how their imaginations work.
. All these fields make an appearance in this book. For instance, my discussion of contemporary research on animal sleep follows a long tradition of philosophers questioning how scientists interpret their own findings and hinting at alternative interpretations. Meanwhile, my analysis of animal consciousness is heavily influenced by my training in phenomenology and my previous research on figures such as Edmund Husserl, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and Henri Bergson.
The third theme is imagination. Because of my training in phenomenology, I follow a philosophical school of thought that sees dreams as imaginative mental acts. For me, there is something inherently imaginal or phantasmagoric about even the simplest of dreams. Thus, in a chapter titled “A Zoology of the Imagination,” I invite readers to conceive of other animals as imaginative agents, which is to say, as creatures who can transcend the here-and-now through the power of imagination.
