The dreamworld is a theatre of images and sensations, and the brain's way of processing experiences and ideas, Sharon Sliwinski says. (Abdulhamid Ozturk/Unsplash) An online catalogue of dreams has turned into a popular podcast, a record deal and global collaborations Conversation with professor Sharon Sliwinski is part fascinating lecture - an incredible introduction to the world of dreams by an author and expert on them - and part gentle therapy session. What could be more compelling than learning about dreams?  They are the brain's way of processing experiences, ideas and details. Depending on one's beliefs, the "slightly nonsensical narratives" are messages from the universe, a Creator, or oneself, Sliwinski says. Some can change the course of their dreams - escaping just before the peak of a nightmare, for example. Others try to dismiss their dreams as bizarre but meaningless. Sliwinski sees it differently.
