Joe Griffin reviews past theories and new research findings (which add further evidence for his own theory) as he tells the riveting story of how he solved the mystery of our dreams… Why does Nature select certain experiences to be the subject of our dreams? Why do they feel so meaningful to us? And what purpose do they serve? Fascinating - makes a lot of sense!SUPPORT WORKER Why take this course The renowned Irish psychologist Joe Griffin’s illuminating lecture answers these questions and many more as he takes us through the story of how he solved the mystery of why we dream – and discovered at the same time the significance of dreaming for our mental health. In the 20 years since Griffin first published his hypothesis, every new piece of dream and sleep research has substantiated it – none has contradicted it. In this talk, he examines the evidence and explains why other dream theories fail to come up with satisfactory answers. (His own 12 year research project was prompted by the realisation that the discovery of the REM state in 1953 meant Freudian and Jungian dream theories were ‘dead in the water’.) Whilst describing his own experiments and the key ‘light bulb’ moments which finally helped him solve this age-old mystery, he takes us on a fasincating exploration of the significance of various scientific findings in the field – some previously overlooked – before demonstrating how his expectation fulfilment theory of dreams succinctly pulls them together into a powerful explanation that makes absolute evolutionary and common sense. Nature, as ever, has been clever and economical. I appreciated how such a complex theory was expressed in a way that anyone could relate to and understand. Many ThanksNIKI What you will learn The auto-symbolic process Why all dreams have to be metaphorical to prevent false memories building up Metaphorical pattern-matching Why we evolved to suppress emotions Why dreaming was Nature’s way of conserving energy Why dreaming evolved to maintain the integrity of mammalian instincts The connection between unfulfilled emotional expectations and nightmares Dream predictions Why all mammals dream and more… Who is this course suitable for?
