Summary

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. # 1278 The Nightmare Clinic: Confronting Monsters To Find the Cure It’s 3 a.m. You wake gasping, the nightmare’s grip still tight. In Detroit, Dr. Greg Mahr runs America’s only Nightmare Clinic, where patients don’t flee their terrors—they re-enter them. Nightmares, he insists, are encrypted dispatches from the soul, desperate to heal what daylight ignores. Using dream re-entry, trauma decoding, and his new Dream Wisdom Oracle, Mahr turns monsters into mentors. From veterans haunted by war to collective visions of apocalypse, we explore the neuroscience, the sacred, and the shadows that refuse explanation. What if your worst dream isn’t the enemy—but the cure? GUEST: Dr. Greg Mahr is a psychiatrist at Henry Ford Hospital and founder of America’s only Nightmare Clinic. Faculty at Michigan State and Wayne State Universities, he’s published extensively on trauma and dreamwork. Co-author of The Wisdom of Dreams: Science, Synchronicity and the Language of the Soul and creator of the Dream Wisdom Oracle (46 cards + guidebook), Mahr treats nightmares as intelligent messages from the unconscious—guiding patients to confront their terrors and emerge transformed.
