The Dream Hub Podcast is back with a brand-new season! And to open, Melissa is joined once again by bestselling author, lucid dream teacher, and psychologist Athena Laz — whose work has inspired dreamers around the globe through The Alchemy of Your Dreams, Women Who Dance in the Dark, and the Sisterhood of Seers Oracle Deck.

In this episode, Melissa and Athena explore the Medial Archetype — a powerful inner guide that bridges the waking and dreaming worlds, the seen and unseen. Athena shares insights from her upcoming book, stories of her own dreams, and how this archetype can appear as messengers, guides, or symbols in our dreamscapes.

Together they discuss:

Who the Medial Archetype is and why it matters

How this archetype shows up in both personal and collective dreams

Ways to work with it during life transitions and liminal spaces

The importance of play, lightness, and not getting rigid in dreamwork

Practical tips for recognising symbols in waking life and weaving them back into dream practice

This is a rich, soulful conversation about how dreams connect us to psyche, spirit, and the collective.
