Y'all, help me figure out what's going on in this crazy movie. Have you seen A Night on Elm Street? What is your interpretation of the ending? Let me know on Twitter @juncturepodcast.
In addition to analyzing the film, I also talk a little bit about dreamscapes, the veil that separates us from the spiritual world, and lucid dreaming. Plus you'll get to hear me gush over Johnny Depp.
