Ep. 17: Let’s Talk Dreams: Lucid, Daydreams, & Nightmares
In honor of spooky season, this episode explores the realm that lies between fantasy and reality... welcome to the world of dreams, both lucid and daydreams and unfortunately, this includes nightmares! Dreams have always been in the forefront of many classics over the years, stemming from as early as Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (1820) all the way up until Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) film franchise. Let's dive into what makes dreams such a compelling subject and why it seems to be the perfect inspiration for all things horror… good night and sweet dreams everyone!
