Podcasts by The Stuff of Dreams
Have you ever woken up from a dream totally sure it's important but without a clue what it means? Learn dream interpretation with me, Amy Lawson, depth psychologist (and pediatrician...but they didn't teach me about dreams in med school) as we examine real dreams from reddit, my guests, and my own unconscious. This is no dry internet tutorial--it’s a lively conversation that aims to convince you of the importance and wisdom of dreams.
