What belief about the self have you held onto that has created black and white thinking? This dream helps unpack how to dislodge the needlse in our mind. When we have let systems tamper with our true selves we lie to ourselves about who we are. Lying to ourselves about who we are and what we believe creates anxiety and causes distress. This is the last dream in Season One of the Podcast.

In this wonderful episode we hear one nightmare and another recurrent nightmare. These 2 dreams hold hands with each other in several different ways. It is vital to know how to quiet the meanness we can express to ourselves. Without that muscle we can find ourselves, in our dreams, not to BE ourselves at all.  And of course that is scary, terrifying. But our dreams don't show us only what we are doing, they show us what we are missing. Follow along and listen for it.

In this episode we are in the non-verbal space.  Injuries from infancy are portrayed in dreams in spaces with no walls, no edges and no words. Its fascinating because infants have no words and can not experience space. But infants are all feelings and perception and in this dream we are deeply in this place. Our dreamer was adopted and has done a lot of work on his trauma around his abandonment. This dream, now over 20 years old, offers a key to his healing. This key is universal. Please, dear listeners, try on the insights from this dream and the feeling space as well.

In this dream of mishaps and missed connections we pull the gold from the dream. The feelings inside of the dynamic with David Bowie. It's a beautiful feeling,  awe and wonder, even if the timing doesn't feel right. Go with it. That is this dream's message.

In this wonderful episode we hear 2 recurring dreams. One is about Dad and One is about Mom. Their connections are really interesting. How we weave beliefs formed in childhood into a narrative that doesn't serve us today. We have swallowed the whole fish and never dissected what we need to keep and what we need to let go of for our mental well-being.

In this episode, part 2 of Emily's dream work we see how this learned criticism-of-self is harming. The three little bears story is  little Emily's story. There is a differentiation between what kind of Mom Emily is, and what kind of Mom Emily had that comes up from the work. The love of her body and what her body can do has to be restored. The dream asks her to appreciate herself, to not rewind old tapes and give her self permission to be the woman she is exactly.

In this decades old dream we uncover the foundation stone of a lifetime of self recrimination. The dream story brings up generational trauma. If we can sit with our parents' limitations as the structure on which we build as children, we can see our flaws through a new lens.
