Series 8, Episode 2: Dream Engineering - Solving Puzzles In Your Sleep Lucid Or Not. Does Our Subconscious Know The Answers???

In this conversation, Laura meets academic and dream scientist, Dr Karen Konkoly, to discuss her research on lucid dreaming and its potential for creative problem-solving. Karen explains how her study, out of North Western University, involved a series of riddles and puzzles, and how participants interacted with their dreams to find solutions. The discussion covers how to induce lucid dreams, the role of using sound cues to help the dreamer, and North Western's collaboration with Tibetan monks to explore the power of this dreaming dimension. Karen also explores the nature of creativity in dreams and the implications for future research in understanding consciousness and insight.   Dr Konkoly is now based out of Cambridge University, UK as a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow.   Your dreams are worth inquiring about too!
