A series of essays by experts on the enhancing subject of how our minds link together, now as in the past, through our experience of dreams, contact with the dead and dying, and listening to or creating music.

This study of dreaming, death and shared consciousness develops a context that is humanistic, comparative and evidence-based in its engagement with the work of cultural anthropology, ethnomusicology and the study of the imagination. It also reaches into current research on consciousness at the interface of neuroscience, anthropology, sociology, musicology, computer studies, psychology/parapsychology, literature and cognitive studies, in the process of drawing its content from a range of original writing from diverse disciplinary and cultural backgrounds.

Ruth Finnegan, FBA, Emeritus Professor at the Open University, has an extensive academic publishing record, and is the prize-winning author of the novel Black inked pearl and its fairytale prequel, Pearl of the Seas.
