SUMMARY:Animal Dreamers and the Control Problem: Public Lecture by Dr. Erik
  Nelson
DESCRIPTION:Nelson aims to demonstrate that nonhuman animal minds face a ve
 rsion of what Cameron Buckner has called the control problem. The control 
 problem is what minds face when they must distinguish and manage different
  types of processes and/or content. For example\, a mind that is incapable
  of distinguishing perceptual experiences from imaginings would be a mind 
 that has failed to find a solution to the control problem. There is a weal
 th of empirical evidence that strongly suggests that many nonlinguistic an
 imals dream. Nelson argues that if animals dream\, then their minds must h
 ave a way of sorting dream processes/content from other sorts of mental pr
 ocesses/content. In other words\, if animals dream\, then animal minds mus
 t be capable of a form of metacognitive control.
