‘What Are Dreams?’ on Nova (PBS) this week
Written on November 24, 2009
This week’s NOVA asks ‘What Are Dreams?’ The full program will be available online starting Nov 25 through the above website.
Also check out the recommended “Links & Books,” which has links to websites and articles, plus these book titles (which they didn’t link, so I’m providing the Amazon links):
Nightmares: The Science and Solution of Those Frightening Visions during Sleep (Brain, Behavior, and Evolution) by Patrick McNamara (Praeger, 2008)
Take a Nap! Change Your Life by Sara Mednick (Workman Publishing Co, 2006)
The Mind at Night: The New Science of How and Why We Dream by Andrea Rock (Basic Books, 2005)
Brain and the Inner World: An Introduction to the Neuroscience of the Subjective Experience by Mark Solm (Other Press, 2003)
I wasn’t familiar with Robert Stickgold who is the resident expert in their “Ask the Expert” section, but he has co-edited a recent volume on The Neuroscience of Sleep.
Seed Magazine has a video conversation between Stickgold and Michel Gondry, director of The Science of Sleep.
