Dreams are messengers of insights, prophecies, and creative inspirations, a doorway to discovering more about what lies in the depths of our being. Paying attention to our dreaming life is a way of weaving practice into a full cycle of a day and honoring the states of consciousness that we usually dismiss as not real or unimportant. They are also a way to help us heal.

In this episode of Radiant Rest, Tracee Stanley hosts a fascinating conversation with Athena Laz, an intuitive, dream teacher, psychologist & author of The Alchemy of Your Dreams and The Deliberate Dreamers Journal, about dreaming as a powerful pathway to healing. They discuss:

• The story of how Athena discovered the world of dreams and the power they behold

• Different types of dreaming, including lucid, cognitive, and prophetic dreaming

• How to work with dreams and the symbols that arise in them

• What happens when we don't pay attention to what our dreams are trying to tell us

• The difference between lucid dreaming and astral projection

• The lucid dream that revealed to Tracee where, exactly, she would eventually move to

• Much more, including a visualization practice to connect with the dreaming world
