Episode 11: A Stream Within A Dream
Are dreams random static, or do they hold hidden meaning? This week, Alex and Nova dive into the science, symbolism, and cultural impact of dreaming. From brain activity during sleep, to wild interpretations, to the role of dreams in creativity — the conversation goes deep, with plenty of laughs along the way.
We’ll also explore:
Why humans look for meaning in dream symbols
Famous works of art, literature, and movies inspired by dreams
What science still can’t explain about dreaming
And whether AI could ever “dream” itself
Plus, a mini-segment on what algorithmic dreaming might look like (spoiler: there are a lot of electric sheep).
