  • Summary

  • In this episode we consider how much we are aware of whilst dreaming, and how much we might be able to understand from our dream content, if anything at all!


    We explore how consciousness and cognition continue whilst asleep. Guest Soraya Kezelmann tells us about the Lockdown Dreams project, which aimed to analyse dream imagery collected over the course of the COVID19 pandemic, and we discuss how much we can interpret about people’s lives and emotions from their submitted dreams.


    We agree that dreaming is an important sleep function and may help us to process emotions from our waking lives, even if we don’t remember them when we wake up.
