Episode 167 The Dream Show: Where dreams are made

Where do dreams and nightmares come from? The brain, the body, the mind, the soul, the universe, God, or the dream movie production unit at work, nightly, in the depths of our unconscious?

Episode 98 The Dream Show: Science & dream interpretation

The science of dream interpretation
“You’re an interesting contradiction, a scientist who interprets dreams,” said Ian Kath, host of the podcast chat show Your Story – How others play the game of life. “I’d love to interview you and throw you some curly questions.” Of course I agreed, and Ian released our interview this week as episode 59, Jane Teresa.
