Listen Later

Have you ever bolted awake from a dream so vivid you had to pinch yourself back to reality, or found yourself haunted by a dream so bizarre, that you're convinced your subconscious is trying to tell you something? What is it about these night-time escapades that can feel so real, so intense, and sometimes, so utterly perplexing? Are these dreams merely our brain's nightly cleanup crew at work, or do they tap into something deeper, a universal thread weaving through the collective unconscious?

In this conversation, Dr. Scott welcomes Dr. Michael Lennox, a distinguished psychologist whose insights into the nocturnal mind are as enlightening as they are fascinating. A renowned dream expert, Dr. Lennox works to unravel the enigma of dreams and their significance in our lives. He is known for his work in dream analysis, spirituality, and personal development and has also authored several books on dream interpretation and personal growth. 

Together, they will decode the functionality of dreams, venture into the realm of the collective unconscious, and reveal how our dreams can be a powerful tool for personal growth, healing, and creativity. From the eeriness of precognitive dreams to the empowerment of lucid dreaming, they’re unpacking the mysteries of what happens when we close our eyes at night.

This episode is your invitation to discover the transformative power of your dreams and how they can illuminate the darkest and most mysterious parts of your inner world. Discover the profound intersections of science, psychology, and the spirituality of dreams and investigate the intricacies of the subconscious mind.
