Lucid Dreaming on The Dream World Podcast

The Dream Team is back together! And the verdict is in… parenthood: not that hard! Victor and Olivia return from their hiatus with their brand new baby Violet who, other than requiring the occasional top-off, is super chill. Olivia has a throw-back dream about murder hornets. Zach has been seeing his new surroundings as a seafood restaurant in his dreams. Victor hasn’t been dreaming, but he has been baking scones. The DT brainstorms unique approaches to marketing.

In part two of their conversation, Victor, Zach, and Steve Ernenwein of The Dreams That Shape Us discuss how much of the unconscious mind is actually the dreamer themselves, killing the people-pleaser inside you, and the significance of violent dreams.

After trading life updates, The Dream Team digs into a listener's dream submission! H, host of the It’s Just a Dream podcast had a creepy dream involving bare-footed running, a grey-skinned monster, and an eerily slowed-down song. The DT attempts to unpack the themes of this nightmare and tie them to the stressors in H’s life.

Victor’s key to success is total reluctance to do anything. Zach is staying at an Airbnb n’ Beyond. Olivia is practicing bathroom-door-related “exposure” therapy. The Dream Team breaks down a vivid Olivia dream about a ritualistic stage play, a semi-nudist beach, and a giant(ish) snail. Warning: beyond this point, you can never go back to pick up Indian food ever again.

UPDATE: The Jung and the Restless will be moving to a schedule of releasing new episodes every other Tuesday. For a while, at least. In this loosey-goosey ‘sode, the Dream Team discusses the historical impact of dreams, misattributed quotes, and an existential “would-you-rather.” Zach has updates on his life, as well as theories on why he hasn’t dreamed about masturbating in a while. Victor and Olivia concoct a pretty compelling theory on ghosts.

The Dream Team chats with Amina from The Dream World Podcast about Lucid Dreaming. Victor, Olivia, and Zach take a crack at interpreting Amina's dream, and learn some tips and tricks for learning how to start their own lucid dreaming practices.
