Dream On: Lucid Dreaming and Sleep

Welcome back for part 2 of this Q&A! Today I briefly reflect on the distress caused by being perceived by those around me before diving into more listener questions. I cut roughly 35 "um"s from this episode and there are still a few left, so everyone say thank you for my editing prowess. I'm out of practice -- I used to be out of the habit of ever saying it and now here we are! I'll get back into the groove soon I'm sure. Listen in, and Dream On!

Welcome (me) back to what is hopefully a triumphant return to podcasting! Enjoy listening this week to my overdue updates and excuses and be ready for some possible mild secondhand cringe/embarrassment. Every day I learn all over again that people perceive me, including you, listener! Tune in next week for part two! Now, excuse me while I prerecord another episode weeks ahead of time to keep the new-old weekly release schedule on track. Listen in, and Dream On!

Hello and welcome to the episode! Today's episode is a general discussion of Maladaptive Daydreaming, a commonly used internet-psychology term that doesn't have a real clinical definition as of the recording of this episode. Keep in mind as always that these episodes (and quizzes) are for entertainment only and I am a mere college student with no expertise in medicine, psychology, or even sleep science - just experience with lucid dreaming!

Hey there everyone! First, let's get into some silly personal updates (coworker drama, career development, and gaming)! Next, let's talk about the importance of Bedtime Stories for kids and why they have such a lasting impact on us even as adults!
