Saudi academy to offer PhD in dreaming - Culture & Society - ArabianBusiness.com

I wonder what kind of courses they will teach.

My impression is that the classes will be religion based, probably on the Koran. The Judeo-Christianity bible also has many passages on dreams, but unfortunately, many modern-day Christians find dream interpretation to be of Satan. Silly, I know. But I think any institution that studies dreams and what they mean is a good thing, as long as they stick to the psychological impact of them and not rely on universal meanings of symbols.

The newspaper gives the impression that it will be religion (Islamic) - based. But who knows? Just because someone is Muslim doesn't mean that they don't know about or aren't interested in contemporary, secular, scientific theories or in other religions or philosophies.

well we'd all be graduating at the top of the class
