Description:	Dreaming evolved to resolve emotions that haven't been de-aroused during the day (the expectation fulfilment theory of dreaming). However the question remained, why do some emotions NOT get dearoused during dreaming and result in mental health problems such as phobias/trauma/molar memories or PTSD? Joe Griffin, who proposed the expectation fulfilment theory of dreaming, unravels this question at the Human Givens Institute conference 2007.

dreaming if you really think about it is really sick!

Don't worry I'm English and it's not 100% clear to me, lol.

everyone should read the 'Human Givens' book. It's really amazing and answers many big life long questions

that was briliant very thought provoking

Everytime I watch this video this part of the expectation fulfilment theory of dreaming gets clearer and clearer. If you don't follow Joe's explanation fully at first, continue watching it (praps after a few days) and your understanding of it will grow

Interesting.

dan - that's fine please go ahead - and thanks!!

Love the videos, I will be posting these on a page on my site (yourfreedomarea. com) if you don't mind.

It sounds really interesting, but for me, as a non-native English speaker, it's slightly too complicated.
