The Dream Journal

Can dream interpretation be manipulative? You bet! Our guest Gerette Buglion, of Living Cult Free, shares her experiences with 18 years in a dream cult. Gerette is passionate about reclaiming her own life and helping others to reclaim theirs. I start by reading a short passage from my book in progress about the vulnerability of dreamers when they ask for support around their dreams. Gerette tells two of her dreams and how they were interpreted by her ex-teacher in a way that belittled her tender nature. She goes on to tell a new dream in which someone negates her own vivid experience of seeing a white bear. After the break, we talk about gaslighting and how it can be healthy for people in relationship to have different perceptions. We end with Gerette talking about the clarifying nature that writing about a lived experience brings and describing the ongoing and drop-in writing groups that she offers, plus the upcoming online panel with guests Sarah Edmonson, Daniel Shaw and others Gerette is author of two books “An Everyday Cult” and “Writing to Reckon Journal.” BIO: Gerette Buglion wants to live in a world where cult leaders, narcissistic abusers, and manipulative marketing techniques are spotted, called out, and silenced, creating more opportunities for nourishing relationships to flourish. Her work as educator centers on liberation from coercive control and supporting the integrative power of writing for survivors of cultic relationships through Writing to Reckon™ programs.

We talk about projective dreamwork and then, in the second half, we do it! We start by talking about what projective dreamwork is and who developed it and what projections are. After the break, we use projective dreamwork on a dream from Julie from Denver in which a bobcat mysteriously comes out from a crowd.

Could doing yoga while on psychedelics improve insight? What about yoga while lucid dreaming? Our guest, Henry Kandel, teaches what he calls “Ketamine-State Yoga” which he says improves healing outcomes, stokes creative flow, and cultivates spiritual experience. While ingesting an unintentionally large amount of ketamine while meditating, our guest discovered the value of doing spiritual practices while using psychedelics, and now he teaches it to others. When it comes to breaking patterns of depression or addiction, Henry says that the key to getting a healing effect is to have a spiritual or mystical experience whether meditating, having a lucid dream, or using psychedelics. He then touches into microdosing and how it can enhance noticing the dream-like nature of things. After the break we take two calls, the first is from Henry’s daughter Alice in Brooklyn who describes starting a lucid dreaming practice at age eight to help her deal with her troubling sleep paralysis. The second caller is Ellen from Soquel who shares some of her experiences of using Tibetan Dream Yoga practices to enhance lucid dreaming. At the end of the show, Henry speculates why mystical experiences are emotionally healing. BIO: Henry Kandel is a science teacher and yogi living in Brooklyn. He has studied diverse forms of yoga for over 30 years including Tibetan Dream and Sleep Yoga from Tenzin Wangyal and Chongtul Rinpoche. He originated Ketamine-State Yoga and has taught it to yogis, therapists, and hundreds of folks online. Find our guest at: HenryKandel.com where you can find out about his psychedelic yoga meetup.

When should you do the opposite of what you usually do? Today we share a popular replay about lucid dreaming, shadow work, and dream yoga with Chris Cunniffe. Chris had been a lawyer for 8 years when he had a dream which nudged him onto a more spiritual path. In the dream, Chris was at a Milli Vanilli conference which led him to wonder about what part of his life was a false front. Chris urges us to consider “doing the opposite”. For example: dreaming is meaningless; consider that it might be meaningful. Nightmares are bad and should be avoided; perhaps they are helpful. I should run away from that monster in my dream; maybe I should turn towards it. Chris gives examples of using this idea with shadow dream figures. We then speak about treating waking life as a lucid dream including connecting with those cartoon-like figures we encounter over and over. I got some personal ahas from this discussion about my own trouble delegating tasks. We end by talking about the idea that some of the people we meet in our dreams are counterparts or soulmates. BIO: Chris is a graduate of Holy Cross College (1993) and Harvard Law School (1996). He has a career background as an entrepreneur in both law and real estate. In 2015, Chris founded Lucid Coaching, LLC, as a creative vehicle for offering coaching services to clients and for publishing articles and videos about dreams, personal development, and spirituality. Chris currently serves as a board member and volunteer facilitator at Bliss Spiritual Co-op, a Charleston based retreat center, where he facilitates discussion groups about dreams and other topics.

Professor Bargdill argues that every time we dream, our soul gets schooled! He says dreams prepare us for the future and reflect back to us our past, giving us a chance to make different choices in the future. We talk about what he calls dream inversions in which dreams turn the tables on us and let us know what others feel about how we behave with them. Also he argues that positive dreams are not wish fulfillment but are encouragements for us to keep going. He describes what he calls nightmirths, which are pleasant dreams that we wake up from smiling. After the break, we take a call from Kai from Miami who shares a dream about seeing her name on a tombstone that helped her understand that she had made the right choice about attending graduate school. We then talk about death dreams and sex dreams, and Richard ends by suggesting that dreams are helping us prepare big changes in the human race. BIO: Richard Bargdill is an Associate Professor of Psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University. Dr. Bargdill is the author of six books, including the newly published: A Dreamer’s Thought Book: Intriguing Ideas about the Dreaming Process. His professional publications cover topics such as boredom, depression, meaning making and dreaming. His book is available here: UniversityProfessorsPress.com/product/a-dreamers-thought-book/, and at most bookstores.

Our guest has hosted hundreds of patients on ketamine-assisted psychedelic trips and has gone on a few of his own, yet his experience is that dreamwork can be even more profound. Dr. Darren Jakubec is an emergency-room anesthetist and runs a pain clinic in northern British Columbia. Jake talks about his history with dreaming and inner work and then gives an example of working a dream with a pain clinic patient. He describes his experience with a ketamine clinic which he ran for several years, describing psychedelics as an inner work accelerant which uses much of the same language as dreaming. After the break we take a dream share from Steve Popp, co-host of the “In the Garden” program which precedes the Dream Journal on Saturday mornings on KSQD. The dream features powerful spiritual themes which leads us into Jake giving his analogy about psychedelics vs dreaming which he summarizes as fire hose vs garden hose. We take a second dream from Elizabeth from Bellingham WA of a chaotic car trip with a problematic loved one. Books mentioned during the show: The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk, How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan, and various work by Gabor Mate. He also mentions the Curable app for dealing with chronic pain. BIO: Darren Jakubec, M.D., is trained in family medicine and in anesthesia and lives and practices in northern British Columbia. Darren has been a dreamworker for 12 years and practices dreamwork in his pain clinic, in his ketamine clinic, in the emergency room, and in the hallways and rooms of the hospital where he works.

We speak with poet Renzo Del Castillo about building connections and empathy through creation, art, integrity, and love. Renzo is the author of the award-winning, best-selling debut poetry book “Still” (available in Kindle version for 99 cents). The poems that make up the book were conceived during a time of many losses including the death of his father. We talk about how we are each made up of pieces of the people we love and so they still live in us. After the break, Max asks about the idea that we can see things in our dreams that we have never seen before and how that can open us to possibilities in waking life. We talk about how travel, dreaming, and poetry all create empathy and about being immigrants into our own dream worlds. BIO: Renzo Del Castillo is a creative instigator and community builder who bridges gaps and builds empathy through creation, art, integrity, and love.

Are you ready for a dream revolution? If our guest Dr. Catherine Shainberg reads it right, this could be as big as the 16th century reformation. In this replay from 2022, Catherine starts by describing how she was told as a child to stop &#8220;dreaming her life away&#8221;, and yet here she is now with a full-time career of teaching people through the School of Images to bring more imagination into their lives. Dr. Shainberg offers to explore Katherine&#8217;s recent dream of a mysterious and apparently unstable stone edifice. She associates the wall with my recent feelings of anxiety and encourages me to erase the image. She helps me to find a new image to replace it. We then speak about how the modern world floods us with images so that our inner faculty for imagination is atrophied. Catherine says that dreams show us the truth of our current situation which isn&#8217;t always a pretty picture and so our dreams are not always peaceful. She describes that we are in the midst of a Dream Revolution in which we are finally realizing that mental processes are not enough to solve our problems. In the final segment, Ray calls in from Santa Cruz, and Dr. Shainberg leads him on a visualization to help him discover which of his burning questions are the most important. BIO: Catherine Shainberg, Ph.D., is an internationally renowned transpersonal psychologist, lecturer, teacher, visionary, and award-winning author. Grounded in the Kabbalah of Light, her work integrates timeless wisdom with modern Western traditions to catalyze creative manifestation at all levels, in all areas of life &#8211; personal and professional, communal and global. She created the School of Images® based on her profound realization about the power of images to create, manifest and transform. As a master of this work, she has developed an approach and body of techniques using dreams, images and inner gazing to communicate with our subconscious and change our lives.

Can doing your personal dreamwork really improve the world? Our guest this week, Christian Gerike, believes that the more people pay attention to their dreams, the better they will be, and thus the better the world will be. Christian considers himself a dream generalist and is committed to spreading enthusiasm for dreamwork. He argues that working with your dreams helps you learn to look beneath appearances in the world both dreaming and awake. He shares a dream of his in which a mouse needs his help because it is wrapped up in an electronic cord. Throughout this episode, we cover a wide range of important dream fundamentals including the value of dream groups and the &#8220;if it were my dream&#8221; approach, dream puns, animals in dreams, associations, amplification, and archetypes as well as manifest vs latent content. After the break we take a call from Cynthia from Sebastopol, CA who shares a dream about being kidnapped and taken to a retreat center which she discovers relates to her recent job loss. Christian then recommends Freud&#8217;s book, On Dreams, written for the lay audience, and he talks about how we here in the global West could learn from the many cultures that find much more value in dreaming than we do. He ends by argues that paying attention to your dreams can enhance your natural intuition. BIO: Christian Gerike writes and teaches in the field of dream studies. He taught dream psychology for several years at Sonoma State University. Recent publications in the IASD DreamTime magazine discuss dream circles and metaphors. In June he co-presented a workshop at the IASD conference in the Netherlands. This fall he will teach dreamwork at Marin College.

When your mind doesn&#8217;t generate images, how does that affect your dreaming? Aphantasia affects as much as 5% of the population. Are you an aphant? Our guest is Paulina Trevena, PhD. Picture an apple. What do you see? Paulina starts out by taking us through a few tests to gauge our ability to visualize. People fall onto a spectrum of ability to make images in their minds. Often aphants can create other sensations in their minds but some think primarily in words only. Interestingly, this neuro-divergence (sometimes called image-free thinking) is often linked to SDAM, a severely deficient autobiographical memory. Like many aphants, Paulina does have vivid dream images and her dreams are often wild, but she cannot picture the dreams once she awakens. After the break we take a call from Donna Glee Williams who tells us about her experiences with an aphant in one of her dream groups. We talk about aphantic visual artists and strategies for hypnotic induction with aphants. She ends by describing PTSD for aphants and then speculates on a possible connection between ADHD and aphanatasia. Paulina&#8217;s webpage is still in progress but should be available in a few weeks at PaulinaTrevena.com. In the mean time you can contact her through social media at: FB: @NoWooWooLady, LI: @DrPaulinaTrevena, or X: @paulina_trevena Here are some resources for aphants: Aphantasia.com and https://www.facebook.com/groups/aphantasiaandhypnosis BIO: Paulina Trevena, PhD, is a hypnotherapist, educator, and researcher. After years in academic research, Paulina discovered the fascinating world of hypnosis and was hooked! However, Paulina found her aphantasia was a barrier to accessing hypnosis. This led her to research and now educate on best practice in working with aphantasics.

Enoughness. Do you have it? Don&#8217;t you want it? How to feel like you are enough by changing your feelings about your past with Regenerating Images in Memory. Our guest this week is the Enoughness Guy, Michael J Kline who argues that you don’t build your enoughness, you uncover it. Regenerating Images in Memory (RIM) is a facilitated process developed by Deborah Sandella, PhD, which dips beneath the logical mind to leverage awareness of the body for emotional healing. Described as psychedelics without the psychedelics, RIM is a client-led process akin to a waking lucid dream which helps create new emotional memories around difficult experiences. Mike gives an example of how he resolved a pre-birth memory using RIM and how that helped him move into a place of feeling more joy in his life. After the break, Max asks a question about images that come up for him in waking life, and we wonder if this might be part of a spontaneous healing process even though the images are sometimes disturbing. We end by talking about emotions as a kind of feedback system in our life which tells us what is important. BIO: Michael Kline never felt he was good enough. After fifty years of overcoming obstacles to create successes in work, home, health and happiness, nothing was enough. Accessing non-ordinary states with meditation, psychedelics and Regenerating Images in Memory (RIM), he dissolved his old stuck emotions, healing trauma and uncovering his natural enoughness.

Guiding spirits home. Our guest shares some of her experiences of psychopompic dreaming in this mind-blowing replay show. Starting when she was 9 or 10 she would dream of being in a classroom where she learned how to change the dream. Several years later she describes her first experience of helping a dying person happened several years later when she found herself in a dream falling together with a woman who was terrified. She was able to slow their fall by dreaming up first n umbrella then a parachute letting the woman land softly in a place where friends were waiting to greet her. She shares several such stories (including one in which she was awake but meditating) and says that in the liminal space between life and death, our dreaming muscles are essential when the physical world falls away. Jeanne describes some of the work of Allan Kellehear in his book Experiences Near Death: Beyond Medicine and Religion, saying that near death experiences vary across cultures, but the one thing in common is that the dying person is always being helped as they approach that threshold. Rick shares a dream in which one of his beloved dogs is killed, and Max asks whether Jeanne feels prepared when she has these experiences of if she is just winging it. We muse over Tibetan Dream Yoga and the idea that we are more open to these liminal spaces when we are dreaming and marveling over the rich variety of metaphors for dying that people experience, and end by talking about how to enhance emotional connections with those who are dying. Jeanne also appeared on the Dream Journal in August 2021. That conversation can be found here: https://ksqd.org/dreams-at-the-end-of-life-with-jeanne-van-bronkhorst/ BIO: Jeanne Van Bronkhorst, MA, MSW, worked with people in hospice care for ten years. Her interest in end-of-life care began in childhood, when she occasionally dreamed of helping people who were dying. Now she is on the board of the IASD, and writes books about end-of-life about end-of-life dreams and grief dreams.

How can you dream well if you&#8217;re not sleeping well? Our guest in this popular replay is neurologist, sleep specialist, and podcaster Dr. Chris Winter. Chris starts out talking about how he has always enjoyed sleeping and how that ultimately led him to a career as a sleep specialist. We sleep a third of our life and sleep affects all aspects of our waking life. We talk about &#8220;eight hours a night, every night&#8221;. Is that a myth or do sleep needs really fall on more of a bell curve? You might think you need less sleep than that, but is it really enough or are you just getting by? How do you feel during the day? Also falling asleep too quickly is a clue to being sleep deprived. We take a call from Susan from Novato who talks about enjoying waking up early, even sometimes as early as 3:30am. Dr. Winter talks about chronotypes and how they vary from person to person and with age. He speaks about dreaming as a marker for getting good sleep and that dreams can be a kind of sandbox for the mind. BIO: Dr. Christopher Winter is a neurologist and sleep specialist. He is the author of The Sleep Solution: Why Your Sleep Is Broken and How To Fix It and The Rested Child: Why Your Tired, Wired or Irritable Child May Have A Sleep Disorder&#8211;And How To Help. In addition to optimizing the sleep of numerous professional sports organizations, he hosts the podcast Sleep Unplugged with Dr. Chris Winter which is consistently ranked as one of the most popular medical podcasts in the country.

Will we make it to a safer age? Humanity balances between two paths: self-destruction or self-revelation. Our guest, Christine Barrington describes this critical inflection point and argues that dreams awaken us to the realm of purpose and meaning arguing that every one of us has much to contribute to the path of humanity. Christine begins with James Braid then outlines the complicated history of science and consciousness including how they got separated in the first place, culminating with the philosophy of positivism which is the belief nothing exists that cannot be verified. She notes in contrast that most of the giants of quantum theory were also mystics including Planck (mentioning his book Where Science is Going) and also Einstein, Schrödinger, Heisenberg, Bohr, and Pauli. On the thread of consciousness, she quotes Carl Jung and his work on the tension of the opposites and synchronicity, also Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ken Wilbur, and Joe Dispenza and the birth of neurophysiology and mindfulness. Christine brings it together talking about Thomas Campbell and his book My Big TOE and his &#8220;theory of everything,&#8221; which argues that consciousness is the basis for everything and that we are here on this planet to learn and evolve that consciousness, one person at a time. She plays a quote of his about how dreaming gives us information about our selves in that how we react in dreams is how we are. As we learn to be more living and present, then our dreams evolve too. Christine ends by sharing information about a conference put on by Campbell&#8217;s organization, the Center for the Unification of Science and Consciousness CUSAC.org, and the the symposium they will be hosting in September. BIO: Christine Barrington has worked as a psychotherapist and transformational coach and is a seeker who has invested years searching for answers underlying the challenges of human existence. She asks will we make it to a safer age?

We speak with Bill St. Cyr starting with how common shame is and how the mean voices that we carry around make it hard for us to let in the love that&#8217;s all around us. Test taking in a dream is often about shame. Bill shares a dream in which he felt a deep sense acceptance when a dear friend tenderly put their forehead up against his. We talk about something called the entropic theory of the brain which draws parallels between the dreaming brain state and the brain on psychedelics and how they both can throw our brains into enough disarray that we come out of them in a new state. We take a call from Christine Barrington who shares a dream where she felt supported, and she speaks about how we all learn best through connection. She also defines a heretic as one who choses. Bill closes by encouraging us to bring tenderness to our life&#8217;s journey every step of the way. To learn more and to contact Bill and to learn about his coaching and classes, see his website at StudentsoftheDream.com Books we talked about include Pema Chodron&#8217;s Start Where You Are and Lisa Barrett&#8217;s How Emotions are Made. BIO: Bill St. Cyr is a devoted student of the dream and of the process of coming into deep consciousness in the face of the trauma and alienation that is so endemic in our culture. Bill has over 10 years experience working with dreamers and teaching practitioners the practice of Embodied Dreamwork. He has presented and facilitated over 75 workshops, retreats and conferences throughout the US, Canada and Europe.

Connecting with our ancestors. Our guest Stephanie R. Burns starts by describing her all-inclusive view of ancestors which is far vaster than our biological lineage, including the most ancient ancestor of them all, the Earth.

She describes what she calls Earth Dreaming which is dreaming for the healing of Mama Earth. Max from Bonny Doon shares a recent dream of his about a tree and how we act as if everything is not connected. Steve calls from Prunedale to ask how to start making an alliance w a particular grandfather who died when he was ten.

Why are dream-inspired poems so powerful? We speak today with award-winning poet, author of multiple books, and committed activist, the dynamic Joan Gelfand. Joan shares a poem inspired by a dream called Burial, quoted in full below. She speaks about why she thinks that dream-inspired poetry can be so riveting while telling someone your dream can evoke eye-rolling and boredom. She also reads a poem about Ferlinghetti which formed the basis for an award-winning video which can be found here. Joan also gives specific advice about crafting poetry. In the second half we take three calls. First Kelly Sullivan Walden calls to ask Joan how her dreamlife has been responding to the release of her new book. Joan brings up a dream in which a friend has a business named Contagious Vulnerability. Second we get a call from Adam who shares a dream about elephant which destroys his electrical panel. I offer an alternate idea to what he shared that ChatGPT had suggested about the dream. Finally we take a call from Donna of Capitola who shares that she is an observational poet. She shares a recurring dream about a trying to find a restaurant. BIO: Joan Gelfand is an award-winning author of three collections of poetry, a chapbook of short fiction, and a novel set in a Silicon Valley startup.

You might imagine a mudslide Rushing down steep mountain terrain Your legs buckling. You might imagine a building, Shaken to its core, rubble tumbling Knocking you senseless. You might imagine water, too deep, A collapsed bridge, a tunnel broken. My burial was none of these. An angel chanted And I went under, alone and Unafraid.

Today we celebrate the 250th official podcast of the Dream Journal by replaying a popular show which just happens to be with my brand designer Andrusa Lawson of Divine by Design. Urban shamanism and setting sacred space. Dreams, like myths, can be regarded as stories that are not true but that say something true. The essence of setting a sacred space is being intentional and finding a common sense of meaning. We also speak about non-verbal communication in dreamwork and traditional indigenous oral storytelling. Also, the power of urban spirits and dreams of city places. After the break, we take several questions from Max including what specific filters Andrusa uses to keep his dreamtime sacred. We end by speaking about Andrusa&#8217;s ideas about karma-less action. BIO: Andrusa Lawson, Vice president and creative director of Divine by Design, is a dream worker exploring the process of committing the innate wisdom of dreaming into communal memory, the ability of stories to cross cultural barriers, and the unique medicine that oral traditions represent for people whose voices have been historically silenced.

Do voices in your head guide your waking life? Inner Wisdom Figures and Internal Family Systems. Inner exploration with today&#8217;s guest Charles Tack. Charles describes Internal Family Systems as a way of building relationships with the different voices inside ourselves, many of whom came from the cultural and familial messages that we grew up with. He then describes what he calls Inner Wisdom Figures, which are inner characters who seem to be a few steps of development ahead of where we are in waking life. Charles describes how to engage with both of these kinds of inner voices through what Jung describes as active imagination. Charles also describes how he uses I Ching as part of inner work, and we end with a discussion of how to move toward joy and radiance. BIO: After years of facilitating groups and coaching clients to improve, Charles realized that he was only superficially successful. More importantly, he didn’t enjoy what he advocated for. That began a decades-long inquiry that led to an ever-increasing appreciation for our child-like aspects, greater access to holistic, wisdom influences and more embodied joy.

What does the #metoo movement have to do with the climate crisis? And how can dreams help both? Today meet Marsha Hudson and Norman Brown. We&#8217;ll talk about Love and Power and how better emotional versatility can improve relationships and reduce our impact on the planet… and on each other. Our guests start out by saying that women seek love while men seek power. Reconciling these two drives is the work of relationship. They talk about how a modern lack of empathy is the root of both the #metoo movement and the current climate crisis. Marsha shares a dream in which policemen come to the door telling her how to live her life as an example of how dreams reveal subconscious material that is hindering the relationship. They describe the nine basic emotions and the value of naming them highlighting shame and contempt as well as excitement/interest. They finish by talking about their upcoming free class about emotions which starts March 7 in Santa Cruz. CONTACT Dr. Brown or Dr. Hudson at 831-239-4901 to register for the class. BIO: Norman M.

A conversation about psychedelics with holistic facilitator Steve Elfrink of Om Terra Psychedelics. How dreams and psychedelics shift consciousness and help resolve trauma. He describes primary consciousness as the body and the subconscious while secondary consciousness is everyday awareness. Primary consciousness is present all the time, but is deeply accessed through dreaming and psychedelics. Steve recommends what he calls a psycholytic dose to help get out of a loop of unresolved emotions, but he cautions that a psychedelic session is just the beginning of a healing journey. In the second half, Steve shares his own riveting journey with psychedelics and Max asks where one can find psychedelic assistance. Resources mentioned during the show include Robin Carhart-Harris, Peter Levine, Bessel van der Kolk, Third Wave, Psychable. Today marks the fifth anniversary of the Dream Journal!

Dream yoga, dream tarot, and the creative life. How to live and embody the dream as a daily practice which helps with life and with death. Today&#8217;s guest is Niki Jaimes, founder of the Rising Wolf Collective. We start by talking about dream yoga as a daily empowerment practice and a kind of self study. She says dreams helped put her in touch with her emotions and bodily sensations and to develop her intuition, She describes a shamanic journey that led her to heal a mysterious shoulder pain. We talk about the paradox that learning to feel safe is the first step in learning to feeling our more unpleasant feelings. We talk about learning to cultivate trust which will help us as we face the ultimate release of death. Niki describes how using Tarot is a way to take your intuition to the gym. We take a call from Ray of Santa Cruz who says that he happened to do a tarot reading just that morning, and we explore some of the meanings that came up for him around his longing to find his path in life.

Guide your dreams with the power of thought and intention. Explore creativity, healing, sex, grief, and the nature of time and space. Today we talk to Lucid Dreaming expert Dr. Clare Johnson. Clare describes an intense dream which spurred her to write her next book which is currently in the editing phase. She says that dreams, lucid or not, demonstrate that we are in partnership with our own subconscious. She tells of lucid dreams in which she questions the nature of dreams, energy, and even of matter. We then get into a conversation about nightmares: what they are for and some ideas about dealing with them in the dream itself or in the waking state. After the break, we take a call from Holmes from New York who tells about a dream where he is with a pastor but can&#8217;t hear what he says. The pastor has a spider on his head which looks right at Holmes and gets bigger and bigger. Clare suggests he go back into the dream if he wants to find out what the pastor said. He also tells us he has many sex dreams which Clare says is sometimes related to spiritual awakening. Homes finishes by telling us how a waking life meditation allowed him to let go of his fear of dream whales. We take a second call from John from Santa Cruz about how he often drifts in and out of dreaming and wakefulness. Clare ends by talking about how raising our quality of awareness can improve the consciousness that we take with us when we die.

How to write your story and transform your Tragic into Magic! Our guest today is the inimitable Kelly Sullivan Walden author of ten books. Kelly starts by saying it&#8217;s best to write from a place of passion and describes what authority means to her and what it can mean to you. We talk about the idea of the hero’s journey which starts with a call to adventure then ends with giving to others what we have learned. Along the way we will encounter much resistance and, much like in working with dreams, we need to turn enemies into allies. Kelly suggests a daily writing practice, maybe start with a dream. Kelly goes through the transformative OGLE practice which she explores in her new book, A Crisis Is a Terrible Thing to Waste, and which can be applied to waking life experiences as well as to dreams. We take a call from John from Santa Cruz who share a recurring dream about losing his way and all of his things, and we talk about the book Man&#8217;s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. Kelly has a writing class which starts January 25 which you can sign up for at KellySullivanWalden.com/get-er-done/ BIO: Kelly Sullivan Walden is the bestselling author of 7 oracle decks and ten books. Her latest is NYC Big Book Award’s A Crisis is a Terrible Thing to Waste (recommended by Shirley MacLaine).

Bill describes some highlights of his spiritual journey so far including a trip to Nepal, a sailing trip across the Atlantic, Jungian analysis, and parenting his two adopted children. Bill shares a dream which he had leading up to the interview he calls Mountain Joy Ride and other dreams including a series he calls the Seduction Series and the Concrete Wave. He recommends a book called Mindful Dreaming by David Gordon. We speak his views about moving from &#8220;role to soul&#8221;, from the do-it-all phase of life to a more contemplative phase. We also speak about shadow manifests when we overreact in waking life and about how dreams assist in our ego death which dissolves shadow. We take a question by Max about his experience in the men&#8217;s movement. Bill recommends the work of Robert Bly and Illuman.org, an organization created by Richard Rohr, and mentions his professional book about leadership called The Leader&#8217;s Shadow. We take an email question from Charles about using active imagination with dreams and finish by talking about his current spiritual path which involves Tai Chi and what he calls unlearning. BIO: Bill Judge is a recently retired college professor who is shifting from “role to soul.” This shift has been greatly aided by his dream work.

Does dream sharing increase empathy and insight? Today meet two English professors who say, &#8220;Yes it does!&#8221; The Science and Art of Dreaming is their new book. This is a replay from a popular episode recorded in March. Mark starts out by talking about the innocence of dreams and how they tell the truth, even though we often can&#8217;t recognize it. Julia suggests we can look at dreams as our own art work. Together they describe their process in which Mark guides the discussion of a dream while Julia creates a drawing around the dream on pages torn from Freud&#8217;s famous book, The Interpretation of Dreams. Mark describes his research which shows that (1) dream sharing increases empathy of group members and (2) people who are high in empathy are more attracted to dreamwork than those who are not. He also touches on human self-domestication and shares recent work suggesting that dream sharing might have been an important part of that process. We take three callers. First John from Santa Cruz describes that he feels sensations in dreams like thorns prickling but not body blows. Steve Popp from the Garden Show then shares a dream about a hooded black cobra lying in square coils. Finally we take a call from Ray of Santa Cruz who dreamt of being chased by a giant bear at Stonehenge. BIO: Mark Blagrove is Professor of Psychology and Director of the Sleep Laboratory at Swansea University, UK. He is a past-President of the International Association for the Study of Dreams. Julia Lockheart is Associate Professor at the Swansea College of Art, University of Wales Trinity St David, and is a Fellow of the Royal Society for Arts. Since 2016 they have undertaken public Ullman dream discussions, with Julia simultaneously painting each dream as part of their DreamsID.com collaboration. The collaboration has resulted in their 2023 book, The Science and Art of Dreaming, published by Routledge.

Sometimes we have to wander the world to find out what lies in our own soul. Our guest Royce Fitts, D Min used a multi-week solo stravage on the oldest road in Europe as his chance to reflect on his history, on social consciousness, and on spiritual wisdom. Royce starts by defining the word stravage (&#8220;strah-vegg&#8221;) as an aimless, defiant, and profound wandering which is a spiritual theme in his new book, The Geography of the Soul. We talk about Royce&#8217;s multi-week solo stravage along the Ridgeway National Trail as a metaphor for the spiritual journey that we each are on. Raised on a farm in a small town of western Nebraska, Royce eventually left the conservative religion that he had become a minister of to become a spiritual counselor, a practitioner of dreamwork, and an adherent of process theology. We take a call from Julie from Denver who shares a dream about butterflies emerging from a globe in the living room of her home which we look at as a story of transformation. BIO: Royce Fitts is an author, a licensed marriage and family therapist, and a certified dream worker. He holds a doctorate in ministry.

Is there any hope for authenticity? Today we speak with Jungian analyst Susan Schwartz who describes her work on the imposter syndrome and the fragility of the self. Dr. Schwartz starts out by describing how much energy our inauthenticity takes and yet we often are taught early to conform and deny ourselves. To learn to be more in tune with your inner impulses, Susan recommends starting to pay attention to Aha moments in waking life. While talking about the symbology of up vs down, Susan touches on what she calls the value of depression as well as the differences between persona and shadow. In the second half, we get into a conversation about ageism and western views of aging and how we might go about finding a purpose beyond having a job and raising kids. We end by talking about finding a sense of belonging. BIO: Susan E. Schwartz, PhD trained in Zurich as a Jungian analyst and is also a clinical psychologist. She presents in the US and worldwide.

What is sandtray work and how does working with metaphor benefit us neurologically? We speak with Leah Hodari about applying sandtray work to dreamwork. Leah starts out by talking about the history of sandtray and how it deviates from the Jungian practice of sand play. She describes how all aspects of the therapy encourage therapeutic bilateral integration, allowing trauma, which lives in the right hemisphere, to emerge and be processed by the more verbal left hemisphere. We talk about metaphor in sandtray work and in waking life in that humans commonly experience that one object can hold many different meanings. Leah talks about the power of using sandtray to explore and modify dreams and lists several questions the dreamer can ask themselves to deepen their dreamwork. In the second half, Leah talks about how she got started with this work. We take an email from Rachel who asks about talking in her sleep and a question from Max who shares his experience that both he and his son find that playing with and creating miniatures can be be relaxing and helps with focus. Leah ends by talking about how schools could be made more friendly for students.

Traveling without leaving home. A shamanic dreamer and author of over two dozen books, we speak today with Robert Moss in this special replay from April Fool&#8217;s Day. Robert describes himself as a story teller who helps people find their story. He begins with the tale of what happened when he was pronounced dead at age 3 and about how dreaming is preparation for dying. We speak about the power of imagination and about the practice of living by synchronicity which he calls kairomancy. He urges us to remember to play. We explore a dream from Steve Popp of Santa Cruz in which his dad offers him a horse which ultimately turns into a deer, and a call from Elizabeth from Bellingham who asks about how to stimulate more dreams. She mentions a dream of her own about a blue horse. We also take a call from Beth Ann from the Central Valley who asks about how to find humor and playfulness around dark dreams. Synchronistically, she also mentions dreams about horses. BIO: Robert Moss has been a dream traveler since doctors pronounced him dead in a hospital in Tasmania when he was three years old. His School of Active Dreaming is a synthesis of modern dreamwork and ancient shamanic practices for journeying to realms beyond the physical. He leads adventures all over the world, including a three-year teacher training and popular online courses for the Shift Network. He is a New York Times bestselling novelist, poet, journalist, and independent scholar. His latest book is Growing Big Dreams: Manifesting Your Heart&#8217;s Desires through 12 Secrets of the Imagination.
