The Jung and the Restless

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.

***Trigger warning: descriptions of sexual assault in the context of a dream***

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.

Zach wrote Victor and Olivia a note about a dream he had for them to open on their wedding anniversary. The Dream Team discusses the relevance of love languages and the irrelevance of “thank you” notes. Simulation theory comes up, as well as gangstalking, and how Zach may genuinely be losing his mind. Olivia has a dream to share about yet another animal being neglected by yet another incompetent caretaker, and WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING?

Victor’s been dreaming about dating Olivia as the expectant parents enter the final stretch of Olivia’s pregnancy. Zach lures Victor into revealing the details of his ongoing passion project, and Victor is unnecessarily embarrassed about it. The Dream Team discusses the nature of failure.

Zach has a mortifying relapse with sleepwalking, followed by a dream of being an intern to an eccentric aristocrat. Victor and Olivia attempt to shepard him through both experiences.

Zach gives Olivia validation of her Adderall conspiracy theory. Olivia crashes the car, but at least no one got hurt. It’s been all downstairs since Victor fell down the stairs. Zach gets into his backstory with Berklee College of Music, then the Dream Team gets into Victor’s dream about a pasta-obsessed Billy Joel. Sing us a song, you’re the Piano Dan.

According to the Dream Bible, it’s not good!

From not-so-fun facts chicken facts to the fracturing of a social species through social media, The Dream Team has a lot of anxiety. Zach overcomes his travel anxiety to move his girlfriend from Colorado to California. Meanwhile, Olivia confronts a deeply-rooted people-pleasing anxiety in a dream about swamp-dwelling rattlesnakes. Victor has anxiety, too, but decides to chill in a metaphorical hammock instead of going to therapy.

Lying to yourself- is it an unhealthy coping mechanism, or an effective tool for parenting your inner child? The Dream Team dives into a dream featuring an evil sentient saw blade that is out to get Zach. They figure out the meaning of this symbol via Bob’s Hoss’ Gestalt method for dream interpretation, and have a chat about anxiety.
