Dreamscapes Podcasts

Since before the times of Homer's Iliad, or even the Epic of Gilgamesh, all manner of media have served as source material for dream imagery, from storytelling around stone-age campfires to modern film and video games. We are all upon the Hero's Journey in this Game called Life, and visions representing this waking struggle may come to us as mythic Quests in our dream-worlds, where we find ourselves braving Dark Forests and slaying Monsters, determined to confront unknown dangers.

From the Heliocentric Revolution of Copernicus to the Awakening of Neo in The Matrix, everyone knows the experience of having their Third Eye suddenly opened to a new way of seeing the world, but not everyone knows this phenomenon has a name. On a personal level, it is often a shocking jolt that leaves us speechless and confused, changing the fundamental underlying assumptions by which we understand who we are or what is happening around us, and allows for new choices never before considered. Sergio Halabi had this experience in a dream, and his awakening revealed the path that brought him here to share this dream with us.

The Journey of a Thousand Miles may begin with a Single Step, but every Intrepid Explorer will need more than mere Bravery and Determination to blaze the Path Less-travelled. Though a New Day dawns upon reaching the Far Horizon, we must also be prepared to tread lightly and proceed with caution, for the Night is Dark and full of Terrors. Big thanks to Serena, fellow content creator, for taking us along with her on this journey into her dreams.

Trauma does not merely wound, it scars. Abuse inflicted in a betrayal of trust, cuts the deepest. In the darkest night, a fresh scab may crack and bleed dreadful thoughts, forcing us to face our fear that escape is impossible, and that no lock is strong enough to hold back the monster.

The Goddess of the Hunt, Guardian of Boundaries, and Protector of Nature, stands tall within the ancient memory of mankind as a deep and abiding reverence for not only environmental conservation, but vital self-preservation. When the Huntress becomes the Hunted, she must run to ground her own troubling past in pursuit of a better future.

Being human grants dreadful self-awareness that we strut and fret our finite hour upon the stage, but also that we have the author's power to write the script and take on the roles of our choosing, informed by watching the countless variety of mortal dramas enacted by those around us. "All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts." - William Shakespeare, Bard of Avon

Coming home again may be a dream come true, or a horrifying nightmare. Perhaps we can't choose our family, but we always have the power to break free from our own troubled past, and decide who we ultimately become. Even the Ties that Bind cannot withstand a razor-sharp will to win true emancipation.

If you had a second chance to make different decisions, if you could turn back time and undo your mistakes or erase the traumatic events that afflicted and shaped you, would you still be the same person you are today? Would you be a better version of yourself, or would you end up being an entirely different person?

With any luck, we are not the same person today that we were yesterday or many years ago. Then again, sometimes we are both someone new and that same former person, or many different people, all at the same time. Only in our dreams may we meet those erstwhile personas face to face, and most importantly, learn why they exist, in their own words.
