An Introduction to Your World of Sleep and Dreams

People over the ages have paid attention to their dreams, looking to them for prophecy and messages from another realm - and, of course, this trend has continued into the present.

By and large, we have tended to view our sleeping and dreaming worlds as mysterious and relatively uncharted territory. Despite their strange quality, at the same time we have sensed that there's something going on with our dreams that's worthwhile and beneficial. How can we begin to make sense of this other world? Can we better understand our dreams and use them as tools in our lives - and, if so, tools for what? Can we likewise begin to understand the mysteries of our sleeping world? Are there unexpected things that can happen while we're sleeping?

This is what we'll explore in this class. Diane Brandon will share some of the fruits of her 40-plus years of research into this world, including what science is telling us. Please bring any questions with you to this class!

Please bring any questions you have about sleep or dreams with you. I will be presenting information, but also want to answer your questions. Please note that we will not be interpreting dreams in this class. (I'll be doing another on dream interpretation.)
