COURSE DESCRIPTION
This is the Psychology of Sleep and Dreaming; the only course ever where it is OK to sleep in class and (almost) all the assignments involve sleep. You will learn about how your brain behaves at night, the chemistry, physiology and biology of sleep. You'll find out how dreams have played a significant role in history and religion and the arts. You will hear about how other cultures treat their dreams and about people who guide their lives with their dreams. You will learn how to keep a dream journal and how to remember your dreams. More importantly, you will learn dozens of methods that will help you make sense of your dreams. Are they meaningless or rich in deep meaning or just a left over part of our most primitive form of consciousness? What are they telling you?
