From the very beginning, this Dvd of Mark Solms and Allan Hobson, two world-renowned thinkers on dream science, focuses on the heart of the matter: is Freud's theory on dreams obsolete? Debate format used is the same seen in many other arenas, including the presidential debates. Both candidates are clear, concise, and for the most part polite in terms of respecting the rules of the debate. At times the content matter can be overwhelming in terms of complexity and depth, but that is to be expected in regards to the audience this video is aimed for.
Unlearned individuals such as those I viewed this video with understood much more regarding dream theory afterwards, but complained somewhat on the ability to differentiate between Freud's initial theory and the one proposed by Hobson. At the end of the debate, a vote is taken which quite clearly shows what the opinion of the scientific community is.
The quality of the content was excellent, as the video was of great quality and the audio was crisp and clear. There were also some extra features on the disc, including a chapter select option which helped greatly in reviewing certain aspects of the debate.
At nearly two hours in length before the extra features, this Dvd is a great learning experience for both the inexperienced student and the learned professional.
