Dreams

Pinch yourself! You’ll want to be wide awake for this BrainPOP UK movie, in which Tim and Moby travel to the wacky world of dreams. In this educational, animated movie you’ll learn about the history of dreams in human culture, dating all the way back to the dawn of civilisation. Find out how a book by Sigmund Freud influenced the way scientists would study dreams and their interpretation through most of the 20th century. You’ll also learn about REM (rapid eye movement), the stage of sleep most conducive to dreaming, and when it was first discovered. Finally, you’ll find out some of the competing theories, how FMRIs are used to study the brain while dreaming, about what dreams mean and how they’re made. Did you know you spend over six years of your life dreaming?
