Hey and welcome to Paranormal Underground Radio. This is Karen Frazier. I'm hosting today. I'm really excited to talk to our guest, Dr. Michael Lennox. He's a practicing psychologist and dream interpreter. For more than twenty years, Michael has interpreted thousands of dreams. His fascination with his nighttime phenomenon began when he was a teenager after reading his mother's copy of Freud's interpretation of dreams. Having vivid and memorable dream experiences from the time he was a small boy, the notion they could be analyzed and understood on a deeper level was an almost overpowering concept. Initially, social situations in which people routinely expressed having had bizarre dreams offered Michael the opportunity to try out his newfound gift.
Karen Frazier 1:12
As a young adult, he pursued any and all opportunities to learn more about these theories surrounding dream interpretation. Formal graduate study followed and he earned his doctorate in psychology in two thousand six. Michael is the author of Lou Allen's Little Book of Dreams, a pocket sized guide to dreams and interpretation for improved. Understandings of your journey through life. He is also the author of Dream Sight, a dictionary guide for interpreting any dream which is on my bookshelf and Llewellyn's complete dream dictionary. Welcome to Paranormal Underground Radio, Michael.
Dr. Michael Lennox 1:44
Great to be here. Really great.
Karen Frazier 1:46
So I have to start off Freud when you were a teenager, really?
Dr. Michael Lennox 1:50
Yeah, you
Karen Frazier 1:51
know, uh
Dr. Michael Lennox 1:52
yeah, really. Well, first of all, you know, my mother's bookshelf was always a source of fascination. You know, she had weird and strange books and and so from a time I was a very little boy, I was very locked in to exploring, you know, stuff that was on her shelf, whether it's about myths or Fabulous books that had pictures of you know naked people in it. That was also, you know, a the definite treat for my little boy mentality. Right. Um, but she was getting her MSW, her masters in social work when I started, you know, yeah, it was about fourteen, fifteen was when that began. So books began to appear. And dreams, it was just dreams was what I saw. Like I didn't know from Freud, but I certainly saw the word dreams and I
Dr. Michael Lennox 2:33
Not only was I fascinated because I had had such rich dreams and I was an imaginative kid Um but the one thing that I didn't put in the bio was the impact that that fiddler on the roof had.
Karen Frazier 2:45
Oh the Dream
Dr. Michael Lennox 2:45
se the Dreams Dream sequence and on the show album, which my m much my family listened to on a regular basis. She says to him and he told the album, tell me what you came and I'll tell you what it meant. So because of hearing that message so often when I was younger that by the time I got to Freud's interpretation of dreams, it was the two things just married in my mind that that there was that thing you could say to people out in the world and that's what happened. Kids said I had the crazy dream and I remembered Golden. I said, Tell me what you dreamed. And I'll tell you what it meant. And I don't know what I said, but whatever I said always got the same reaction. People widened their eyes and they went, Wow, that's so interesting.
Dr. Michael Lennox 3:25
So I knew that I was onto something.
Karen Frazier 3:28
Yeah, the I love the fiddler on the roof thing. I haven't actually thought about that scene in such a long time, but that's exactly there's this whole big dream sequence where it's an evil spirit. That's of course he was making the whole thing up, as you recall.
Dr. Michael Lennox 3:42
Which of course, you know, speaks to the the idea that later when I was now working in the media a little bit, um and I was doing a television show on the sci fi network and they said to me, Well well what o what if someone makes something up? And it's like don't worry about it, because if they are The imagination and the unconscious work together. So that even if someone's making up a dream, what they choose to make up with is being peppered by stuff that's in their unconscious.
