What if life is just a dream we have yet to awaken from (or awaken within)? My returning guest, Cailín Callahan, provides a fascinating explanation of reality as merely a dream state in my latest grief to growth podcast. Our episode covers material from her newest book, Rise (In Lucidity and Master Anxiety). You can purchase Rise at: https://crackedpotpublications.com

Having had out-of-body experiences, Cailín explains how perception, self-talk, and emotional state shape our experience – even influencing supposed exterior events. Like a lucid dream, we can transform suffering into joy and obstacles into opportunities with an awakened level of consciousness.

By becoming "lucid" observers and wresting control from an undisciplined, reactive mind, we can reach equanimity regardless of external conditions. Distress arises from identification with the body, emotions, and rampant thoughts rather than underlying universal awareness.

Delve into the parallels between dreams versus waking life, escaping "wasted suffering," using challenges for growth, and even consciously transitioning between planes of existence. Expand your self-mastery and spiritual perspective with this profound view of life as a malleable dream open to awakened direction.
