What Dreams Are Made Of

Falling, flying, arriving at work with no pants on. Why do our brains treat us to all these bizarre adventures at night? Do dreams have a function or are they just by-products of our neurons? After decades of research, neuroscientists are now getting closer to an answer. What would it mean to find a neurological explanation for our dreams? Should we want science to answer this age-old mystery? Come and listen to neuroscientist Sarah Schoch and philosopher Herman Westerink, and find out what dreams are made of.
At the end of the program, campus Poet Thijs Kersten will recite a poem that he based on the weirdest dreams of the audience.
