Dreams: Theater of the Night

Why do dreams occur? What is their function? What do they mean? This provocative program looks at the facts and examines the theories, from Freud’s The Interpretation of Dreams to today’s neuroscience laboratory findings. The program visits a sleep research lab to explain REM sleep; another lab where researchers are using positron emission tomography (PET scanning) to explore the dreaming brain; and a therapy session where a patient describes a recurring dream. It covers a variety of theories about the physiological, chemical, and psychological reasons for, and results of dreams. (28 minutes)
