EP42: The Online & Academic Presence of Dreams
07/18/23 • 38 min
This week's podcast guest is William Rekshan, who I met at the IASD (International Association for the Study of Dreams) conference! William and I talk about how dreams are represented online, and what people tend to search for when reading about dreams on the internet. He tells me about the data he collected across many social media platforms. We also talk a bit about how dreams are viewed in the academic and scientific world.
