This week on The Less Stressed Life, JM DeBord joins me to talk about decoding dreams, what they really mean, why they matter, and how they can guide us toward more awareness in our waking life. We dig into why violent or embarrassing dreams are not what they seem, why exes keep showing up, what it means when you smell things in dreams, and how dream journaling can be the “eighth habit” of highly effective people.

If you have ever woken up from a dream wondering “what the heck was that,” this conversation will help you understand the patterns, symbols, and stories your night brain is trying to tell you.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Dreams are stories told in symbols, not literal predictions
• Violent dreams often point to boundaries or inner conflict, not hidden violence
• Ex dreams usually highlight patterns or feelings in current relationships
• Smells in dreams can reinforce the message of the story such as flowers, sewage, or food
• Journaling dreams improves recall and helps you recognize repeating themes
