D is for Dream

Pacifica’s Stephen Aizenstat Sheds Light on Nighttime
Visions

For this week’s Curioser and Curioser, Martha Sadler sat down
for a chat with Stephen Aizenstat, the founder and president of Pacifica Graduate Institute, a co-founder of Earth Day,
and an internationally respected expert on dreams. Aizenstat was recently named a Local Hero by The Independentfor decades of helping the community, but in this interview, we wanted to draw on his background in psychology and learn more about his field of professional expertise.

Hence, “D is for Dreams.”

Martha Sadler met
Aizenstat earlier this week over warm drinks at the Coffee Bean and
Tea Leaf on Coast Village Road in Montecito. The professor had just
dropped off some chapters of his forthcoming book at the post
office, and agreed to spend some of his valuable time answering
Martha’s questions.
