In this January 2023 episode of the Ologies podcast, host Alie Ward talks to oneirologist Dr. G. William Domhoff about the scientific study of the dream world.

Dreams have been a source of inspiration for centuries. In the dream world, we experience things like flying, our teeth falling out, or speaking to deceased loved ones.

We often wonder about the meaning of our dreams: Are they prophecies, symbols, or suppressed desires? What does science say?

Named after the Greek word for dreaming, oneirology is the scientific study of dreaming.

Dr. G. William Domhoff, professor emeritus at the University of California Santa Cruz, is one of the world's leading experts on dream research.

In this January 2023 episode of Ologies, Dr. Domhoff explains what the most recent studies can tell us about what goes on in the dream world.
