What Your Dreams Reveal About Stress, Emotions, and Creativity with Lissa Coffey & Emma Ekum
Welcome back to Catching Zzz’s. It’s Lissa Coffey back again in the host seat, and today, I sit down with marriage and family therapist Emma Ekum again, where we dive into the fascinating world of dreams and dream interpretation.
Emma was previously a guest on past episodes where we discussed navigating sleep at every age (Part 1, Part 2), as well as how cognitive behavioral therapy can help you sleep better.
During this conversation with Emma, we explore why we dream and how dreams can offer us insight into our subconscious and help us process emotions. We unravel the mysteries behind common dream themes like flying, falling, losing teeth, test anxiety, and even those moments when you find yourself naked in public. We also cover the difference between nightmares and night terrors.
You’ll also get practical tips on remembering your dreams and using a dream journal to better understand yourself. Whether you’re a vivid dreamer, a restless sleeper, or simply curious about what’s happening in your head while you snooze, this episode is packed with helpful information.
