  Do the fantasies of a woman differ from those of a man? What are sexual fantasies really about? Is it useful to dream about winning a million pounds? This study shows how fantasy, far from being a retreat from the world, plays a major role in shaping our lives. Fantasies fuel behaviour, reveal secret hopes and fears, and can help transform lives by allowing possibilities to be tested in the mind. Using case histories, the book explores the purpose and meaning of various fantasies and shows how important they are to emotional and psychological wellbeing.
