Ep. 117 - Dreams, Part II
In this episode Bethany brings us back to the realm of dreams as a continuation of episode 74. Bethany begins by laying out the differences between the hermeneutics of suspicion and faith, and how each of these frameworks affects our understanding of, and approach to deciphering, dreams. We then discuss the cultural practice of the Tlingit tribe wherein the sharing and interpreting of dreams is a common practice amongst these indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest. How does such a relationship to dreams and their importance--as public, as common practice--impact their understanding of the self, of the social, of the continuity of consciousness in dream- and waking-life? Would Western society, where dreams have been banished from public life, improve by adopting such a practice and relation?
