Have you ever woken up from a dream and felt an intense emotion afterwards? Or wonder what your dream is trying to tell you? Join Trini and Monica as they explore the world of dreams, some possible explanations as to why they happen, and why research into dreams is actually incredibly hard to study.

Editor's note: we tried a new mic (we didn't like it) so the sound quality might be a little janky on this episode. Hopefully it won't interrupt listening too much! Back to our old faithful next week!
