Baseless Dream Interpretation

Daphne tells us about a dream involving laundry, a chicken, a land animal, a bird, and a mouse. We talk about all the ways that it's possible to get distracted from paying attention to what really matters, what Werner Herzog thinks about chickens, and what the piece of paper taped to the chicken's back is really trying to tell us all.

Mallory tells us about a series of dreams where she finds herself walking down the aisle again and again. We talk about how freaky facelessness is, how dreams can make the abstract feel concrete, and we appreciate the ability that dreams sometimes have to deliver us good feelings that we have never experienced before.

Laura tells us about a dream where a bear attacks her tent while she is inside eating lima beans. We talk about the loss of childhood, grief dreams, and how once again dream bears are very bad news.

(content warning: cursing, and a bear attack)

Zoe tells us about a dream that begins with sinister things stirring in her snake's cage. We talk about boundaries and the difficulties involved in saying no, and give some baseless advice that we feel pretty good about.

(content warning: cursing; and dream snakes are injured)

Simon tells us about a dream where he engages in an unusual style of tree planting, and then has his performance critiqued by a collection of significant women in his life. We say the word penis and its synonyms many times, and talk about the feeling that maybe everybody else can read minds.

(content warning: cursing, and genitalia are discussed)

James tells us about the first dream that he can remember having when he was a small child. We wonder about what keeps a creepy dream from feeling like a nightmare, speculate about where little kids' dreams might come from, and discuss our personal experiences with shag carpets.

Hannah tells us about a dream where she is expecting two separate sets of twins. We do our first from-a-distance dream interpretation recording, have foggy-quarantine-brain, and wander all over the place with this one.

Liane tells us about a dream where she mentally prepares for the worst. We have divergent opinions about banding together versus going it alone, but we are in agreement about dream bears being bad news, and about who would be the mom and who would be the daughter in Freaky Friday.

This episode was recorded before we all went into quarantine, and we've added a little updated intro because some of the themes in this dream have a high degree of overlap with the bizarre circumstances that we all now find ourselves in. Because of this, this one might be a little more anxiety-provoking to listen to than it would have been pre-pandemic.

(content warning: death and fear of dying; cursing)

Bryanna tells us about a dream where various older women keep intruding on people's privacy. We talk about demons, hauntings, and endless cycles.

James tells us about a dream where an ominous stranger watches him from afar. We try to get to the bottom of what is so scary about being passively watched; Santa gets dragged into it, briefly.
