Download or read book The Dream and the Nightmare written by Myron Magnet and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Myron Magnet's The Dream and the Nightmare argues that the radical transformation of American culture that took place in the 1960s brought today's underclass - overwhelmingly urban, dismayingly minority - into existence. Lifestyle experimentation among the white middle class produced often catastrophic changes in attitudes toward marriage and parenting, the work ethic and dependency in those at the bottom of the social ladder, and closed down their exits to the middle class. Texas Governor George W. Bush's presidential campaign has highlighted the continuing importance of The Dream and the Nightmare. Bush read the book before his first campaign for governor in 1994, and, when he finally met Magnet in 1998, he acknowledged his debt to this work. Karl Rove, Bush's principal political adviser, cites it as a road map to the governor's philosophy of ''compassionate conservatism.''

Book excerpt: When Your Dream Becomes a Nightmare (WDBN) is a novel about the life of Chloe Everheart, a young beautiful attorney who believes that after God, there is nothing more important than family. Her dream is to become a successful attorney, but a series of family crises jeopardize the success she's worked so hard for. First, her parents announce they're getting divorced after thirty one years of marriage, and then her teenage brother is arrested. She devises a plot to get him out of jail, but it blows up in her face and threatens her life. Her faith is tested as she faces a temptation that ruins the one thing she covets most-her reputation. She finds herself at a crossroad and the decision she makes changes her life in a way she could have never imagined. "Where do you go when you're broken, lost, and confused-when your back is against the wall-when your dream becomes a nightmare?" Born and raised in Detroit, Nakesha Woods began writing short stories at the age of twelve. Her love for words inspired her to write poetry, which she performed at coffee houses. As a young adult, she began writing and directing Christian stage plays. After years of managing a nonprofit geared towards empowering women, she was led to write her first novel. When Your Dream Becomes a Nightmare was birthed out of her desire to provide clean Christian fiction that uplifts and encourages women of all ages. Nakesha is married to the love of her life, Michael, and they share a creatively talented son.

This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A truly comprehensive, scientifically rigorous and utterly fascinating account of when, how, and why we dream. Put simply, When Brains Dream is the essential guide to dreaming." —Matthew Walker, author of Why We Sleep Questions on the origins and meaning of dreams are as old as humankind, and as confounding and exciting today as when nineteenth-century scientists first attempted to unravel them. Why do we dream? Do dreams hold psychological meaning or are they merely the reflection of random brain activity? What purpose do dreams serve? When Brains Dream addresses these core questions about dreams while illuminating the most up-to-date science in the field. Written by two world-renowned sleep and dream researchers, it debunks common myths that we only dream in REM sleep, for example—while acknowledging the mysteries that persist around both the science and experience of dreaming. Antonio Zadra and Robert Stickgold bring together state-of-the-art neuroscientific ideas and findings to propose a new and innovative model of dream function called NEXTUP—Network Exploration to Understand Possibilities. By detailing this model’s workings, they help readers understand key features of several types of dreams, from prophetic dreams to nightmares and lucid dreams. When Brains Dream reveals recent discoveries about the sleeping brain and the many ways in which dreams are psychologically, and neurologically, meaningful experiences; explores a host of dream-related disorders; and explains how dreams can facilitate creativity and be a source of personal insight. Making an eloquent and engaging case for why the human brain needs to dream, When Brains Dream offers compelling answers to age-old questions about the mysteries of sleep.
