The Dreams That Shape Us

Host Steve shares his story around running away and hiding from his calling, music. You get to hear all about his creative process, how it's become so entwined with his dreams, how to cultivate a relationship with your inner muse through dreams and waking relational experiences, and how creating art from dreams can be a powerful act of soul retrieval! This is an old recording of Steve being interviewed by the wonderful Melissa Johnson for her podcast, The Dream Hub. Please check out her podcast if you haven't before!

Chelsea Turpening Coxsey knew from a young age that her dreams were different. They called her to discover a hidden world of meaning and connection through symbols and signs. Instead of running away, she dove headfirst into exploring the world that opened up to her through her dreams. She dared to be a dreamer. Chelsea's website Chelsea's books Owls School of Dreaming

Season 4 continues with a harrowing, but beautiful story of Georgia's grief and loss over her father's sudden passing during her childhood and the very impressive (and unflinching) way her dreams not only companioned and held her, but also challenged her to confront her deep heartache.

Season 3 Finale - Listener Discretion is Advised For almost the last 100 years, people have been reporting dream or dream like experiences of alien encounters and/or abduction experiences. Most of these have been passed off as dreams. Our guest, Fred Zewe, argues that some of these dreams are just "screen memories," fake memories that either our brains concoct or the aliens give us to make the experience seem less traumatizing. So, what do these experiences look like? How do you know it's a screen memory and not simply a psychological dream or vice versa? Why might this be happening? Are they here to help? Can't say we answer these questions with any real certainty - can anyone at the moment? But it's a wild story from a man who has had the experiences himself and investigates them from others. So many people who have had experiences like this tell no one about it and carry it silently because they don't want to look or sound crazy. We treat the topic respectfully, but we do have a bit of fun! We hope you join us for a pretty out of this world story and discussion!

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.

Professor Scott Sparrow knocked on Heaven's Door and it opened for him while he was lucid dreaming. A holy light filled him with indescribable love, and it set him on a course in life to return to that place and continue receiving that Light. Dr. Sparrow, an acclaimed author, professor, and dream guru, says that everyone can be blessed with the experience of receiving the Light. He prescribes simple practices spelled out by the renowned psychic Edgar Cayce and used for centuries by Buddhist masters of Dream Yoga. Hint: It involves a lot of meditation. It leads to experiences that were once known to only a relatively few devotees with the guidance from Masters and the discipline of mind and body to break through the barriers that prevent us from seeing and knowing that the Light of Heaven is behind everything in the material and mental worlds. Everything is the Light, but it's something you have to find out for yourself, through your experience. Dr. Sparrow tells us how.
