What are dreams - ephemeral processing methods?, Dec 11 2010
By B Leuri - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Nova What Are Dreams? (DVD)
This was a delightful video, but only if the subject holds an interest for you - if it does, it's really a rather good buy.
The DVD took us through a tour of dream states, but not only those "proven" but a little of dream history and background, how different people see and process dreams in different ways.
There's not much in here that could be described as an esoteric claim, most is based on what was (at the time it was made) cutting edge research.
The only thing it (the researchers) didn't do, and it cost them a rating point, was take their research to the next step and study willing subjects who have no short to long term memory conversion capacity - the results of that test would have been revealing indeed.
Well done, well written, researched and directed DVD which I found worth the money.

Kind of a sleeper, May 21 2010

This video I got to show to a class of high school kids. I thought they would really enjoy learning about dreams and where they come from, what they mean and what to do about nightmares. This tape was ok but didn't make it as interesting as it could have been.

This great video is not only educational for public viewing but also useful for health care professionals interested in the exciting aspects of Sleep Health, Dreams, and Memory retention. May have implications for those who suffer from PTSD nightmares. I use this with my Sleep Support Group.
