[quote]RIYADH — Dreaming of an advanced degree? Try a doctorate in dreams, something which could soon become a reality in a new Saudi academy offering undergraduate and graduate degrees.
Yusuf al-Harthy, a well-known Saudi dream interpreter, plans to start up an institute offering bachelors and masters degrees as well as even a PhD in explaining dreams and visions, Al-Hayat newspaper reported on Sunday.
"Dream interpretation is by nature a way of counseling a person," said Harthy, who already runs an instructional website on deciphering the meaning of dreams.
His academy will be linked to an unnamed Arab university, he said.
Islam has a long history of dream interpretation, with the seventh century-born scholar Muhammad Ibn Sirin, a native of Basra in present-day Iraq, credited with authoring a classic Islamic catalogue on dream interpretation.
Harthy, who discusses dreams on radio and television shows, disagrees with the Saudi Islamic Affair's Ministry view that dream interpretation is not a teachable science but something born of inspiration, Al-Hayat reported.[/quote]

I guess there's a reason Muslim scientific advancements get downplayed in history.

do remember who created "science"
the science behind dreams is a part of psychology, this makes some sense
That would be so easy to get. I mean, I don't want to gloat, but I'm really good at dreaming. I can do it in my sleep.
I wonder if they'd learn a topic on wet dreams.

Dream psychology.
You don't have to try and make it sound like it's something esoteric or weird.
Brb Saudi Arabia
So basically a PhD in bullshitting?
It's Saudi Arabia, what the fuck did you expect?
I got a PhD in having a cat as avatar.
Even the title reeks of bigotry. How the fuck could an entire religion offer a PhD. Everything about this "news" is just trying to show Muslims as weird, uneducated people.
I can has PhD?

Oh please, they should get a real job.
Silly thread title.
Not really as dumb as it sounds, but you'd think this would just fall under psychology.
