The Dream Journal

We all know that dreams can galvanize your creativity. Today we meet an author who has published three dream-inspired fantasy novels which seek to reimagine the hero’s journey. Author Donna Glee Williams, PhD is our guest and her latest book is called The Night Field. Plus music by Lynn Morgan Rosser. Donna Glee describes her 17 year mentorship with Jeremy Taylor which began as an exploration of an ongoing dream theme of difficulty getting to water. She also speaks of dreams that are gifts for others and shares that she recently wrote a story based on another’s dream. When published it will have the dreamer as co-author. She describes using dreams to inspire creativity by starting with the question, “If you were to do something to honor this dream, what would it be?” She then speaks about how her books embody a new kind of Hero’s Journey more appropriate for a post-patriarchal world than the traditional Joseph Campbell formulation, a new paradigm that gets away from individualism and invites co-heroes. After the break we take a call from John of Santa Cruz who describes research showing that people who play music access different portions of their brain than those who don’t. Our engineer and music-creator Rick adds that music is a high-bandwidth form of transmitting nonverbal information. We then take a call from Lynn Rosser of Asheville of North Carolina who has created music to go with Donna Glee’s new novel. We play part of the piece called Bridges. You can find Lynn at LynnMorganRosser.com and on Spotify and other platforms. Donna Glee suggests that listeners go to ko-fi.com/lynnmorganrosser to support her. We then talking about using fantasy to address real-world issues including addressing problems with pesticides which are portrayed, but never explicitly mentioned, in The Night Field which emerged from her work with the Eco Tipping Points Project which can be found at EcoTippingPoints.org. Donna Glee ends by reading the opening paragraphs from her new novel. BIO: When I first met Jeremy Taylor, I was already a writer but—other than my doctoral dissertation—I’d never written in any long form. During my 17 years of dreamwork with him, I wrote three novels seeded by dreams. His fingerprints are particularly bright on my latest, The Night Field.

Trouble sleeping through the night? Maybe you are on your way to a superior sleep schedule which could enhance your creativity, flexibility, and dream recall. We talk with David Cielak about what Seth has to say about sleep and dreaming. Dave recommends five hours of sleep at night preceded by the important suggestion that upon awakening I will be refreshed and ready for the day. You are also encouraged to nap as needed. This sleep schedule enhances dream recall and can lead to more lucid dreaming and was inspired by the writings of Jane Roberts who channeled the entity Seth. He recommends using the following incubation “As I sleep I will attract from inner reality the very best possible events in all areas of my life.” The Seth materials suggest that our waking reality is determined by our choices in our dream state. Dreams help us change the beliefs that dictate our waking life behavior. We get more personal after the break and Dave talks about how the book Seth Speaks literally fell off the shelf into his lap and changed his life. I share a dream about my recently deceased father which reveals my changing beliefs, and Max asks Dave to tell us about his understanding of the Australian aboriginal concept of the Dreamtime. BIO: David has been playing with dreams since childhood, over 55 years! David migrated to Australia in 1990 and used dreams to help that decision and process along. A long term student of the Seth Materials since his early 20. “We create reality from the inside out using the dream state”. David has been practicing the Superior Alternative Sleep Schedule for the past few years.

Is waking life really a kind of theater which we make up along the way? The transformative potential of dreamwork, today with author and certified dreamworker, Tina Tau. Tina shares a dream in which she struggles to swim upstream, then suddenly stands up and realizes the water is not so deep. We speak about how this highlights that our understanding of what’s true in any moment, waking or sleeping, may be radically altered by our expectations. She shares another dream in which she notices that a giant bird seems to be operated by wires like a puppet and asks, “Who is big enough to operate that puppet?” Tina describes how this dream opened up for her the realization that much of reality is staged like a play. After the break, Gary from Oregon calls with a dream including three planetariums. We take a second call from Kristen from Virginia who shares a dream that is one of a series of dreams about her ex-partner. We finish with a few words about asking for dreams to help with the climate change crisis and a description of her recent book “Ask for Horses”. BIO: Tina Tau is an adventurer, writer and dreamworker, living in Portland Oregon. She is the author of the recent memoir, Ask for Horses: Memoir of a Dream-Guided Life. She believes that dreams are a royal road to a great conversation, and a window into a richer version of reality. Find our guest at: TinaTau.com Show aired on September 23, 2023.

An anima dream series and personal neurobiology. Also Dreams about love and, just in time for Hispanic heritage month, Mexican American male identity formation. A conversation with John Valenzuela, PhD. John describes that the anima and animus figures we meet in our dreams are autonomous spiritual beings AND also parts of us and that the gender distinction is probably a cultural artifact. We talk about the distinction between when a dream figure is a someone we know from waking life vs a stranger. John describes a few dream from his own anima series and talks about the way dreams reveal our “personality landscape.” He talks about the nine domains of integration from the work of Dan Siegal and says that dreams are helping with this integration. Those oh-so-common dreams of trying to find something are probably our own brains in the process of integration. We take a call from Rochelle from San Diego who shares a dream series about her teeth falling out while on a date. We end by talking about John’s research into dreams and identity formation in Mexican American males. BIO: John Valenzuela, earned his Ph.D. from Pacifica Graduate Institute’s Clinical Psychology program. His dissertation Psyche’s Response to the Intersections of Cultural Complexes: Mexican American Male Identity Formation explores dreams and their symbolic connections to Aztec culture. His dream work explores the intersections between Jungian archetypes and neuroscience.

Would you let a bot interpret your dreams? Should you? We speak with Joanna of Blue Lotus Queendom about the pleasures and pitfalls of using AI with dreams. Also what is Yoga Nidra and how does it support Dreamwork. Joanna gives many suggestions about how to use AI with our dreams but that list does NOT include asking the AI what your dream means. She urges us to trust our inner knowing instead. This leads to a conversation about the ethics of telling someone else what their dream means. We switch to a discussion of yoga nidra. Joanna suggests that it can help us as dreamers in many ways including making us aware of different states of consciousness as well as possibly increasing dream recall We take a call from Kristen from Virginia who shares a dream about black demons attacking Robin Williams few days before he killed himself. We then take a call from Wendy from Monterey who shares a dream suggesting that we can to learn to cooperate to influence the outcome of the future. Synchronistically, Wendy had met Robin Williams before the years of his fame and recognized that he was alienated from others even then. BIO: Joanna Kowalewska, the founder of Blue Lotus Queendom, is originally from Poland. She is certified in Dreamwork and Yoga Nidra and regards dreams as sacred portals to wisdom. She inspires others to connect with their inner guidance through private sessions, dream circles, and workshops. She has recently authored a free ebook exploring potential influences of Artificial Intelligence on the sacred realm of dreamwork.

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 says that we can choose to communicate only with benevolent ancestors and are also able to heal the less healthy ancestors and not let ourselves be controlled by them. She suggests using the four elements as part of our rituals around working with these dreams and focusing on intentionality and gratitude. She describes what she calls Earth Dreaming which is dreaming for the healing of Mama Earth. Max 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. Kay calls from Vermont asking if you can you doubt the answers from your ancestors, and Stephanie replies, “Yes! Trust what you know.” BIO: Stephanie R Burns, based in New Orleans, is an author, speaker, and master dreamer who uses her multiple degrees to explore ways to create frameworks from ancient wisdom.

Can we predict who will develop PTSD? Our guest, Dr. Greg Mahr, studies patients with acute trauma, and he discovered that their dreams in the days and weeks after their injury suggest who will recover fully and who will be mired in PTSD months later. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a condition that occurs after trauma marked by intense nightmares and increased risk of suicide, but only about 30% of those traumatized go on to develop PTSD. In Dr. Mahr’s acute trauma center in Detroit, he interviews victims of car accidents and assaults and asks about their dreams in the days immediately after the trauma and finds that experiences of helplessness in their dreams and during their trauma correlate with the development of PTSD. After the traumatic event, nightmares tend to replicate the event exactly, but changes soon develop in those who recover in which the person finds some agency and the dreams eventually start to have happier endings. This mimics the process of IRT, Image Rehearsal Therapy, in which people can deliberately change their nightmares by imagining new versions of the troubling dreams. Dr. Mahr speculates that one of the purposes of dreaming is to encourage us to talk about our traumas and that they help us develop a narrative about the event. We take a question from Amy about how to bring up the topic of nightmares with a doctor and end by talking about post-traumatic growth and the idea that dreams are messages from ourselves. BIO: Greg Mahr MD is a psychiatrist, a teacher and a writer. He is director of Consultation Liaison Psychiatry at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit and is on faculty at the Wayne State University School of Medicine. Dream work and Jungian depth psychology have been long standing passions for Greg, and at over 5000 dreams, he has one of the most extensive collection of personal dreams in the world.

A spiritual lesbian lawyer activist with Jewish roots, our guest, Roberta Kurlioff, tells the story of growing up in an orphanage and then building her home in the woods of Maine, creating a meaningful life even in the face of great losses. Her memoir is “Framing a Life: Building the Space to Be Me.” Roberta describes her life (warning: spoilers!) and her many losses along the way, all of which lead her to want to live her life more fully including exploring her Jewish heritage, delving into the realms of spirituality, and fighting for women’s rights. She describes many dreams that helped her along the way including precognitive dreams, and she also describes her current battle with cancer. Max asks Roberta about how dreams helped her reconcile her spirituality with her Jewish roots. BIO: Roberta S. Kuriloff is a speaker, community activist, former attorney and the author of “Framing a Life: Building the Space to be Me” (She Writes Press, July 18, 2023). With humor and poignancy, her memoir takes readers along an inspiring journey of self-discovery as Roberta finds that home is less a physical place than an intrinsic sense of self, an unshakable foundation of the heart and soul. She also published “Everything Special, Living Joy, Prose and Poems to Inspire,” and a short story she wrote, “Unearthing Home,” was published in Yellow Arrow Publishing Journal. An essay called ‘Musings on the Word Atonement’ was published in “Art In The Time of Unbearable Crisis; Women Writers Respond to the Call” published by She Writes Press June 2022.

Companioning the dying through lucid dreams. Our guest shares some of her experiences of psychopompic dreaming. 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. Find our guest at: JeanneVanBronkhorst.com Show aired on August 12, 2023.

Today’s guest composes music to his patient’s dreams, capturing feelings and moods and deepening the psychotherapeutic process. Dr. Michael Mollura is a PhD licensed clinical psychologist and also an award-winning music composer for TV and movies. Michael started by scoring music to his own dreams and later found out how valuable the practice was in deepening the healing for his psychotherapy clients. We play a clip of one such piece called Scary Path Dream. Michael describes the process of scoring the piece including using cello to represent the waving branches of the trees. He also describes the effect that listening to this creation had on his client in deepening her process and even bringing up waking life memories that she had forgotten. We take a call from Steven Ernenwein who describes his own experience scoring music for the dreams of guests on his podcast The Dreams that Shape Us. BIO: Dr. Michael Mollura is a licensed clinical psychologist with a Ph.D from Pacifica Graduate Institute and a Master’s Degree in Performance Studies from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts.

Have you ever felt better about yourself after telling someone your story? Today we speak with author and cult survivor Gerette Buglion who guides others to tell their “I got out” stories in a process she calls Writing to Reckon. We start with a question from podcast listener Beth sent via Instagram, “What was your biggest motivation for telling your story and what were your hopes for it in the world?” We go deep into answers to those questions and also address the shame that people sometimes feel about discovering that they have been in a coercive situation. We talk about how writing your story can help you find a way back to yourself and why you might or might not want to share it and with whom. Support for writing your story can be found at igotout.org/empowerment including Gerette’s free Writing to Reckon classes, or register here GeretteBuglion.com/writingtoreckon. Gerette finishes by sharing her three favorite writing prompts designed to help you reclaim your own power as you write your story. Her new book is a journal to help you flesh out your story. The August zoom book launch party will be Tuesday, August 29 at 7pm Eastern Time. To join, register here GeretteBuglion.com/writing-to-reckon-book. BIO: Born a middle child of seven, Gerette Buglion is a natural – and lifelong – educator.

When should you do the opposite of what you usually do? Today we speak 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.

Connect to the soul using dream incubation! We speak with Machiel Klerk starting with the dream that inspired his creation of the fabulous Jung Platform, a site offering online courses, lectures, and certificate programs that are inspired by Jungian psychology. We go deep into dream incubation: what it is, what kind of questions to ask, how to set up a meaningful ritual to improve your changes for success, and how to recognize and work with the answer. We also talk about nightmares which Machiel describes as trying to wake us up to something in the unconscious that is ready to emerge into the conscious mind. BIO: Machiel Klerk is a psychotherapist who specializes in helping people access their divine wisdom. He helps individuals identify their challenges and break old patterns to live a more balanced, creative life fulfilling their divine purpose. He is the author of DREAM GUIDANCE: Connecting to The Soul Through Dream Incubation (Hay House), where he guides readers on tapping into their inner wisdom through dreams as well as the founder of the Jung Platform, a website that offers online courses on psychological and spiritual perspectives, which he created as a result of a dream.

Instead of puzzling over the meaning of your dreams, bring them to life with Natural Dreamwork. This show originally aired last Fall. Katherine speaks with poet and author Rodger Kamenetz. He suggests a practice of exploring dreams which starts with counting your blessings. He also spoke about dreams as symbolic in the same way that poems are and about dreaming as a sacred encounter. We take calls from Kat from Delaware who dreams about a baby with a too long neck and from Maureen who dreams about waiting for her boyfriend by two bridges. BIO: Rodger Kamenetz is the author of 15 books of poetry and prose. His book The Jew in the Lotus is an international best-seller. He is Professor Emeritus at LSU where he founded the MFA program in creative writing and the Jewish Studies minor. He is the founder of Natural Dreamwork, an international group of twenty dreamwork practitioners who approach the dream as a natural resource for healing and spiritual growth. The History of Last Night’s Dream was featured on Oprah Winfrey’s Soul Series. The Natural Dreamwork approach is to avoid interpretation and focus instead on bringing to life rich moments of feeling in dreams that arise in sacred encounters. A recent presentation to the Yale Alumni Association gives a good sense of the approach that he’s developed after eighteen years of experience working with dream clients: https://youtu.be/KFQCBU9U7ik Find him at kamenetz.com and thenaturaldream.com Twitter: @Jewinthelotus, Instagram: @rodgerkam, Tiktok: @kamenetz, FaceBook: Rodger.Kamenetz, YouTube: https://bit.ly/RodgerKYouTube Intro music is Water over Stones and outro music is Everything both by Mood Science.

Why do we go to all the trouble and expense to come to a conference anyway? I ask six dreamers what they find here and the answers vary: family, inspiration, friendship, understanding, plus going to conference is like going to Hogwarts! My guests are Victoria Rabinowe, Curt Hoffman, Marcia Emery, and Bob Krumhansl in the first half, and Linda Schiller and Lauren Schneider (with a reprise from Victoria) in the second. The conversation ranges on from my original question and includes topics like why are dreamers considered airy fairy when my dreamer friends are the most grounded people I know? And, where do the images come from anyway? I apologize for rough audio in the first 30 minutes! Skip ahead if you want to, or take a listen all the way through.

Nightmares: what’s their cause and cure? Our guest is clinician and dream demystifier, Dr. Leslie Ellis. Nightmares seem to be caused by anything upsetting whether in recent life or from long ago. Luckily, we don’t need to know what is causing a nightmare to work with it. Dreaming helps us metabolize emotions but nightmares can wake us up, interrupting the process. She describes a dream as a picture of our current or habitual nervous system condition (ala Eugene Gendlin). It can be helpful to rescript the dream or change the ending in an environment where we feel calm and safe. Dr. Ellis describes bias control and aspects of Stephen Porges’s polyvagal theory. BIO: Leslie Ellis is author of A Clinician’s Guide to Dream Therapy and offers online dreamwork certification to mental health professionals. Her experiential approach to engaging with dreams is based on focusing, an approach that privileges the body’s felt sense in the exploration of dreams. Developed by Eugene Gendlin, a focusing approach includes finding help in a dream and bias control. Leslie has expanded on this method to develop an embodied approach to treating nightmares, and recently published a paper in the journal Dreaming on nightmares and the nervous system.

Dreaming can help us prepare for and recover from loss, but how do we continue to engage with Spirit during our waking lives? Today, we have a conversation about Lucid Living with Sahlah Dubel. This is a rebroadcast of a August 2022 show. Stay tuned for updates about Divine by Design at the end of the show.

A Viet Nam combat vet with PTSD. What do 137 of his dreams over 45 years reveal about how dreams help us process emotion? Also tips for dealing with nightmares and highlights from the upcoming IASD conference. Katherine speaks with IASD conference co-chair and founder of Dream Science Robert Hoss. Bob describes that after a traumatic event, dreams can be direct replays, but over time, as symptoms ease, dreams morph into metaphors related to the event. Bob gives examples of how dreams offer us alternative solutions to our dilemmas and change our minds IN THE DREAM, so that we don’t have to work with a dream or even remember it to benefit from the dreaming process. He describes nightmares as unfinished dreams and gives several ways of working with them including Image Rehearsal Therapy and becoming lucid.

My personal writing mentor, Andy Couturier, is helping me through the birth of my book about dreaming. Andy is also an avid dreamer in his own right, and he has lots of say about using dreams to deepen our enchantment and sense of magic in the world. We start with Andy sharing an early childhood dream of bookcases full of presents which he thinks of as the gifts of life to come. He says that dreams are a welcome non-utilitarian part of my life and quotes from Thomas Moore&#8217;s book The Re-Enchantment of Everyday Life. We talk about the Abundance of Less by our guest and The Poetics of Space by Gaston Bachelard. Andy recommends that we ask questions of our dreams without needing to answer them. He also shares some writing exercises from his book Writing Open the Mind designed to access the subconscious and describes the logistics of his self-organized dream group encouraging you, the listener, to set up one of your own. We take a call from a widow in Aptos whose husband died three years ago. After an absence of three years, now he is starting to appear in her dreams. We also take a call from Elizabeth in Bellingham who says that her dreams are guiding her as she writes her memoir, and she ends by asking a provocative question about how we are each placed in time which inspires Andy to share one of his precognitive dreams. Sign up for Andy&#8217;s contact list to stay in the loop about the new course he will offer later this summer called &#8220;Dreaming and Writing,&#8221; or to sign up for one of his Book Completion groups. BIO: Mentor of hundreds of completed books and author of Writing Open the Mind and The Abundance of Less, Andy Couturier is a writing coach and an engaged dreamer. During waking hours he is also guiding Katherine&#8217;s book creation journey using innovative writing techniques that access subconscious processes. He walks the line between dreams and the waking subconscious, practicing an open-minded curiosity and amazement toward dreams, and he likes to welcome all the dream parts without making a story of them, but including them all and giving them all voice. He is developing a new course for this summer called “Dreaming and Writing.&#8221; Find our guest at: theopening.org or on IG at Andy.Couturier.

It&#8217;s April Fool&#8217;s Day, and we are talking with dreaming&#8217;s biggest trickster Robert Moss. Moss is a shamanic dreamer and author of over two dozen books. Today talk about traveling without leaving home. 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 take 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, who 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. Robert announces that he will lead a course called Adventures in Soul Travel which will be released on the Shift Network in May, 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.

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. 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 Frued&#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.

When are ADHD and dyslexia assets instead of handicaps? When you are an octopus! Our guest today is Dr. Octopus himself, Perry Knoppert. We talk about about his nonlinear revolution called the Octopus Movement. Perry&#8217;s movement welcomes all out-of-the-box thinkers celebrating neurodiversity, multipotentiality and deep curiosity. We muse over how nonlinear dreams are, and Perry describes being nonlinear as like being on psychedelics all the time. Perry and Katherine explore several of his recent dreams from different angles. Perry describes how he has been experimenting with not needing to understand his dreams but has been finding it valuable to carry them around with him during the day. He wonders if perhaps they are often dramatic because there are so many things that we are not paying attention to during the day. He urges listeners to join his revolution. BIO: Perry Knoppert aka Dr. Octopus is a nonconformist, embodies the spirit of a life artist. Born in the free-spirited Netherlands, he sold lampshades with his father and experienced the diversity of the market. But Perry yearned for more and discovered the beauty of unexpected possibilities in Beijing, China. Embracing his ADHD energy, dyslexic learning style, and multi-tasking brain, Perry founded The Octopus Movement, a mycelium of nonlinear thinkers. The platform empowers out-of-the-box thinkers to unleash their unique talents and shape the world with their artful approach to life. Perry is a visionary, a trailblazer, and a true-life artist.

Also can dreams open our minds to other consciousnesses? Our guest today is professor emeritus Curt Hoffman, PhD. Curt is an archeologist and an anthropologist. He starts by describing that several big dreams shared with colleagues inspired his interest in dreaming. He has been a member of IASD (International Association for the Study of Dreams, asdream.org) since 1997. We play several pieces of Curt&#8217;s music whose creation was guided by explicit instructions from his dreams. He produced 768 pieces of music in 19 months and has assigned one to each card in the Tarot deck. His website sharing these pieces will be up soon. Our show music creator Rick Kleffel takes the mic to ask if Curt knows of the work of Bill Nelson who has similar dream-inspired pieces plus Rick shares his own recent dream-inspired music story. We then speak about Curt&#8217;s book Stone Prayers about identifying almost 6000 sacred sites on the Eastern Seaboard in which he provides evidence that these sites were were constructed as sacred places by the indigenous peoples of the region. Curt touches into his experiences around consciousness sharing during dreaming. He shares his dream from that morning about a liger (lion and tiger cross-breed). We take two callers: Sonia from Massachusetts asks about whether the IASD conference will come to Bridgewater soon. And Tony Russomano relays a question from Cindy from Santa Rosa about an example of some of the dreams that inspired his music.

How can we create spaces of pleasure for queer and black people? What about dream spaces? This is a replay of one of my favorite recent shows. Our guest is Tuere Khanyisa, the founder of Black Femme Brunch. She is an avid lucid dreamer and she has lots to say about the pursuit of pleasure. Tuere shares some of her intense dreams including a lucid dream called The Devil and the Three Portals. She suggests that we can use awareness of absurdity to become lucid. She defines pleasure and draws me out about what brings me pleasure. She suggests that one of the ways that we learn to feel free is by choosing our own roles in life. We take a call from Ellen from Soquel who shares a dream about her daughter. BIO: Tuere Khanyisa is a Charlotte native who earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees at North Carolina Central University.

Dream Alchemy and Depth Psychology. Also Kabbalah and Tarot. These are just some of the tools in the tool chest of today&#8217;s guest, local Jungian therapist Eva Rider.

DreamStar Free Online Counseling, using dreams in therapy and her experiences with dream telepathy. Our conversation this week is with Professor Suzanne Maniss of U Texas Rio Grande. We start out talking about how little clinical health workers learn about dreams which is similar to the small amount that medical doctors learn about nutrition. The dominant therapy mode is currently cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) which is geared toward controlling symptoms rather than shifting underlying causes. Suzanne describes this as a &#8220;whack a mole&#8221; approach. Suzanne describes her work with Scott Sparrow, PhD and how they teach graduate students to incorporate dreaming into therapy. You can apply for free sessions from these students and also take courses to learn about the technique at DreamStarInstitute.com. After the break we got more personal and speculative. Suzanne&#8217;s son Jeremy called in from Dallas and shared how they used to talk about his dreams on the way to school. Suzanne then shared an uncomfortable experience of dream telepathy. Finally, we took a call from Ray of Santa Cruz who synchronistically wanted to ask about dream telepathy and had clicked into the system before we started talking about it. BIO: Dr. Suzanne Maniss is professor and chair of the Department of Counseling at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. Suzanne is a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate and first became interested in dreams during her graduate studies, as a result of which she spent ten years in Jungian analysis. Throughout her academic career, Dr. Maniss has found that students are very interested in dream work and has been able to share basic theories and techniques through elective courses and professional development workshops in the community. Most recently, she has collaborated with Dr. Scott Sparrow to bring these ideas to the students at U Texas, Rio Grande. Contact me if you&#8217;d like to get in touch with our guest.

How can you dream well if you&#8217;re not sleeping well? Our guest today is neurologist and sleep specialist 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.

(Delay due to stormy Santa Cruz weather!) Paying attention to dreams can change your life. So can psychedelic experiences. We speak to Dr. Darren Jakubec who is a medical doctor and a dream coach. He runs both a pain clinic and a ketamine clinic and works as an anesthesiologist in an emergency room in northern Canada. Darren starts by saying that dreams saved his life and his marriage and gives examples of how. He says dreaming and psychedelics both offer inner revelations, and he shares ideas about how to bring such inner revelations into everyday waking life. He gives examples of how addressing emotional aspects helped patients who were dealing with issues of chronic pain. We take a call from Marlena from Santa Cruz who shares several images including an unfolding blue house, a papaya shaped liked a vagina and the word riparian over and over.

Can dreams trigger personal alchemy? We talk to Kat Appleby about her own process, which started with a dream fragment that triggered a major somatic experience which lasted for months and turned into an ancestral memory from an enslaved ancestor. Kat shares with us how, over the last few years, her dreams have led (and are leading) her through a process of learning about her own divinity. She shares dreams of water, fire, rage, snakes, dancing women and more snakes. We talk about cultivating a practice of growing to trust yourself and how you can use ritual to explore your own dreams. We also touch into the idea of the psychoid. BIO: Katrina Appleby was a Certified Professional Dreamworker and a Mentor for the Institute of Dream Studies. Since the age of four Kat has been aware of the importance and power of dreams and dreamt often about snakes. She finds that it is indeed quite normal to meet Gods, Goddesses and power animals in her dreams. Kat joins us today from the UK. She is passionate about working with people and their dreams, especially with those that feel that they have a bigger purpose and calling and are looking to their dreams to find out which direction to take.

What does the Bible teach us about how to understand our own dreams? In this Christmas Eve edition of the Dream Journal, we speak with Carol Oschman about her book, Biblical Dream Study. The Bible mentions dreams 134 times, yet the dreams of modern-life parishioners are rarely mentioned from the pulpit. Carol Oschmann shares with us practical advice about understanding our own dreams derived from looking at the way that the Biblical figures interpreted theirs. She shares many Bible dream stories including Jacob, Solomon and of course, Joseph and his famous interpretation of the dream of the seven fat cows being eaten up by the seven lean cows. For example, Carol suggests that we, like Jacob, turn and face the beings that are chasing us in our own dreams, either in the dream itself or in waking life imagination. She also defines what she calls &#8220;Golden Sword&#8221; dreams akin to Judas&#8217; dream of being given a sword to defeat his enemies. These are dreams in which we are given tools to accomplish our goals. She gives examples of how she and others have been helped by ideas presented in dreams. We finish by touching on how dreams help with the grief of bereavement and Carol shares her own journey of recently losing her husband. BIO: Carol began her journey with dreams due to a spiritual awakening in 1985. She’s traveled and spoken across the country and in England, taught dream interpretation in a prison for three years, led several dream groups. The spiritual experience was so exciting, that’s all she wanted to talk about. Unfortunately the pastor in her Methodist church didn’t agree and asked her not to come back. This book “Biblical Dream Study” in a way is her answer to those Christians who don’t believe that God speaks to us in dreams. (Note that the correct way to pronounce Carol&#8217;s last name is &#8220;Osh-man&#8221;.)

Is there evidence to show that people were lucid dreaming in ancient times? Today&#8217;s guest is Sarah Janes. We&#8217;ll talk about her interests in ancient mysteries and her new book: Initiation into Dream Mysteries: Drinking from the Pool of Mnemosyne. Sarah describes how she has been lucid dreaming since a baby and often returns to the same dream places again and again. We talk about the Asklepion Dream Temple healing traditions including inductions that will maximize your chances of encountering gods and goddesses in dreams or their avatars including snakes or dogs. She speaks about Mnemosyne (pronounced knee-moss-in-nay) who was the mother of the Muses and served to guide the deceased to Hades. Drinking from her pool ensures remembrance. Sara describes several techniques to enhance dream recall including practicing by writing down a waking day as if it were a dream. She also speaks about cognitive enhancers that can increase the frequency of lucid dreaming and ends by describing her ongoing podcast releases and some of her many upcoming events. BIO: Sarah Janes is a hypnotherapist, a lucid dreamer and an studier of Egyptian antiquities. She hosts many online events, schools and podcasts regarding ancient mysteries. Her new book is called Initiation into Dream Mysteries: Drinking from the Pool of Mnemosyne which refers to the Greek goddess of memory, sense-making and eloquence. Mnemosyne is the archetypal deity of the Asklepion dream temple tradition. Sarah&#8217;s book explores the history and culture of the dream as medicine in the Western esoteric tradition and is designed to lead the reader on a self-initiatory journey inspired by the dream philosophies and sleep temple systems of our wisest ancient ancestors.

A conversation with an author of four books about dreaming, we talk about the ins and outs of nightmares and how to stop them. AKA RadOwl, our guest is Jason DeBord, moderator for the reddit page r/dreams. With over 200,000 members, it is by far the largest dream-sharing community in the world.

As a way of dealing with nightmares, we speak about lucid dreaming and addressing the intelligence behind the dream.

Jason suggests that the main cause for nightmares is a conflict between the conscious and unconscious minds. We take a call from Ronnie from Santa Cruz who tells about a friend who shared with him a dream about an owl. We end by musing about why dreams speak in symbols instead of more directly. BIO: J.M.

Dreams often bring simple moments of magic that can make all the difference, and every dream has hidden jewels ready to be uncovered. We talk today to dream guide and professional gemologist Jane Carleton. Jane describes how she knows when a person has found the right gem for them because their bodies change and their eyes light up. This is similar to dream work when an &#8220;Aha!&#8221; will light up a dreamer often without them being able to explain it. Jane shares stories about asking for waking life magic and about using talismans to help remember the dream. She also speaks about waking life inner voice experiences and shares a moment where that voice saved her during a carjacking. We take a call from Walter who shares an intense nightmare of a boy who is attacked by two giant gems. BIO. Jane E. Carleton, MA, GG holds two graduate degrees in Dream Studies, and Consciousness and Transformative Studies and has taught graduate courses on dreams at the California Institute of Integral Studies. As a Graduate Gemologist since 1984 she pursues two careers: as a dream specialist and fine jewelry appraiser. Jane is especially interested in how simple moments of magic can make all the difference, and how all dreams have hidden jewels ready to be uncovered. She is currently writing a book that shows how dreams, inner voice experiences, and synchronistic experiences can inspire us and help us navigate challenging times.

Instead of puzzling over the meaning of your dreams, bring them to life with Natural Dreamwork. Katherine speaks with poet and author Rodger Kamenetz. He suggests a practice of exploring dreams which starts with counting your blessings. He also spoke about dreams as symbolic in the same way that poems are and about dreaming as a sacred encounter. We take calls from Kat from Delaware who dreams about a baby with a too long neck and from Maureen who dreams about waiting for her boyfriend by two bridges. BIO: Rodger Kamenetz is the author of 15 books of poetry and prose. His book The Jew in the Lotus is an international best-seller. He is Professor Emeritus at LSU where he founded the MFA program in creative writing and the Jewish Studies minor. He is the founder of Natural Dreamwork, an international group of twenty dreamwork practitioners who approach the dream as a natural resource for healing and spiritual growth. The History of Last Night&#8217;s Dream was featured on Oprah Winfrey&#8217;s Soul Series. The Natural Dreamwork approach is to avoid interpretation and focus instead on bringing to life rich moments of feeling in dreams that arise in sacred encounters. A recent presentation to the Yale Alumni Association gives a good sense of the approach that he&#8217;s developed after eighteen years of experience working with dream clients: https://youtu.be/KFQCBU9U7ik Find him at kamenetz.com and thenaturaldream.com Twitter: @Jewinthelotus, Instagram: @rodgerkam, Tiktok: @kamenetz, FaceBook: Rodger.Kamenetz, YouTube&#8221; https://bit.ly/RodgerKYouTube Intro music is Water over Stones and outro music is Everything both by Mood Science.
