When Animals Dream: The Hidden World of Animal Consciousness with Dr. David Peña-Guzmán
In this episode of the Chasing Leviathan podcast, PJ and Dr. David Peña-Guzmán discuss how research on the dreams of non-human animals is providing new insight into the nature of consciousness. They also discuss the ethical impact this body of research could have, especially as it becomes more evident that humans and other animals are not as different as previously believed.

Who thinks that they can subdue Leviathan? Strength resides in its neck; dismay goes before it. When it rises up, the mighty are terrified. Nothing on earth is its equal. It is without fear. It looks down on all who are haughty; it is king over all who are proud.
These words inspired PJ Wehry to create Chasing Leviathan. Chasing Leviathan was born out of two ideals: that truth is worth pursuing but will never be subjugated, and the discipline of listening is one of the most important habits anyone can develop.
Every episode is a dialogue, a journey into the depths of a meaningful question explored through the lens of personal experience or professional expertise.
