In the Bedroom

Friday, August 13, 2004

Ever wonder why your dreams are often so hard to remember? Or whether or not your craziest dreams relate to your waking life? Medical and science reporter Andrea Rock is here to explain recent breakthroughs in the science of the dreaming mind. And we’ll talk to three actors from the new film We Don’t Live Here Anymore, based on two works by Andre Dubus from the mid 1970s. Laura Dern, Peter Krause, and Mark Ruffalo join us to discuss the challenges of portraying the painful intricacies of adultery as it affects two couples in a small New England college town.
