Tuesday, November 27
5:30 pm Science Café: What Dreams are Made Of?

What are dreams and why do we have them? Delving deep into the thoughts and brains of a variety of dreamers, scientists are asking important questions about the purpose of this mysterious realm we escape to at night. Do dreams allow us to get a good night's sleep? Do they improve memory? Do they allow us to be more creative? Can they solve our problems or even help us survive the hazards of everyday life? This program is free. Please call (865) 577-4717, ext. 110 to register.
