October 5, 1999: Dreams - Katia Romanoff & Lauri Loewenberg
Published 1 year, 8 months ago
Description
Art Bell welcomes dream interpretation experts Dr. Katia Romanoff and certified dream analyst Lauri Loewenberg for an exploration of the hidden meanings behind our nightly visions. Art shares his frustration with an intense period of vivid dreaming, describing a recurring sense of being chased by the mafia and a disturbing dream where a doctor repaired his hearing by twisting scissors into his ear. The interpreters suggest these dreams point to issues he is avoiding in waking life.
The discussion covers the science of dreaming, including the fact that every person dreams approximately two hours per night regardless of whether they remember. The guests explain precognitive dreams and the strict criteria required to validate them, prompting Art to share his own dramatic precognitive experience in Santa Barbara where an overwhelming sensation correctly warned him someone was about to hit his parked car.
Callers share their own dreams for interpretation, including a recurring vision of a powerful tiger that kills others but only bats gently at the dreamer. The interpreters identify the tiger as a personal symbol of suppressed power and advise the caller, an artist, to paint it. The conversation also touches on out-of-body experiences, shared dreaming, and the striking difference in how frequently men and women think about sex.
