So Dreamy

In episode 59 of SO DREAMY, Rachel & Hannah share another round of "dream tweet stories", which are stories they created by stringing together unrelated #dream tweets from various different dreamers on Twitter.

They also kick off their August 2019 #dailydreamdrawings challenge and invite YOU to join in! (This episode ended up airing a few days after the challenge officially began on Aug 1, because Rachel was ill and unable to release the episode as scheduled. However, please feel free to join in on the challenge any time!)

In episode 58 of SO DREAMY, Rachel & Hannah have the immense pleasure of talking to Fran Heath, a writer and artist from the Isle of Wight in the UK. They gush over her newest book (Unconscious Adventures: A Year of Daily Dream Drawings) and talk about the possible meanings of dreams, recurring dreams, methods for increasing dream recall, and more. Fran can be found on Twitter and Instagram @FranHeathWriter and on Facebook. Fran's website, where all her books and artwork can be found, is https://franheath.com/.

Some of Fran's works which we discussed:

• Unconscious Adventures: A Year of Daily Dream Drawings
• Dire-Ramas (also available on Etsy here!)
• Pencil Lead
• • Fran's debut novel, Pencil Lead, is a contemporary, coming-of-age story about expectations that don't match real life.
• How We Choose to Play
• • How We Choose to Play is a rhyming picture book about a brother and sister who seem to have nothing in common until their drawings magically show them otherwise. The story encourages readers of all ages to see beyond the gender stereotyping of toys and choose how to play for themselves.
• Five Things I Can See (second novel, coming soon!)

In episode 57 of SO DREAMY, Rachel & Hannah cover a few great dream submissions: Matt's recurring bus ride dream, Cara's old-timey Nazi spy dream, and Erin's uncomfortable exposed toilet dream. They also touch on past breakups and mistakes, finding meaning in one's dreams, and consider yet another probably horrible business idea inspired by a dream: office toilet chairs.

They also share info about our next two episodes: In Ep 58 Fran Heath (@FranHeathWriter) will join us as a guest to talk about dreams and her recent book; and in Ep 59 we'll do round 3 of "Dream Tweet Stories" (please contribute your own dream tweet story before Saturday July 13, 2019, 9AM Central! Directions/details included at the end of this episode).

In episode 56 of SO DREAMY, Rachel & Hannah have a little fun coming up with movie titles for their top 5 recurring dreams (inspired by a tweet from @Dantendo64), and then jump into 2 of their own dreams from way back in the dream vault: Hannah's dream about a woman who turns into a spider, and Rachel's dream about being a zombie virus carrier.

In episode 53 of SO DREAMY, Rachel & Hannah discuss the dream archetype "The Fool" which leads them into a discussion about dream symbols, the pitfalls of perfectionism and extrinsic motivation, lucid dreaming, and more. Then they jump into a very scary and thought-provoking dream submission from Jonny (*POSSIBLE TRIGGER WARNING*: This submission involves premonitions of loved ones dying in car accidents.).

In episode 52 of SO DREAMY, Rachel & Hannah nerd out over fitness wearables with sleep tracking, discuss the Jungian dream archetype "The Hero / Hero's Journey", and listen to two dreams: Erin's dream about standing desks made from surfboards and Hannah's dream of being a new vampire (kind of) and wondering if she'll still need showers and toilets. They also ponder important questions such as: What does it really mean to be an adult? What might babies know or perceive that we forget or ignore with age? Why do some people have night sweats?

Also, in case you were wondering… here is the video Hannah mentioned in relation to the 2018 movie "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-wUKu_V2Lk

In episode 51 of SO DREAMY, Rachel & Hannah discuss the "Wise Old Man" Jungian dream archetype as well as the importance of context for interpreting any dream or dream symbol. Then they dig into two excellent dream submissions: An email about an anxiety-filled journey from Vanessa @notanotherxfpod, and a voicemail about a snowy crime scene and a suspicious newscaster from @oceanicmaster. They also ask the audience for dreams of talking on the phone, texting or other forms of non-face-to-face communication.
