Dreams bring us invitations, but so often we miss them. Ignoring repeat images, themes, or scenarios along the way. Or blocking them with our own personal preferences.

For years I dreamed of mountains. Dreams of:

• Driving into the mountains.

• Looking up at the mountains.

• Spending time with mountains.

In other words, mountains were calling me.

The loving support of our ancestors is always with us.

Podcast listener Leslie had a big dream recently. “I knew this dream was a solid message.” The kind that sticks with you for life.

She’s been slowly opening up to her ancestors. Feeling the call strongly as she’s back on the land of some of her ancestors in Colombia.

Dreams are far more magical than we give them credit for. Multifaceted reflections of both the human and spiritual experiences.

If I were to sit down with you right now how would you answer the following question: where do dreams come from?

Would you have an answer or be stumped? Would you tell me that dreams are your brain firing randomly? Or would you tell me that your soul leaves your body to travel to different realms?

This topic is often contested by many. My experience is that people tend to fall into almost dogmatic camps. Digging their heels in the ground and adamant that dreams can only be one thing.

Fall is a great time to focus on dream work.

It’s a seasonal time when:

• The veils between the worlds start to thin as winter draws nearer.

• Daylight shortens and nighttime lengthens.

• And the botanical world around us begins to turn energy and focus inward.

So it’s no surprise that so many people I’ve spoken to in the last two weeks are having more dreams. And vivid ones. It’s literally the season for dreaming.

The next time you have a dream with a snake in it...don't google the meaning. Google yourself.⁠

When I first started exploring my dreams, internet searching was my go-to for meanings. The problem was, the meaning didn't always fit. ⁠

For example, I’d dream about an animal. But when I searched for the meaning online I’d find patchy results. In rare cases, a website's musing on the animal felt spot on. But more often than not, I sat there scratching my head wondering...am I missing something?

I've always been a vivid dreamer. But I didn't always recognize the powerful messages intuition was sending me at night.

As young as age 3-5 I have a memory of one of my first reoccurring dreams. Like a thrilling movie playing on the large screen, for years I dreamt about being dragged and then locked in a prison cell. When I got older and became politically active, I sensed the dream was about being a political prisoner and this puzzled me. What young child dreams over and over again about being a political prisoner?
