Why Do we Dream?

Synopsis
An investigation into the science behind dreams with the findings based upon anecdotal evidence and a series of cutting-edge experiments. Why we dream and what meanings should be attached to these very personal visions are enduring mysteries to which the latest scientific research suggests answers. The programme reveals that much of what was held to be true no longer stands up to scrutiny with dreams now regarded as a significant element in maintaining our mental health
