If you’ve ever heard me or another dreamworker say, “Pretend I’m an alien,” and then ask you to define the object you dreamt about, that’s because we want to know about your personal symbology.

Read MoreThe Dreamers’ Den Series Ep 28: What We Can Glean from the Foods that Show Up in Our Dreams (with Leilani Navar)
The pizza dreams. The grocery store dreams. The Thanksgiving dinners and wilting vegetable gardens. The empty fridge.

Read MoreThe Dreamers’ Den Series Ep 25: Chakra Colors, Expansive Creativity and a Dream of Tulips (a conversation with Kelly Lydick)
Kelly Lydick first caught my attention with her work on “dream incubation,” which is the practice of setting an intention or asking a question before going to sleep at night. I love dream incubation and turn to it frequently in my ongoing conversation with my own dreams. When Kelly and I planned this interview, though,…
Read MoreThe Dreamers’ Den Series Ep 24: Our Dreams at the End of Life, and Every Night Until Then, Too (a conversation with Mary Jo Heyen)
This one touched me. All these conversations do, but I felt this one extra deeply. Perhaps it’s Mary Jo’s way of speaking – and her way of listening – or the tenderness of hearing about dreams people had when they knew they were close to the end of their lives. Maybe it’s the feeling of…
