Why do we dream? That’s one of the questions that Antonio Zadra and Robert Stickgold are trying to answer in their book, When Brains Dream: Exploring the Science and Mystery of Sleep.
Think of the last time you had a vivid dream. When you woke up, was the dream seared into your brain, only to quickly — and maddeningly — fade away? Sleep and dream researchers Robert Stickgold and Antonio Zadra join us Friday at noon to talk us through the mysteries of dreams – from nightmares to prophetic dreams – and explain why dreaming is necessary.
