Do Our Dreams Reflect Our Time and Culture?
Program Description:
When news of the recession, war, and environmental threats fills the airwaves, does it affect our dreams at night? If you could look closely into Americans’ dreams, would they reveal a sense of who we are, and how we function as a society? Or, do dreams simply reflect more personal issues we encounter in our own day-to-day existence, void of any larger context? “Studying a people’s dream theory opens a window onto a whole culture, a whole way of living, of being in the world,” says Sheriff.
