...Recent developments in dream research won't make sense without first touching on the academic thunderbolt of 1977, when a paper by two Harvard neurophysiologists, Allan Hobson and Robert McCarley, ran in the American Journal of Psychiatry. At the time, Sigmund Freud's theory of dreams (which holds, in part, that dreams preserve sleep by distracting the brain with reflections of the unconscious) was a pillar of psychiatry. In The Brain as a Dream State Generator: An Activation-Synthesis Hypothesis of the Dream Process, the Harvard pair challenged Freudian theory on virtually every point.

...sweeps stunt. Two dudes kissing is gross-out humor. It's Sacha Baron Cohen open-mouthing Will Ferrell in Talladega Nights. It's a million Brokeback Mountain jokes.

Some of Freud's ideas have been rightly discarded, says Gil Anaf, president of Australia's National Association of Practising Psychiatrists, but Freud was right in arguing that early trauma can mess up people for life: "And with drugs you can't even touch personality difficulties and maladjustment...
...DiCaprio fired guns called “Longswords” in that film version of Romeo and Juliet? Let Professor Marjorie Garber take your understanding of past and present one step further with a course that explores the interaction of Shakespeare’s plays with “Freud and Marx, Brecht and Beckett, film, contemporary politics, and American popular culture.” And you thought Henry V had nothing to do with the war in Iraq...
