Mindfulness and Dreams: A New Approach and Interpretational Benefits

In this course, Dr. Bruno Cayoun (MiCBT Institute) reviews current dream theories, advancing the co-emergence model of reinforcement and its relevance to dream experiences. Dr. Cayoun recruits recent findings on brain function to show that we make sense of sensory perceptions according to how personally important we evaluate the information/stimuli to be. Outlining how our systems work in both equilibrium and disequilibrium, Cayoun highlights the role of the default mode network in processing. He also examines how co-emergence interpretation of dreams can work in clinical practice.
