Our modern western culture places little to no value on the power of our nightly dreams to inspire, shift, and reorganize our lives. This podcast demands a deep reconsideration of the role our dreams play on our path to a more vital and meaningful life. The following is living proof of the life affirming power of dreams to effect change and redirect the trajectory of our inner and outer lives. These are the dreams that shape us.

    Murder, She Dreamt (Kristen) - S3, Ep8

    Murder, She Dreamt (Kristen) - S3, Ep8

    The first taste of their ability that psychics get is often through their dreams. That's how it was for our special guest, Kristen Kadi, but she got more than bargained for when she used her ability to try to track down a murderer. In this episode she shares her hair raising stories and personal insights.

    The Burning Man and the Warrior's Way Home (Lawrence) - S3, Ep7

    The Burning Man and the Warrior's Way Home (Lawrence) - S3, Ep7

    Lawrence reflects on the trauma and PTSD he endured throughout his life and at war and the way his dreams have aided him every step of the way!

    His story is so full, so harrowing, and so redeeming. He shows that a vet doesn't return home when their feet touch US soil once more, but when they accept the Warrior's destiny and then find their way back to their soul.

    The Reclamation of the Magical Self (Kris) - S3, Ep6

    The Reclamation of the Magical Self (Kris) - S3, Ep6

    As Mary Jo Heyen said in an earlier episode, "we don't get to do this a la carte, if I'm frozen to my pain, I'm also frozen to my joy." In this episode, our guest, Kris, experiences what being cut off from both does to the heart and soul. But, providence is afoot and goes to work on her through dreams and through a 3 year life experience living with indigenous Huichol families in Mexico - where she engaged in their ceremonies and took plant medicine. These experiences deeply shaped her and welcomed her back into the heart and recapture her magical self❤️

    The Robed Woman and the Unusual Motherhood Journey (Tzivia) - S3, Ep4

    The Robed Woman and the Unusual Motherhood Journey (Tzivia) - S3, Ep4

    Following on the heels of mother's day, we celebrate mother's in sharing Tzivia's very heartfelt, and at times heart wrenching, story of motherhood! Tzivia actually had no intention of becoming a mother, but life had other plans for her life and we get to see how her dreams held this for her and aided her every step of the way. It's a beautiful ode to Parenthood and the little critters who crack our hearts open in ways and depths we never knew we could love another human. You'll get to hear some dreams that have aided me in fatherhood, as well🙏 Lots of heart in this one, we hope you will give it a listen and share it with your mom 😄

    A Sermon to the Divine Beloved (Greg) - S3, Ep3

    A Sermon to the Divine Beloved (Greg) - S3, Ep3

    It's Oct 2020, thick in the pandemic, Greg is feeling lost for many reasons. Then his dreams come to his aid and point him in a direction and calls him to bring into the world the very thing he's been aching for.



    Studying Jungian thought, he's been dissatisfied with the rhetoric surrounding queerness. He has since begun discovering myths and ways to explore queerness through the Jungian lens that actually affirms and upholds the queer psyche.

Vulnerable, insightful magic

I’m new to dream work, and this show has become one of my go-to’s to learn about all the various ways in which our subconsciouses are talking to us, and how to turn that dialogue into a conversation! Steve is such a calming presence, and a talented interviewer. I love the wide variety of topics and people that are a part of this show. Keep it up!

Great work

Very thankful for this podcast. The interview with Dr. Sparrow was probably the best I’ve ever heard on lucid dreaming as a spiritual practice. A real treasure. I hope you can have him back someday for an encore!
