What’s Coming This Episode?

Last week it was sleep. This week: dreams! Whether you remember them in the morning or not, you do dream. But why do we dream? For all sorts of reasons! If you want a better understanding of yourself then perhaps you could pay more attention to your dreams.

Do you remember many of your dreams? Do you record them? Have you done much work to try and understand them? There are even people who have learnt to control their dreams. Imagine the creative potential of that.

Enjoy the show!
