WHY DO WE DREAM?
This is a 15-minute long Ted Talk by Dr. Bob Stickgold, Professor and Director for the Harvard Center for Sleep and Cognition. Back when I was a resident at Harvard Medical School’s Longwood Neuropsychology program, I loved to hear talks by Bob and even got a chance or two to sit and visit with him in his office. He is one of the leading experts on sleep in the world and a wonderful person. Here, he explains what dreams really are. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-gFlSUDxPo
