Do you remember your dreams? Do you think they portend the future? Are they telling you a hidden meaning about yourself? What’s a daydream? And, really, what does happen to a dream deferred? In the course of 5 weeks, we’ll explore the multiple meanings of dreams, as well as theories about their function. What ideological forces do “dreams” as aspirations harness? How did Sigmund Freud develop the idea of therapy grounded in dream interpretation? Are dreams really liminal spaces that put us in contact with spirits, other worlds, or even the outer possibilities of our imaginations? Or is it all just the random firing of synapses in your brain, completely meaningless? In particular, we’ll think about what it means to dream in a world where capitalism forces us to buy back our own capacity to sleep, let alone dream. Can dreaming be revolutionary? Together, we’ll explore philosophy, literature, and visual art–from surrealism to science fiction–that draws on dream imagery, while keeping our own dream journals.

This class will take place in person at Night School Bar in Durham. Night School requires that students refrain from attending in-person classes when sick. For more on our class policies, see our FAQ. Instructors will also follow this policy. If your instructor is sick, class may be moved to online for a session or rescheduled to the week following the final scheduled session at the instructor’s discretion.
Sliding Scale: Night School Bar pays instructors and staff a living wage. We ask that people who make above the living wage threshold for their area strongly consider choosing the full-tuition or mid-level tuition tier in order to support our own living wage program. For Durham, NC, where we are located, the living wage threshold is $49,000 for an individual. All scholarship needs are self-assessed, and we will never request or require proof of need.
Scholarships: We are currently able to offer three full scholarships per class. Our full scholarship tier is a nonrefundable offering, limited to one per student per month. Because our scholarship funding is limited, selecting multiple full scholarships in a single month will result in disenrollment from all classes. If the scholarship tier you need is sold out please email us directly, and we will add you to a waitlist and notify you if additional scholarships become available. Please see our FAQ for more information, including installment plans and refund policy.
