Alfred Maury Book order

Alfred Maury was a French scholar and physician whose ideas about dream interpretation and the influence of external stimuli on dreams pre-dated those of Sigmund Freud. His work explored the subconscious mind through dreamscapes, with his concepts significantly influencing later psychoanalytic thought. Maury also coined the term 'hypnagogic hallucination,' contributing to the understanding of altered states of consciousness between waking and sleeping. His research into the nature of dreams has inspired artistic endeavors and continues to resonate within psychological inquiry.
