Over the last six months, I’ve been keeping a dream journal, not to “decode” anything perfectly, but to listen. And what’s surprised me most is how the dream-state speaks in a language that doesn’t make sense until it does: symbols that feel abstract…and then, weeks later, land with uncanny precision in waking life.

My guest today is someone who’s spent decades mapping that invisible terrain, not to make it more mystical, but to make it more usable: as a tool for healing, for creativity, and for self-trust in a world that’s getting louder by the day.

In this episode, we explore why modern life is quietly eroding dream recall, how emotion and symbol work together like an inner therapist, why meditation and nature can sharpen the signal, and how dreaming might be less about “escaping reality” and more about remembering what we are beneath it.

This is a conversation about intuition, balance, and the quiet intelligence that’s been with you every night of your life.

My guest is Theresa Cheung. 

Theresa Cheung is a bestselling author and researcher who has spent over twenty-five years writing about spirituality, dreams, and the paranormal.
