Ep. 67 - Understanding grief dreams | Dr. Joshua Black

As for most of us in Western cultures, dreams used to mean nothing to Dr. Joshua Black, but that completely changed after the death of his father. At the time, he remembers feeling numb, his life’s colors had disappeared. One day, after a peaceful dream with his dad, “the color was back,” he says, and, as if by magic, he could suddenly function again. Even though it was helpful to him then, he still had no idea that that specific dream would transform and guide his life.

Today, Dr. Joshua Black, a PhD in psychology, dedicates his research to grief dreams and their impact on those who are left behind. In this interview, he shares some of the findings with us and helps us answer some of the common questions surrounding dreams: do we all dream? Why some of us can’t remember them? Do they have a function? Is there a way to trick our minds into dreaming more often or even changing their narrative?

What about suicide dreams? Are they different? What do they say about our loss?
