What would you do if you dreamed about someone you'd never met — and then God made the introduction?
In January 2022, I had a dream about recording a podcast with prophet and dream interpreter Doug Addison. There were technical difficulties in the dream, but I noted that the joy and revelation outweighed the attack. Months later, that dream became a real conversation — technical difficulties and all. What followed was a mentorship that changed the way I interpret dreams forever.
On January 26, 2026, Doug went home to be with Jesus. By 2012 alone, he had documented interpreting over 25,000 dreams. Only God knows the true number over a lifetime of that kind of faithfulness.
In this tribute episode, I'm sharing two stories from our original conversation — including a seven-year recurring nightmare that turned out to be destiny knocking — and two principles from Doug's Dream Crash Course that I still carry into every interpretation today: why context changes everything, and why dream interpretation is better caught than taught.
This one is personal. And I believe it's prophetic for you too.
