Could where you're at in life right now, say being unemployed, affect the way you dream?
Well, there's a new study that shows how our sleeping minds can mirror our working lives.
And when you're out of work and your purpose in life is iffy, your dreams can change too.
I'm here with researchers from the Center for Organizational Dreaming, Dr. Emily Cook and Kyle Napierkowski.
Emily, welcome to the show.
And Kyle, welcome to you as well.
Thank you so much.
So how do we get to a place where like our life is not going so great?
Maybe we're unemployed and then it actually starts affecting the way our dreams function.
Walk me through how this can happen.
And where are you getting this data set from?
My understanding is you went to a social media website.
It's kind of wild.
It's like Freud meets Silicon Valley.
You're taking just users' reports of their dreams online?
Okay, let's start talking about the dreams.
For those who've never heard of the continuity hypothesis, myself was one of those people before I read about your research.
Can you explain it?
Like our dreams basically are subconscious and the staff meetings we go to during the day or the unemployed job searching we do during the day.
Are dreams just a continuation of that?
