He became an instructor there and at Bellevue Medical College in New York, and later at Harvard Medical School. In this book, Goldthwait tackles the psychology of dreams from a physiological viewpoint, recorded from his own dream notebook kept for thirty years, adding his own sketches with often humorous results. Goldthwait states in his introduction: "Dreams...have some of the diverting value of holiday outings. There is a change of scene and often actors...if a dream is recalled and recorded, it seems to acquire a timeless character.
