Have you ever lost a loved one to a controlling group? Whether around religion, self-improvement or politics, such losses can be devastating. Today we have a conversation with author and cult-recovery educator Gerette Buglion about why it is so important to keep open communication with the loved one and to offer our support for them even if we don&#8217;t understand what they are getting from that group. Gerette speaks about indoctrination and provides a check list we can use when questioning whether that group (or person) we have been so excited about might be a cult. We take a call from Veronica from Santa Cruz who asks how we can help loved ones get out of cults. She shares her story of taking the drastic step of leaving the US for a year to disentangle herself from a cult. Gerette offers a three week class starting October 18 called Writing to Reckon for Loved Ones in addition to her ongoing Writing to Reckon classes for people who are looking to process time spent in a high control group or relationship (check the image below or Gerette&#8217;s IG feed). Gerette closes with a dream about reconciliation and forgiveness around her own cult experience. BIO: Gerette Buglion is author of An Everyday Cult, a memoir which shows how her innocent quest for meaning left her open to manipulation by a controlling dream teacher. Gerette’s current work is in Cult Recovery and Education. Her signature writing course called, ‘Writing to Reckon’ offers a safe space for cult survivors to share their stories. She is a founding collaborator of the #iGotOut movement, whose mission is to encourage people who have experienced cultic abuse to tell their stories. She also has a podcast called Everyday Cults, Everyday People.

How does the Divine show up in dreams? How does trauma? The Dream Journal today hosts a conversation about the Wisdom of the Soul with Astrologer and Dreamworker Jill Eras. Let the exploration of self and soul begin! Jill has been interested in astrology from age four when she asked the librarian for books on Saturn. She describes soul as the timeless part of us and says that trauma is what breaks us open for the light to shine in. She then describes how dreams saved her marriage. We take a call from Kelly from Virginia who describes a dream about a couple in bed where the woman is giving birth. She says she has been feeling bizarrely happy lately. BIO: Jill was led into her exploration of the soul as a young child, responding to inherent curiosity and longings to know exactly what the solar system was trying to tell her. Jill discovers and works with the soul&#8217;s language as an astrologer with Wisdom of the Soul Astrology. She frequently brings dreams into astrology sessions as well as sessions committed wholeheartedly to the soul message of the dream. The birth chart and the dream are the blueprints of our truth, brought to consciousness for exploration.

Do you want to make your own brain a safe haven? We explore the idea that healing happens when we resonate with other human beings and with ourselves. In this replay from a popular show recorded in January 2021, our guest neuroscience educator Sarah Peyton talks about how our inner voice is part of our default mode network, the automatic part of the brain that is formed by our experiences, and about how we typically model our own thoughts after our parents’ mental habits. We talk about inner voices and how we can tame them by offering them empathy guesses in the mode of NonViolent Communication (NVC). Sarah offers suggestions about using these techniques to help people working with their dreams. We take a call from Jaya from Hawaii who shares a series of recurring dreams about being trapped underwater by huge waves. Sarah works with Jaya helping her to have a sense of accompaniment with these big images and with the big feelings that come with them. We end with Sarah sharing that she has been incubating dreams of beauty. Bio: Sarah Peyton, Certified Trainer of Nonviolent Communication, constellation facilitator and neuroscience educator, integrates brain science and the use of resonant language to heal trauma and nourish self-warmth with exquisite gentleness. She teaches and lectures internationally, and is the author of the book “Your Resonant Self: Guided Meditations and Exercises to Engage Your Brain’s Capacity for Healing.” Her second book from W.W. Norton, “The Your Resonant Self Workbook”, is available for preorder on Amazon and will be published May 25, 2021. Her work with dreams explores how dream images unfold when we hold them with resonance.

&#8220;Isn&#8217;t there more?&#8221; This is a question that most of us have probably asked at one time or another. The Dream Journal this week hosts certified Spiritual Director and Dreamworker Kim Vann who speaks about how when these longings surface, it is the no less than the emergence of our own “Inner Divine, God Within”. We start by talking about how seeker are often the ones drawn to dreamwork, those who are looking for more to life.

After a successful career in local government and consulting work, and years of seeking to answer the question, &#8220;Isn&#8217;t there more?&#8221;, Kim had a life-changing dream and her journey began in earnest. Kim owns her own business, Finding The Thread which brings this meaningful work to her part of the world and beyond.

She is an avid lucid dreamer and she has lots to say about the pursuit of pleasure. Tuere shares some of her intense dreams and suggests that we can use awareness of absurdity to become lucid.

Anxiety, depression and other daily challenges are real, powerful and inescapable and they have information for you on your path of individuation. A dream provides a kind of embodiment of current of psychic energy; we can welcome it in and offer it tea and cookies as if it were a person that we just met. Jonathan recommends that we let the dream spread its tentacles by holding the tension of the opposites that the dream presents to see what emerges. He urges that we learn to trust that the dreams are acting like tree roots, breaking up the concrete of our stuck places. BIO: Jonathan Hyland received his doctorate in depth psychology, aka analytical psychology, from Pacifica Graduate Institute. Jonathan first developed his methodology of archetypal dreamwork through his dissertation in which he explored his experiences of anxiety as embodied experiences of the unconscious. After teaching depth psychology at the collegiate and corporate level for 6 years and finally returning to his own Jungian analysis, Jonathan formalized his methodology as a practice of Dreamwork that he could offer to individuals.

The upheaval in the world today is evidence that the cultural myth that we in the western world are living under is undergoing a radical evolution. Our old myths are dying. What will be our new myth and will humanity survive the chaotic transformation? Christine shares the stories of two scientists who used astral travel to explore the nature of reality in a systematic way and developed an institute called the Monroe Institute to research the phenomenon of out of body experiences. The results of this research suggest that we each contribute to the evolution of consciousness through our own personal growth. Dreams and meditation enhance this process by reflecting back to us our own particular fears. We take a call from Lucille from Cambria who shares with us her experience of the nine dimensions meditation which leads us to a discussion of somatics or body awareness in personal evolution. We end with Christine talking about the power of rebirthing breathwork as a healing modality. Christine mentions the books: Memories, Dreams and Reflections by Carl Jung, Quantum Questions by Ken Wilbur, The Answer to Job by Carl Jung and The Miracle of the Breath by Andy Caponigro. Lucille references the book Alchemy of Nine Dimensions by Barbara Hand Clow. BIO: Christine Barrington is a Transformational Coach and supports individuals and groups to artfully engage their inner world through exploring dreams, art, and inner visioning in order to effect potent positive change in their lives. She is highly trained in depth psychology and trauma resolution techniques and uses somatic experiencing as a basis for deep listening into the non-rational sources of wisdom that reside in the embodied subconscious. Join us and hear how she combines these multiple modalities in the service of unlocking our dreams. Contact Christine at her web page BodyBroadcasts.com We play clips from the following two guest-selected songs: (1) The First Element: I Just Dropped in to See What Condition my Condition Was In and (2) Lovely lovely day by Yaya&#8217;s Kitchen Ambient music created by Rick Kleffel new every week.

Keith Salmon is a world-renowned nature videographer. He shares with Katherine how he was inspired by a series of distressing dreams to leave his academic job to become more connected to nature. He eventually found his calling as a videographer. We talk about the ability of animals to be present in their environment while humans have been sheltered from the consequences of their actions. Keith brings up the idea of Indra’s net of gems as a way of thinking about this web of natural relationships and says that nature invites us to become a gem in a net of gems. We then talk about how to work with the animals that show up in our dreams. Keith recommends exploring our own associations and then also to dig into the science around these animals to find out who they really are. There are times when we can follow our dream animals into waking life by visiting their habitats. Keith then shared some of his own stories about following his dream animals into waking life, and we talk about the quality of enchantment that happens as the veil between dreamtime and awake time thins. We take a call from Sylvia from northern Ontario. She reminds us that we dream not only about wild animals, but also about domesticated animals such as our pets and also talks about how when she dreams for global healing, which is a part of her regular practice, that the dreams that come are often about nature and stillness and peace. Keith quotes several memorable passages, one from writings by Eagle Chief Letakos-Lesa of the Pawnee People, and one from David Wagoner which encourages us that when we feel lost, we should stand still and let the forest find us. And finally he quotes the following: “Once for each thing. Just once; no more. And we too, just once. And never again. But to have been this once, completely, even if only once: to have been at one with the earth, seems beyond undoing.” — Rainer Maria Rilke (Duino Elegies) We played clips from nature sound recordist Lang Elliot: the Cades Cove Coyotes and the Symphony of Loons, both of which are available on SoundCloud. Bio: Ronald Keith Salmon was raised on a small sheep farm on Vancouver Island, Canada. This intimacy with animals ignited a sense of wonder in the mystery and the miracle of the Natural World. To deepen this sense of wonder, Keith studied animal science at university—where he received a B.Sc. in Animal Science and a Ph.D. in Animal Genetics. After a tenure as a Professor of Animal Biotechnology, Keith’s dreams led him to leave the academic world to engage more directly with the animals and plants who share this planet. Keith interweaves original videography, poetry, prose, sound, and song to explore the intimate relationship between the Natural World and the World of Dreams. His work represents a constellation of the insights and revelations gained through his lifelong exploration of Nature’s mysteries through the lenses of both biological science and art—and his 35-year apprenticeship in the study of dreams. Keith’s performances and presentations awaken a sense of wonder where the creatures in our dreams may become mentors who provide guidance on how we may walk in beauty on this earth.

“We will live in the future that we dream of today. Call in your freedom now.” This is a rebroadcast of the most frequently played episode of the Dream Journal so far. Whether you heard it when it first came out or not, you are sure to be enchanted. The Dream Journal hosts strategist and designer Victoria Rogers who created soundscapes in a project called Black Noise with the particular needs and sensibilities of Black people in mind. She describes her research project in which she gave Black people journals and asked them to write down reflections around dreams and daydreams to investigate if that attention deepened their appreciation of the value of rest and dreaming. We explore topics including the inequities of sleep and dreaming and how you can use dreams to help you discover your own version of freedom. We take a call from Javier in New York who asks how Victoria’s dreams have changed since she started the project and a question from Owen asking what’s next for the Black Noise project. Show aired July 22, 2023, and is replayed from a show originally recorded October 1, 2022. Support Victoria and her work here: https://fundraising.fracturedatlas.org/black-noise/general_support BIO: Victoria Rogers is a strategist focused on how to build a more equitable future for the most people.

Sleep loss is at epidemic levels today. What are we missing out on? How can dreams help cure insomnia? Because of what our guest calls, &#8220;Wake centrism,&#8221; Americans are subject to hyperarousal, and 60-70 million of us have some level of insomnia. This is an epidemic levels of sleep and dream loss. We also talk about consciousness: our fear of it and our innate need to expand it. Dr. Naiman proposes that dreaming is a dialogue with the unconscious and that sleeping can be approached as a kind of spiritual practice. He describes our fear of the unconscious and our innate need to expand consciousness. Dr. Naiman will be a keynote speaker at the upcoming Tucson conference for the International Association for the Study of Dreams. BIO: Rubin Naiman, PhD, is a psychologist, sleep and dream specialist and clinical assistant professor of medicine at the University of Arizona’s Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine. Dr. Naiman is a pioneer in the development of integrative approaches to sleep and dream disorders, integrating conventional sleep science with depth psychological and transpersonal perspectives. He founded and directed sleep programs at Canyon Ranch and Miraval Health Resorts. He is also the director of NewMoon Sleep, LLC, an organization that offers a range of sleep and dream related services, trainings and consultation internationally. Dr. Naiman maintains a global telehealth practice and has worked with a diverse clientele including Fortune 500 CEOs, professional athletes, statesmen and entertainers. He is the author of several groundbreaking works on sleep and dreams including consumer books, audiobooks and articles as well as medical book chapters and papers. Dr. Naiman’s primary interest is the field of consciousness, which includes the flow of sleep, dreams and waking. He believes that these states can be best understood in context, that is, in relationship to one another. Dr Naiman has long been concerned about evidence suggesting that we are at least as dream deprived as we are sleep deprived. This silent epidemic of dream loss is symptomatic of our culture’s devaluation of dreaming, which stems in large part from a mistrust of the unconscious. He sees cultivating a relationship with the dream world as a personal spiritual practice that has positive transpersonal ramifications.

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. 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.

Near death experiences (NDEs) provide evidence that consciousness exists outside of the body. We speak today with scientist, lucid dreamer and instigator in-chief at the International Association for the Study of Dreams, Robert J. Hoss. Bob shares evidence from his study of over 4000 published NDEs suggesting near universal experiences around death independent of religious or cultural background. Bob then relates his own lucid near death experience which was one of the factors that woke up in him his abiding interest in dreaming. We then talk about Bob&#8217;s research into the psychological effect of color in both waking life and in dreams. Color often contains concealed emotions in dreams. Bob describes his research with over 4000 dreams from one subject tracking their emotional life with color in dreams. Check out Bob&#8217;s free Color Questionnaire at DreamScience.org We take a call from Lucille from Cambria who wonders if she only dreams in black and white. Bob quotes studies that suggest we all dream in color and says we can learn to pay attention to the colors that are there. Bob and Katherine talk about what they are most looking forward to about the July Tucson IASD conference. BIO: Robert Hoss, MS is an IASD Director, past President and Conference Director, directs the Dream Science Foundation for research grants and is a Haden Institute faculty instructor.

We speak about nightmares and the nervous system using an approach combining polyvagal theory and embodied experiential approaches including Gendlin&#8217;s practice of Focusing. She argues that learning to find a sense of safety is not just necessary for treatment to proceed but that the sense of safety is the treatment itself. Dr. Ellis also speaks about her work on teaching clinicians to welcome their clients&#8217; dreams in therapy including why clinicians are so intimidated by dreams. These simple techniques can also be used when sharing dreams with friends and partners. Such dream-sharing has been shown to increase a sense of intimacy and trust in the relationship. We end with Leslie helping me to unpack my dream of being a zombie in a compound and seeing a dancing half-mechanical elephant. BIO: Dr. Leslie Ellis is a leading expert in embodied experiential approaches to working with dreams and nightmares. She is author of &#8216;A Clinician&#8217;s Guide to Dream Therapy&#8217; and offers a range of online and zoom classes for professionals wanting to deepen their skills in working with client dreams. She has written numerous book chapters and articles on dreams and focusing-oriented therapy, which is a gentle, yet profound way of inquiring into the body. She is currently vice president of the International Association for the Study of Dreams.
