Here are several activities that students can use their dreams to participate some activities.
1. Creative Writing
Students may do some creative writing based upon their dreams. Analyse dreams as you would literacy works, with much discussion of literacy techniques such as metaphor.
2. Vocabulary building
Students can bring to class one noun, one adjective and one verb, each on a separate slip of paper. Place these in a fishbowl and mix them up. Generate a list of about 20 words, randomly selected. (You may ask students to write out the words in order as they are drawn.) Then ask students to write a narrative dream, incorporating the word in order. Afterwards, discuss the activity in light of "Random Brain Activation" theories of dreaming.
