Wake Up! A Conversation About the Function and Invitation of Nightmares
In this final episode of season 6 of Blue Hour, Adina welcomes Dr. Zack Kampf back to the show to discuss nightmares. Why do they happen? What do they mean? Are they portents of doom or merely the psyche's way of processing stress?
During this conversation Zack and Adina discussed the significance of dreams, particularly those related to collective trauma and experiences, and how they can reflect the psyche's attempt to heal. They also explored the importance of building a relationship with one's unconscious mind, the interconnectedness of physical, mental, and emotional health, and the impact of collective upheaval on health and well-being.
