RadioLab episode - lucid dreaming

[Aurata]

Did anyone else hear the RadioLab (podcast) episode about dreams and lucid dreaming? It was just the history of Stephen Laberge and a general introduction to the topic, but they made it interesting as always.

One of my teachers that I've talked to recently about dreaming emailed me about this podcast today. It was really well made, and it's good to here practical examples of how lucid dreaming is helping people today. In addition to the history of Stephen LaBerge and an intro to the subject of lucid dreaming, it's about a man who used lucid dreaming to overcome a nightmare that he had been having for over 20 years. Here's a link to the podcast for anyone interested, it's well worth it: Wake Up and Dream - Radiolab

You talked to a teacher about dreaming... a psychology teacher? Ah yes. It sounds like I am advertising here, but it's not just that episode that is well worth it. Thanks for putting up the link, Fr.

Nope, not psychology (though I wish my school had psychology classes), but an awesome English teacher . No problem. Yes, my teacher showed me some of their many podcast topics today, and I'm definitely gonna listen to more when I get the chance. Apparently, there's an hour episode about sleep which includes a section on dreams; that's definitely something else that would be of particular interest here.
