Divine Dreams: From Pharaoh to Freud
Dreams occur at the intersection of spiritual, biological, psychological and sociocultural avenues to understanding. From the clear and prophetic dreams of Abraham and Jacob, to the unclear and interpreted dreams when Joseph was in Egypt, we read accounts of dream material in Torah. In Numbers 12:6, Adonai says, "If there shall be prophets among you, in a vision shall I, the Eternal, make Myself known to him; in a dream shall I speak with him." Are there more prophets to be heard? Can dreams bring us closer to God?
The 1900 publication of The Interpretation of Dreams by Sigmund Freud introduced a systematic research approach to the study of brain activity during sleep. The link between dream activity and rapid eye movement (REM), discovered in 1953, was the second step on the "royal road" to the neuroscientific study of the dreaming brain. Today, continued advances in the understanding of brain physiology provide new means of revealing what is hidden from view.
Join us on March 20th for an insightful discussion when our speaker will be John R. Graham MD. Dr. Graham is a Clinical Professor in the Department of Psychiatry of the University of New Mexico. The New Mexico Psychoanalytic Society has designated him a Master Teacher. The program begins with brunch at 10:00 a.m. in the Social Hall of Congregation Albert (3800 Louisiana NE). The cost is $6 for Brotherhood and Sisterhood members and $8 for others. Seating for the brunch, which is open to the public, is limited. Reservations should be made no later than March 17th by calling 883-1818 ext. 3203.
