Follow up to “Podcast”

Date: 6/27/2019

In my last dream entry “Podcast” I recounted a dream that lacked visuals and theorized that I could curate my dreams into a podcast format. So far I have been unsuccessful in recreating this style of dream, however some interesting stuff has happened since that maybe useful in this quest. 1. On a whim the other day I watched every Ocean’s 11 movie, one right after the other. I’d never seen them before that day. That night my dream centered around a me committing a heist with several other people, much like the movies. I don’t remember much about the heist, just that I stole a bunch of sunglasses. 2. One night I listened to songs by rock singer Dorothy and then later when I went to bed she was in my dream. We were siblings. However I think it’s important to mention that she was not very prominent in the dream’s story line. What I can gather from this data is that A. Visual content (such as movies) are very influential in the dream making process. Resulting in dreams that mimic them and focus on them. B. Music CAN influence dreams. However they aren’t nearly as influential as things with visuals (such as film and tv) I might decrease the amount of visual media I take in before bed and see how that affects my dreams.
