Dreaming: Dudley Demented (Book 5, Chapter 1)

Welcome back for Season 5! This week, Vanessa and Matt explore the theme of Dreaming in Chapter One of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix! They discuss Harry's literal dream which is overheard by Dudley, Mrs. Figg's big reveal, and the Proto-Germanic roots of dreaming. Throughout the episode we consider the question: how do our dreams impact our lived realities?

Thank you to Erin for this week’s voicemail! Next week we're reading Chapter 2, A Peck of Owls, with special guest Micaela Blei through the theme of Friendship!
