EPISODE 12 // Have you ever dreamt something, only to eventually watch your dream play out in the real world? Have you ever seen someone in a dream, only to meet them later in real life? Have you ever experienced lucid dreaming? An experience of being aware in a dream and using that awareness to sometimes manipulate the dream itself. Have you ever woken from a dream that was so intense and real that it took you some time to shake it off? Or maybe it impacted you in such a deep way that you were forever changed? On Episode 12, I want to fall down the rabbit hole and land in the dreamworld. Dreams fascinate me and I don’t really know much about them, other than I mostly enjoy having them, so I thought I’d invite my friend and fellow dream enthusiast, Dr. Maggie Schein, to the podcast to talk with us about dreams. You can wear whatever you want, but we’re wearing pajamas. Guest Info: Dr. Maggie Schein https://www.maggieschein.com/ Dr. Maggie Schein is an educator, ethicist (moral psychology), and author of both fiction and non-fiction. She has just completed her tenure as the first writer in residence at the Prindle Institute for Ethics at DePauw University, a position supported by a generous grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. In that role, she completed a book about cruelty and humanity that is hopefully both useful and provocative (Cruelty: A Book About Us). During her tenure at Prindle, she also consulted with educators and practitioners on moral development curricula, assessment in ethics and humanities, corporate management strategies, and will maintain a consulting role with the Democratic Knowledge Project at Harvard (where she was the Research Director for the Humanities and Liberal Arts Assessment Lab, 2012-2019). She is a member of the advisory programming board for the Pat Conroy Literary Center, was a Coordinating Principle Investigator for the National Ethics Project (NEP) and Chair of Education Special Interests for The Association for Practical and Professional Ethics (APPE) . She is most interested in conversations that bridge philosophy, psychology, literature/story-telling, and naturalistic virtue ethics. She tries to give alligators their space, has reverence for turtles, loves feathers and possums, is fascinated by snakes, and believes that humans, collectively and individually, are intriguing and inscrutable. She lives with her Husband and artist of all sorts, Jonathan Hannah, along with their menagerie of rescued pit bulls, cats, and the occasional drop in owl.
