Summary:

This guide shows teachers, especially those interested in the integration of the science and humanities, how to teach a course on dreams and dreaming to students in colleges and universities, graduate programs, psychotherapy institutes, seminaries, primary and secondary schools, and nonacademic settings. King, former professor of quantitative methods and psychology at Hawaii Pacific University, draws on interviews with accomplished teachers as well as his own practice. He offers a description and evaluation of educational practice in the field of dream education and an exploration of associated pedagogical and epistemological questions. He also provides practical advice on proposing the course to skeptical administrators, creating a syllabus, nurturing skills in writing and critical thinking, and facilitating the sharing of dreams in the classroom. Separate chapters are devoted to approaches from the fields of psychology, anthropology, philosophy and religious studies, and film studies. Later chapters cover concerns for specific settings, such as community and alternative education. About 65 pages of appendices describe print and nonprint resources and offer sample syllabi, assignments, and projects, guidelines for assessment, and notes on using the DreamBank (a repository of dream reports and tools for analysis of dream content).
