Geoffretti shares an epic dream of multiple chapters about a valley loaded with glowing starfish, a hard working Regis Philbin (who knows how to carry his own weight), and a small group of women who've collected in a foxhole.

As Rusty and Geoffretti explore the dream images, the theme of the 'divine spark within the individual' is heavily explored, as is solidarity with those who exist at the bottom of the food chain and the effect of the 'spirit of the age' upon women.

Rusty kicks off this dream analysis "festivus" with a work-related dream that helps him articulate how to improve his performance on the job while Geoffretti follows with a dream that explores and comments on his values versus those of the 'spirit of the age'.

Includes many references to Mike's back story on "Better Call Saul" as archetypal commentary on the cost of "going along to get along" i.e. avoiding confrontation with corruption.

Host Rusty Chester Calhoun shares a dream about peeing to the side of the toilet on purpose, driving Bernie Mac's Jeep, and slaying some green-blooded Japanese Aliens after some friends come to visit who happen to be paid off by the local university with hush-hush money.

A dream analysis marathon unfolds as both Rusty and Geoffretti share different dreams that involve water.  Rusty seeks solidarity in a community of houses set upon stilts in the shadow of a stationary tsunami and Geoffretti endures a house full of leaky pipes and slow respondents.

Geoffretti shares a dream about being driven from his home, ridiculed by mass media, and finding solace in a factory albeit keeping something potentially incriminating from his kind hosts. This discussion includes the beginning of an exploration into J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit” and “Lord of the Rings” trilogy as it relates to the theme of addiction.

Geoffretti shares a dream from the previous night while Rusty struggles to analyze the images. Geoffretti attempts to lead a group through a Japanese Airport, finds himself in bad company in a pub, and is able to peer into the changing area at a ballet.

Listen as Geoffretti shares a dream about an adventure to Los Angeles during a major ‘event’ that shuts down many forms of transportation and forces him to contend with the choices of the group versus his own judgment as an individual.

Host Rusty Chester Calhoun expounds on a strange and violent dream that almost never saw the light of consciousness. The arc of the discussion first presents the dream, then deviates to discuss the D.E.I.T. method of art criticism advocated by photo critic John Szarkowski in the book Looking at Photographs in an attempt to apply the method to dreams. Co-host Geoffretti Bren LaLude presents helpful commentary as the Rusty shares how the dream’s analysis led to a constructive call-to-action within his marriage.
