Lakehead University’s In Conversation speaker series returns to the Orillia Public Library this year with talks scheduled from November until May.
Experts from Lakehead University will give free presentations about dream analysis, sexual violence, the chemistry of food, bacteria growth, local history, and local food policies.
The fall series begins on Monday, November 17 (6:15 – 8 pm) with a talk by Dr. Les Fleischer, Assistant Professor/Psychoanalyst, Department of Social Work, focused on “Understanding Your Dreams.”
“Dreams can be a window to our inner wishes, thoughts, feelings and conflicts that can contribute to greater self-awareness,” says Fleischer. His presentation will focus on how to understand your dreams and will provide explanations for various types of dreams. Dr. Fleischer will also discuss his current research project on the dreams of psychotherapists.
