A DVD presentation of debate between Dr J. Allan Hobson and Dr Mark Solms. The meaning of dreams has been debated since ancient times, with 20th century science dominated by Sigmund Freud's view of dreams as 'the royal road to the unconscious'. According to Freud the bizarre nature of dreams reflects repressed infantile wishes and primitive drives (the id), censored and disguised by the ego. Hobson and Solms have argued this question in many contexts including Solms' 2004 Scientific American article "Freud returns" and Hobson's accompanying response "Like a bad dream". These two giants of dream science met for the first time in formal debate at the April 2006 conference 'Toward a Science of Consciousness' in Tucson, Arizona. This vital debate is presented here on DVD (format playable worldwide).
