Series
Six episodes on what dreams are, from Freud and Jung to Genesis and Revelation.
Why we never talk about our dreams, what the depth psychologists said they mean, how Scripture treats them as a meeting place of the natural and supernatural, and a staged method for interpreting your own.

1:06:24Opening a six-part series, Dr. Firestone tells of a dream that made him straighten up his life shortly before meeting his wife, diagnoses the modern 'schizophrenia' between sacred and secular using Francis Schaeffer's open versus closed system, and introduces Harry Hunt's six types of dreams and Abram's dream in Genesis.
Lecture-style series build on themselves. Numbered so you can follow the thread.

1:16:11Dr. Firestone interprets his own 'Jack in the Box' oracle dream three ways, through Freud's wish fulfillment, Adler's forward-leaning striving, and Jung's compensatory drive toward wholeness, showing that all three agree dreams are meaningful, structured expression rather than random noise.
1:09:24Explaining Kant's role in the birth of psychology and Wilhelm Wundt's reaction-time experiments, Dr. Firestone presents Calvin Hall's content analysis and Fritz Perls's Gestalt method, in which the dreamer speaks as each element (he becomes 'the hut') until nothing in the dream remains foreign.
1:19:54Using Seymour Rossel's Bible Dreams, Dr. Firestone reads the dreams of Abram, Jacob, Joseph, Pharaoh's cupbearer and baker, and Solomon to show the Old Testament treating dreams as a meeting place of natural and supernatural, and asks whether some dreams reveal more than the individual mind.
1:09:13Calling Matthew the New Testament's Genesis for dreams, Dr. Firestone parallels Joseph of Egypt with Joseph of Nazareth, the silent actor who obeys, then surveys Cornelius and Peter in Acts, Paul's visions, and Revelation as one long vision, countering the idea that dreams fade after Pentecost.
1:24:40Concluding the series, Dr. Firestone gives a staged method for interpreting your own dreams: journal it, record your unfiltered reaction, run it through Hall's and the depth psychologists' lenses, then return to Scripture, illustrated with his 2008 dream about finishing In Defense of Kant's Religion.
