This activity is intended to help you understand the significant dream theories, and then to get you thinking about your own dreaming patterns and whether there is any meaning in what you dream.

This activity has two parts:

Part 1: Dream Theories Why do we dream? That is a question that many people have asked over the years. This 15-minute session will give you some of the answers that have been proposed, and also provide you with some basic background information about dreaming.

Part 2: Content Analysis of Your Own Dreams Have you ever wondered if there is any meaning in your own dreams? In this second part, you will have the opportunity to analyze your dreams over a three-week period. Completing this part successfully requires a three-week commitment of recording all your dreams, and then additional time at the end of the three weeks for performing a content analysis of the dreams.
