Sleep Salon 4: Controlling Dreams, with Antonio Zadra and Elizaveta Solomonova

Controlling Dreams – December 8, 2021
Part of the Sleep Salons: A series of interdisciplinary conversations on the Sociability of Sleep.

Speakers:
Antonio Zadra (Psychology, Université de Montréal)
Elizaveta Solomonova (Psychiatry, McGill University)
Moderator: Claudia Picard-Deland

Is it possible to control dreams through lucid dreaming states?
Do dreams control us in the form of nightmares and other disturbances along the sleep/wake threshold?
The act of dreaming and the research on dreams raise profound questions about the modes of agency, (inter)subjectivity and experience that we inhabit through sleep. This Salon brings together dream researchers from the team at the Sociability of Sleep to discuss the philosophical and social questions raised at the margins of the dream world.

✦ ANTONIO ZADRA is Professor of Psychology at the Université de Montréal, where he is a researcher at the Center for Advanced Research in Sleep Medicine. Having published extensively on dreams and parasomnias in both scientific and popular literature, he is most recently co-author of When Brains Dream: The Science and Mystery of Sleep.

✦ ELIZAVETA SOLOMONOVA is a postdoctoral fellow in Psychiatry at McGill University and member of the Culture, Mind and Brain research group. Her interdisciplinary work considers consciousness and experience across wake-sleep states, with an interest in dreaming, empathy and intersubjectivity. Her recent work includes the impact of the COVID pandemic on sleep.

Moderator CLAUDIA PICARD-DELAND is a PhD candidate in Neuroscience at the Université de Montréal, working in the Sleep and Nightmare Lab at Montréal’s Sacré-Coeur Hospital. Her research interests include dreaming and memory consolidation; nightmares; sleep during the pandemic; and the effects of VR simulation on dreaming.
