About Dream Studies

That’s the guiding ethos of the Dream Studies Podcast – to support ways of knowing that integrate the best of 21st century thought with the intuitive skills prized by our ancestors: dreams, visions and the imagination.

Out-of-Body Experiences with Samantha Lee Treasure S1:E2

Ryan D. Hurd sits down with medical anthropologist and author Samantha Lee Treasure to explore the fascinating and often misunderstood world of out-of-body experiences (OBEs).

The State of Dream Studies with Nicoline Douwes Isema S1:1

In the inaugural episode of the Dream Studies Podcast, host Ryan D. Hurd sits down with dream research expert Nicoline Douwes Isema for a wide-ranging conversation about where the field of dream studies stands today.. and where it's headed. Topics covered: * The "democratization of dreaming" — why your dreams belong to you, not an authority figure * How 100+ years of psychiatry and psychology inadvertently took dream ownership away from everyday people * The role of AI in dream interpretation: pattern recognition vs. meaning-making, and how to use it wisely * Wearables, sleep trackers, and cognitive freedom — empowering people through data about their own sleep * How dream sharing strengthens emotional connection (and yes, sexual intimacy) in relationships * Team dreaming and collective dream work — dreaming together as a creative problem-solving tool * Synchronicities: why keeping a dream journal puts rare experiences in perspective * A "tiny revolution" in how we talk about and relate to our dreams Guest: Nicoline Isema | thinkinginyoursleep.com [https://thinkinginyoursleep.com/] | Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/thinkinginyoursleep/] | LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/thinkinginyoursleep/]  Resources mentioned: * International Association for the Study of Dreams (IASD [https://asdreams.org/about-iasd/])  * Gail Delaney's dream interview method [https://delaneyondreams.com/delaneys-dream-interview-method/] * The Dream Portal [https://dreamstudies.org/jointhedreamportal/] membership community  About the host: Ryan D.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
