Sheffield Dreams with John P Wilson
Wake up, pay attention! Ever been embarrassed about daydreaming? Well no longer, research has revealed that we spend almost half our waking day lost in our thoughts and daydreaming is our natural default setting. Daydreams increase our hope, luck, creativity and future success. Had a fantasy about a workmate, you’re not alone?
Martin Luther King’s inspirational civil rights speech and Susan Boyle’s I dreamed a dream from Les Miserables illustrate the powerful impact of dreaming. This talk will explore the science of dreaming and examine Sheffield’s political, economic, sporting and educational dreams. DREAM ON!
John P Wilson is a lecturer in Psychology at the University of Sheffield. Dream, Your Life, Your Future is his first book.
