Episode 2: Kavita

In this episode we hear from Kavita, a self-described free-spirit, born and raised in London. In one of her dreams, she visits a funeral for a Black man and spots Princess Diana in a garden.

This episode is part of larger project investigating how the Covid-19 pandemic has affected the dream-life of people living in the British capital, which was developed in partnership with the Museum of London (UK) and the Department of Psychosocial Studies at Birkbeck, University of London.

Mentioned in the episode:

• Gordon Lawrence and the Tavistock Institute, Social Dreaming as Sustained Thinking

• Freud's use of metaphors to describe dreams (mushrooms) and their unconscious well-spring (mycelium)

• The murder of George Floyd in 2020
