WOW! 300 episodes! Congratulations, Dr. Dave!!
This is fascinating stuff.
I do wish these scientists were a bit more educated about philosophy – so that they would be a lot more cautious about causation – saying that brain states \’cause\’ our experience or tell us \’why\’ something happens.
On gestalt. Fritz didn’t give credit to anybody if he could avoid. The polar approach to psyche is something else that gestalt got from Jung.
Man, what a great one for #300! I’ve actually been in the middle of a research paper for the last month, and had to take several attempts at this episode to give it my full attention, because there’s so darn much to take in. Excellent resource this one, I’ll keep this one on reference for any psych friends.
As it happened, I was mulling over a dream I had in which a girl with a pink dress disappeared down a hole in the street like Alice in Wonderland. I hadn’t thought much about the colour, except that it was the most colorful thing in the dream. When I went to the dreamscience.org site and clicked on the colour link, I was amazed to see how the colour statements affirmed the meaning I was already getting from the dream through the questions outlined by Gayle Delaney in episode 103, which I re-listened to the other day (after having the significant dream mentioned above). Denaney’s method is very helpful.
Another great episode here, and one I will be listening to a few times I’m sure. My interest in dreams has been re-ignited because of these interviews, after many years of believing that dreams were really just by-products of the emotional brain sorting out and paring down.
The meaning of this dream seems so significant that I can’t believe it is just a created narrative to piece together the images thrown up by the limbic system.
Great stuff…
