The Science of Sleep






Melanie, has attempted to light a fire under my non-rapidly blogging behind. So Melanie Smith, I dedicate this blog to you. I recently watched an amazing movie very pertinent to this class. A movie that everyone should see entitled, "The Science of Sleep." It is directed by Michael Gondry who directed "Eternal Sunshine on the Spotless Mind." One of my all time favorite movies. The main character Stephane's "fanciful dream life begins bleeding into his real life". Michael Gondry explores not outer, but rather inner, space. He also explores the interaction between the worlds we inhabit: nature, society, and the mind. This very much relates to our discussions in Sexson's classes. How do our anxieties, hopes, fears, and yearnings affect our dreams and our reality? What do the dreams mean for our waking life? Where do the dreams end and the reality begin?
