Episode 6: The Guardians
In this final episode of our first season, we present some of our concluding thoughts about how dreaming served as a mental resource during the Covid-19 pandemic. Topics include how dreams return us to early childhood memories, how they draw on shared cultural material, and symbolically shape new experiences. This episode is the last in a larger project investigating how the pandemic has affected the dream-life of people living in the British capital, which was developed in partnership with the Museum of London (UK) and the Department of Psychosocial Studies at Birkbeck, University of London. Hosted by Sharon Sliwinski and edited by Erin MacIndoe Sproule with music by Andrew Braun.
