What can we learn from our dreams? | Dr. Dylan Selterman | TEDxUMD

Every night, we have a dream. We often don't remember having them, or simply dismiss their contents. In his talk, Dr. Selterman provides evidence that suggests our dreams might be more valuable than we currently think. He draws on his experience as an expert on dream research, providing numerous examples of what they reveal about our inner selves. Dr. Selterman provides ways we can analyze our own dreams to better understand who we are.

Dr. Selterman is a Lecturer in the Psychology Department at the University of Maryland. He runs the DREAM Lab at Maryland, with research interests including romantic attraction/dating, emotions, attachment in interpersonal relationships, patterns of dreaming, sexual behavior, and morality/ethics.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
