Inception, t
he number one movie in America for two straight weeks, has people buzzing about dreams.
While we have always been curious about dreams and the meanings behind them, Inception now has people wondering about multi-layered dreams and other concepts from the movie.
Russell Rosenberg, Ph.D., D.ABSM, founder and director of the Atlanta School of Sleep Medicine and Technology, sat down with NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams at 6:30pm, EDT on Monday July 26, 2010 to shed some light on what happens when we shut our eyes.
Wondering about the multi-layered dreams and other concepts from the movie? View the video online on the NBC Nightly News website (Inception Inspires Dream Analysis). Watch the clip as Dr. Rosenberg discusses the film and engages in a scientific debate surrounding the mystery of dreams.
For more on Dr. Rosenberg's thoughts about the box-office hit, check out our blog post (Dr. Rosenberg Weighs in with the AJC on Box-Office Thriller "Inception") and read his article in the Atlanta Journal Constitution regarding Inception and dreams (Is it real or just a dream?).
