Saudi Academy To Offer Ph.D. In Dreaming

Posted by samzenpus on from the call-me-doctor-naked-guy-in-class dept.

If a well-known Saudi dream interpreter gets his wish, you'll soon be able to get a Ph.D. in your sleep. Yusuf al-Harthy, with the help of an unnamed Arab university, plans to start up an institute offering degrees in explaining dreams and visions. "Dream interpretation is by nature a way of counseling a person," said Harthy.

    It seems like an interesting idea anyhow. There are all those gimmicky "dream interpretation" books and whatnot available all over the place that anyone can buy. What credentials make this guy the uber-dream interpreter?

    I'd rather not have my dreams explained, thanks. I don't think I want to know the significance of a dream where people wear live sheep as hats and heroically defend against attacking squads of evil german cheese.

    I thought the Saudis still had money, I'm guessing this plan was hatched in Dubai.
