Andrew Johnstone, host of Podcast Squared (2019: website no longer live), dreamed up a bundle of questions from quirky to scientific, when he interviewed me for episode 102, Only in Dreams. Andrew’s show presents podcast reviews and interviews with podcast hosts, so he was interested to know why I decided to start a podcast, The Dream Show, three years ago.

What kind of impact did the movie Inception have on the dream analysis industry?
How does the dream alchemy process work?

Are podcasts an effective tool to be used as a supplement to other therapies?
