Be among the first visitors to take a fascinating journey through the world of bedtime rituals and routines and into the nighttime experience of sleep and dreams. Visitors enter into a whimsical bedroom setting where they are introduced to sleeping places from many parts of the world. Lie down on an ancient Egyptian bed, try out a headrest from Japan or Somalia or carry dolls using a Mexican rebozo. Peek into unusual sleeping places, shine giant flashlights under the bed to scare away the monsters and explore bedtime rituals from around the world.
Visitors continue their journey into the world of sleep and dreams by exploring the “active” state of sleep in an animated video that shows eye movement, body movement and brain activity during sleep. Next, compare some of your dreams to those of both children and adults and see what they mean. Explore different approaches to dream interpretation by people around the world. Learn about dream books from China, feed a bad dream to Baku—the Japanese dream eater and see how a family in Malaysia shares their dreams over breakfast. All Ages. Free with museum admission.
