Abstract

Over the past decades, there has been tremendous research progress in sleep science and neuroscience and a deeper understanding of dream, while the therapy function of dreams from the intersection of art and neuroscience has been deficient. This paper summarized the related research of emotion-centered dream therapy function, and introduced the visual attempt of dream abstract art form carried out by the Future Laboratory of Tsinghua University on this basis，which is also the basis of dream art therapy in the future. In the background of dream culture and scientific research, it tried to reposition the daily practice of dream research under the integration of science and art, combined the cross-exploration of related research results of psychology, sleep science and art, and restarted the significance of dream generation art research for health therapy.
