“The stronger a person’s power of moral and political resistance was, the more positive, less absurd, their dreams were... These stand in direct contrast to the dreams where the dreamer has lost their ability to act, even while asleep.” – Charlotte Beradt
Filmmaker and journalist Amanda Rubin explores what our dreams reveal about our values, our fears, and our ability to stand up to injustice.
Drawing on Beradt’s extraordinary archive of dreams collected in 1930s Nazi Germany, this event uncovers how dreams reflected both anxiety and helplessness, as well as surprising forms of resistance.
Together they will consider what makes us conform, what helps us resist, and how our unconscious minds may perceive more than we realise. A haunting lesson and warning from the past, with echoes that remain urgent today.
