PSY 348/648 Sleep, Dreams and Dream Interpretation

This correspondence/e-course is designed to be a scientific introduction into the research and theories of sleep, dreaming, and dream interpretation. It begins with the physiological basis for sleep and dreams and includes an overview into the physiological structures of the brain that are thought to be responsible for sleep and dreams. The evolutionary theories of sleep and dreaming are also reviewed, including Winson's recent work on the evolution of the REM state and theta rhythm research. Also reviewed are the numerous other theories of the purposes of sleep and dream states.
