Mantis Weekend | Lecture 4 – Dreams and Dreaming – Recent Studies, Including Pandemic Dreams
October 2, 2021 @ 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM
Dreams and Dreaming – Recent Studies, Including Pandemic Dream
This lecture will look at the neural substrates of dreams and dreaming, including the more recently coined term “default mode network” in the brain and how this fits into a Depth Psychological approach to dreams. In addition, some studies on Threat-Simulation will be considered, and applied to the latest research on pandemic Covid-19 dreams. Taken together, the talk will hint at an answer to a larger question: What are dreams in essence, and what is the purpose of dreaming, if any?
