Dream: Teaching with aliens?
Last night I recalled a couple strange dreams. I was teaching a group of students, and we were creating some kind of online data base. …but then I had to stop working with one of the kids who was from Texas. He needed to leave, so the *aliens* would not take him… Odd. Since aliens often represent the existence of a wider reality, I wonder if one of the meanings could be that I sometimes can overload my students with new ways of thinking about the world. I’m sure I’m much more open-minded than just about anyone else my students are exposed to. Even if I don’t teach any philosophy in the content of my classes, a lot of it is implicit in the perspective I bring to most subjects…

FYI: SciAm has an article online about sleeping and dreams. Here it is: http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa013&articleID=239C577A-E7F2-99DF-38DA961471472CDD&pageNumber=2&catID=9

Good article. That the biological function of sleep and dreams is so poorly understood could be one indication of the need for a paradigm shift…
