Venue: Goffert Park, Nijmegen
This programme is in English.
What if you realize in the middle of a dream that you are dreaming? We all dream, every night. Often we’re not aware of our dreams, and we have already forgotten about it when we wake up. But: you can also become aware of the fact that you are dreaming during a dream—and even influence it? What do these "lucid" dreams tell us about consciousness? And what actually happens in our brain when we dream and especially when we become aware of this?
Come and listen to dream researcher Maureen Minnema and artists from fuse* about the relationship between consciousness and dreams.
This programme is English spoken.
This program is part of the audiovisual arts festival Schemerlicht.
