Dreams as Data: Insights from Your Sleeping Mind

Hearts & Sciences by Elisabeth Andrews

Episode notes

In this episode, we explore what your dreams have to offer your research career. Drawing from historical examples and touching on neuroscience, psychology, and religious traditions, we examine how our unconscious mind can assist with career breakthroughs.

I describe three distinct approaches to dream interpretation:

  • Freud's perspective on dreams as repressed responses to the past
  • Jung's view of dream characters as different aspects of oneself
  • Edgar Cayce's framework for using dreams as problem-solving tools

Key takeaway: Our highly evolved brains spend hours dreaming each night for good reason. By paying attention to these messages from your unconscious mind, you can access deeper wisdom about your work and life direction.
