- The importance of the dream state in ancient cultures throughout the world - many which continue to this day - such as the native Australians who in fact speak of our waking world as a dream. 

- The intensity of dreams to a kid vs to an adult - night terrors, nightmares, lucid dreaming - exercises you can do to help children who struggle with these kinds of sleep issues. 

- The concept of interacting with dream characters - especially standing up to the scary ones - and how beneficial this can be to improve sleep and dream quality.
