Anyone who has suffered through a night of insomnia knows how important a good night's sleep is. But what is the purpose of dreaming. We sleep approximately 1/3 of our lives and much of that time is spent in a state of dreaming - so it must be important. After discussing the current and past theories of why we dream you watched a documentary which detailed many aspects of dreaming. Your assignment is to write a 200 word video response explaining what you learned and what you think. Be sure to include at least one relevant picture and site all sources used. This assignment is due Sunday, March 20th.
