What can dreams tell us about life under Nazism?
Journalist and filmmaker Amanda Rubin joins historian and psychoanalyst Professor Daniel Pick to explore an extraordinary archive of dreams collected by Charlotte Beradt in 1930s Nazi Germany. These dreams, often unsettling, sometimes surreal, reveal how fear, propaganda, and control seeped into the unconscious lives of ordinary people.
Together they will reflect on how political power can shape not just our actions and words, but even what we dare to imagine. Beradt’s work still resonates today, raising timely questions about truth, illusion, and the hidden effects of propaganda.
Daniel Pick is a leading historian and psychoanalyst whose work bridges history, psychology, and culture. Author of The Pursuit of the Nazi Mind (OUP), he leads the Wellcome Trust project Hidden Persuaders on Cold War fears of brainwashing, and is a familiar voice on BBC radio and television.
