<p>I am very interested in the study of dreams (lucid dreams, dream recall, etc.) Do you study dreams a lot in psychology? Not at all? A little? Any specific classes where it is taught? Is it even studied in college at all?</p>
<p>I think you come across it in ‘Cognition and Memory’ and ‘Sensation and Perception’.</p>
<p>You can also research it.</p>
<p>There isn’t really a “science of dreams” persay. Dreams and dreaming are studied in such areas as neuropsychology and sleep medicine. Additionally, there is dubious “study” of dreams in clinical psychology within psychodyamic circles.</p>
<p>Is there a specific application of your interests you wish to pursue? The things you mentioned sound to me like potentially just “cool” topics, but you should consider what you might be able to do with said information. Why do you want to learn about dreams?</p>
<p>You might look into Humanities> Shamanism, or philosophy> metaphysics or religion. My guess is that mainstream psychology will really downplay any mysticism- type stuff. Although Carl Jung was all over that, and we real lots of his work in humanities.</p>
<p>I can’t really answer your quesiton, but I had to reply: </p>
<p>I’m interested in the same thing! Well, I don’t plan on studying extensively, but I’ve always been a dream fanatic. I taught myself to lucid dream a few years ago! It’s great to find someone else with the same, unique interest :P</p>
<p>Also, at least in the Humanities class I had, the instructor required us to keep dream journals… although these were not checked.</p>
<p>There’s a word for it that you might’ve come across before - Oneirology.</p>
