In this book, which distills a lifetime of study, Foulkes shows that dreaming as we normally understand it—active stories in which the dreamer is an actor—appears relatively late in childhood, between the ages of 7 and 9. He argues that this late development suggests an equally late development of waking reflective self-awareness.
