    Shed Gators | Villisca Iowa Axe Murders

    Episode 150 | "They didn't have birth control back in the 1900's. You do it, you have a baby." This week, we're celebrating a major milestone—150 episodes of REMelations! To mark the occasion and embrace the October spirit, we dive into a mix of dream interpretations, quirky catnaps, and a chilling cold case. Brooke kicks off the episode by interpreting Jake's unsettling dream of a rundown house and a spouse who ignores him. She unpacks the symbolism and emotional undertones, revealing what these dream elements might represent in Jake's waking life. In the catnap segment, we share a series of wild and bizarre dreams: finding a great deal on Prada boots, recurring dreams of feeding stray cats, binge-eating alligators, a strange visit to a superhero hospital, and a dream about a tasty and intelligent head soup. To celebrate both our 150th episode and spooky season, Mindy explores Iowa's most infamous cold case, the 1912 Villisca Axe Murders. In this deep dive, we examine the brutal, unsolved mystery that has haunted Iowa for over a century. Finally, we wrap up the episode by reflecting on our experience at the Iowa Podcast Awards, where we were thrilled to win Best Comedy Podcast.

    Sleepy Space Pills | Sleep in Space

    Episode 148 | "There's a checklist here copper!" This week's REMelations starts with Brooke diving into a wild dream from Liz. She's casually strolling down a dim alley when suddenly, cops swarm the scene, aggressively coming at her for no clear reason. It feels like a case of mistaken identity, but why the intensity? Brooke and Mindy unpack the dream's strange vibes, trying to make sense of it all. Then it's time for Catnaps, where the dream chaos continues. We've got a séance guide dog, some bizarre superpower training with your boss, a cruise ship running aground, the memory of a really bad beer aftertaste, and—of course—pixelated demons causing trouble. Mindy and Brooke bring their usual laughs while sharing these odd dream scenarios. Mindy wraps things up with something that's always fascinated her: astronauts in space. She gets into the nitty-gritty of how astronauts sleep and get ready for bed while floating around the International Space Station. Plus, what do astronauts even dream about up there? Mindy can't help but wonder if their dreams are as out-of-this-world as their view. Catch all the laughs, weird dreams, and space facts in Episode 148 of REMelations!
