Bible-plus-classics reading group, Session 5: Dreams and drama

​​A discussion group where we pair Bible passages with classic texts. No beliefs required!

​Having completed our initial cross-section of the Bible, we’re now going to spend a few sessions tying together some core themes. For this session, we’ll be exploring the motif of dreams, and we’ll relate it to how thinkers across the centuries, including Freud and Jung, have discussed the meaning of dreams.

​We will also read, and likely enact, a scene from Oedipus Rex that is relevant to both this session and the next.

​Please prepare by reading the texts described in the doc:

​There's a lot to read, and plenty to discuss!
