    " Six weeks after his death my father appeared to me in a dream... It was an unforgettable experience, and it forced me for the first time to think about life after death."- Carl Gustav Jung Tip O The Iceberg - is a grassroots international podcast investigating the value of dreams from the public's perspective. Season 3 : Episode 1 - Dreams of Our Loved Ones Carl G. Jung, the Swiss psychoanalyst who lived from 1875 - 1961 viewed dreams of deceased loved ones as significant, often serving as psychological tools for processing grief and integrating the lost person into the psyche. While commonly interpreting others in dreams as aspects of the self, Jung acknowledged that intense, vivid "visitation" dreams may offer comfort, signify continued connection, and hint at life beyond death In this episode guest Nora McLellan and host Michael P O'Hara discuss visitations and vivid dreams of our deceased loved ones, what’s behind them and why they occur. They also touch on how we process daily emotions through our dreams, and share a technique for clearing the mind for a more focused dream state that encourages better dream recall.
