Episode 153 | "Can you imagine getting bitch slapped by eight legs?"

Welcome to another dreamy episode of REMelations! This week, Mindy kicks things off with a jaw-dropping dream submission from Abigail that takes us on a whirlwind adventure. From battling mysterious bathroom doors to facing off against mutant aliens in robot costumes, this dream packs in plenty of bizarre twists. But that’s not all—there’s also a detour into dessert recipes gone wild and a showdown with aggressive dogs. After diving into Abigail's fantastical dreamscape, Mindy provides her trademark thoughtful interpretation, uncovering hidden meanings behind each surreal encounter.

Then, it's time for the fan-favorite Cat Nap segment, where Mindy and Brooke share rapid-fire dream snippets sent in by listeners. This time, they explore the strange (and sometimes scary) world of missed-connections in internet-land, the dangers of lighting up a cigarette on an airplane, a lurking spider under the bed, and peaceful retirement on an alien spacecraft. These mini dreams will have you laughing, cringing, and wondering what’s lurking in the back of your mind when you sleep.

But the chills don’t stop there—Brooke wraps up the spooky season with tales of four female serial killers who, despite their notorious deeds, have remained surprisingly unknown. Delving into the dark and twisted paths of these women, Brooke shares their chilling stories, uncovering the secrets behind their sinister lives.

Whether you’re here for the laughs, the interpretations, or a bit of true crime, Episode 153 promises to be a thrilling ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat (and possibly double-checking under your bed). Don't miss this unforgettable episode of REMelations!

Episode 151 | "It's a continent and a country, they're very lucky."

In Episode 151 of REMelations, Mindy and Brooke bring the Halloween chills with a powerful dive into Tiarnah’s vivid, recurring childhood dream. What starts as a serene, sunny afternoon under a sprawling gum tree with her sister soon takes a terrifying turn. Suddenly, Tiarnah finds herself running through a full-blown war zone with her sister and mother, dodging bombs, and weaving between collapsing buildings. As Mindy unpacks the layers behind this intense and jarring scene, we might just discover what’s hidden in the shadows of our childhood dreams.

In the “Catnap” segment, the REMelations duo brings laughs and intrigue with a quick round of bizarre and baffling listener dreams: Tom Hanks losing a strange bet, "vomiting nature," steaks tough enough to rival rubber, eerie piano keys that play on their own, and the chaos of dreamland airports.

Rounding out this Halloween special, Brooke explores some spine-tingling folklore, sharing cryptids that haunt the shadows of legend—and could just creep into your worst nightmares! It’s a spooky blend of dream interpretations, eerie tales, and a few laughs, perfect for the Halloween season.

Episode 150 | "They didn't have birth control back in the 1900's. You do it, you have a baby."

This week, we’re celebrating a major milestone—150 episodes of REMelations! To mark the occasion and embrace the October spirit, we dive into a mix of dream interpretations, quirky catnaps, and a chilling cold case.

Brooke kicks off the episode by interpreting Jake’s unsettling dream of a rundown house and a spouse who ignores him. She unpacks the symbolism and emotional undertones, revealing what these dream elements might represent in Jake’s waking life.

In the catnap segment, we share a series of wild and bizarre dreams: finding a great deal on Prada boots, recurring dreams of feeding stray cats, binge-eating alligators, a strange visit to a superhero hospital, and a dream about a tasty and intelligent head soup.

To celebrate both our 150th episode and spooky season, Mindy explores Iowa’s most infamous cold case, the 1912 Villisca Axe Murders. In this deep dive, we examine the brutal, unsolved mystery that has haunted Iowa for over a century.

Finally, we wrap up the episode by reflecting on our experience at the Iowa Podcast Awards, where we were thrilled to win Best Comedy Podcast. It’s been an incredible journey, and we’re grateful to all of our listeners for supporting us through 150 episodes.

This week on REMelations, Mindy and Brooke take us on a wild dream journey, starting with an anonymous listener's intense dream of being chased by a mysterious figure. In a frantic escape, the dreamer finds safety in the arms of a former grad school teacher. What does this chase mean, and why does refuge come from such an unexpected source? Mindy and Brooke explore the deeper meanings behind this unsettling scenario.

In the Catnap segment, we get a dose of dream hilarity with tales of an aggressive little Morkie, the joy of Wonka Bars, a child magician pulling tricks at a diner, and aliens setting up schools under a communist regime. As always, Mindy and Brooke bring their comedic take on these strange, sleep-fueled adventures.

Brooke wraps up by continuing her exploration of The Dreaming, diving into the spiritual importance of dreams in Aboriginal Australian cultures, connecting dreamtime stories to wisdom and the cosmos.

Episode 148 | "There's a checklist here copper!"

This week’s REMelations starts with Brooke diving into a wild dream from Liz. She’s casually strolling down a dim alley when suddenly, cops swarm the scene, aggressively coming at her for no clear reason. It feels like a case of mistaken identity, but why the intensity? Brooke and Mindy unpack the dream’s strange vibes, trying to make sense of it all.

Then it’s time for Catnaps, where the dream chaos continues. We’ve got a séance guide dog, some bizarre superpower training with your boss, a cruise ship running aground, the memory of a really bad beer aftertaste, and—of course—pixelated demons causing trouble. Mindy and Brooke bring their usual laughs while sharing these odd dream scenarios.

Mindy wraps things up with something that’s always fascinated her: astronauts in space. She gets into the nitty-gritty of how astronauts sleep and get ready for bed while floating around the International Space Station. Plus, what do astronauts even dream about up there? Mindy can’t help but wonder if their dreams are as out-of-this-world as their view.

Catch all the laughs, weird dreams, and space facts in Episode 148 of REMelations!
