Dr. Hartmann was a professor of psychiatry at Tufts University School of Medicine, past president of the International Association for the Study of Dreams, and first Editor-in-Chief of Dreaming.

One of the world's foremost researchers on dreaming, sleep, and personality, he authored nine books and 350+ articles on these subjects.

His theory comprises 3 elements: Dreaming is just one form of mental functioning, occurring along a continuum from focused waking thought to reverie, daydreaming, and fantasy.  Second, dreaming is hyperconnective, linking material more fluidly  and making connections that aren't made as readily in waking thought.  Third, the connections aren't random, but rather are guided by the dreamer's emotions or emotional concerns.

Boundaries are everywhere in both our internal and external world.

 "Thickness of boundaries represents a neglected dimension of personality, one that can help us understand aspects of our lives that no other measure can explain." - EH

I deeply agree with this statement and am inspired to create this website.  I'd hate to see Hartmann's notions be overlooked since they have so much importance. - James Duncan
