The Dream Journal

What does the #metoo movement have to do with the climate crisis? And how can dreams help both? Today meet Marsha Hudson and Norman Brown. We’ll talk about Love and Power and how better emotional versatility can improve relationships and reduce our impact on the planet… and on each other. Our guests start out by saying that women seek love while men seek power. Reconciling these two drives is the work of relationship. They talk about how a modern lack of empathy is the root of both the #metoo movement and the current climate crisis. Marsha shares a dream in which policemen come to the door telling her how to live her life as an example of how dreams reveal subconscious material that is hindering the relationship. They describe the nine basic emotions and the value of naming them highlighting shame and contempt as well as excitement/interest. They finish by talking about their upcoming free class about emotions which starts March 7 in Santa Cruz. CONTACT Dr. Brown or Dr. Hudson at 831-239-4901 to register for the class. BIO: Norman M.

A conversation about psychedelics with holistic facilitator Steve Elfrink of Om Terra Psychedelics. How dreams and psychedelics shift consciousness and help resolve trauma. He describes primary consciousness as the body and the subconscious while secondary consciousness is everyday awareness. Primary consciousness is present all the time, but is deeply accessed through dreaming and psychedelics. Steve recommends what he calls a psycholytic dose to help get out of a loop of unresolved emotions, but he cautions that a psychedelic session is just the beginning of a healing journey. In the second half, Steve shares his own riveting journey with psychedelics and Max asks where one can find psychedelic assistance. Resources mentioned during the show include Robin Carhart-Harris, Peter Levine, Bessel van der Kolk, Third Wave, Psychable. Today marks the fifth anniversary of the Dream Journal!

Dream yoga, dream tarot, and the creative life. How to live and embody the dream as a daily practice which helps with life and with death. Today’s guest is Niki Jaimes, founder of the Rising Wolf Collective. We start by talking about dream yoga as a daily empowerment practice and a kind of self study. She says dreams helped put her in touch with her emotions and bodily sensations and to develop her intuition, She describes a shamanic journey that led her to heal a mysterious shoulder pain. We talk about the paradox that learning to feel safe is the first step in learning to feeling our more unpleasant feelings. We talk about learning to cultivate trust which will help us as we face the ultimate release of death. Niki describes how using Tarot is a way to take your intuition to the gym. We take a call from Ray of Santa Cruz who says that he happened to do a tarot reading just that morning, and we explore some of the meanings that came up for him around his longing to find his path in life.

Guide your dreams with the power of thought and intention. Explore creativity, healing, sex, grief, and the nature of time and space. Today we talk to Lucid Dreaming expert Dr. Clare Johnson. Clare describes an intense dream which spurred her to write her next book which is currently in the editing phase. She says that dreams, lucid or not, demonstrate that we are in partnership with our own subconscious. She tells of lucid dreams in which she questions the nature of dreams, energy, and even of matter. We then get into a conversation about nightmares: what they are for and some ideas about dealing with them in the dream itself or in the waking state. After the break, we take a call from Holmes from New York who tells about a dream where he is with a pastor but can’t hear what he says. The pastor has a spider on his head which looks right at Holmes and gets bigger and bigger. Clare suggests he go back into the dream if he wants to find out what the pastor said. He also tells us he has many sex dreams which Clare says is sometimes related to spiritual awakening. Homes finishes by telling us how a waking life meditation allowed him to let go of his fear of dream whales. We take a second call from John from Santa Cruz about how he often drifts in and out of dreaming and wakefulness. Clare ends by talking about how raising our quality of awareness can improve the consciousness that we take with us when we die.

How to write your story and transform your Tragic into Magic! Our guest today is the inimitable Kelly Sullivan Walden author of ten books. Kelly starts by saying it’s best to write from a place of passion and describes what authority means to her and what it can mean to you.

Kelly goes through the transformative OGLE practice which she explores in her new book, A Crisis Is a Terrible Thing to Waste, and which can be applied to waking life experiences as well as to dreams.

She quotes her mentor. “For every shadow we embrace in ourselves, one less shadow is projected out into the world.” After the break, we do two live demonstrations. Iudita works first with Katherine about a dream in which she can’t tell is she has to pee or not then with Ray of Santa Cruz about a dream in which a car seems to have a mind of its own.
