"With my patients, end of life cancer patients, dreams are expansive, positive, filled with reconciliation as they're asking for surgery and all that. You would think they're all going to be horrific because it's dark times stress, right?"
Dr Rahul Jandial recalls that some end-of-life cancer patients he has treated report dreams that feel expansive, positive and centred on reconciliation. He adds that dream themes may vary by life stage, and says links between daytime stress and dream content are not always clear.
