Herbs and Dreams

No dream ever means just one thing, and yet our task as awake humans on the other side of dreaming's door is to seek, make, and ultimately weave a meaning that is helpful and soulful into this world. How do we go about figuring out what dreams mean? This episode covers the ever-important AHA! of dreamwork. When we are consulting the Council Table of Life, our bodies inform us of when we are in the presence of truth, resonance and the flow of Spirit.

Many herbalists know Comfrey's other common name Knit Bone... but have we paused to consider what this means on the other-than-physical layers of our being? In this episode we explore 3 different dreams featuring Comfrey to flush out just how deeply this plant knits and reweaves the threads of creation.

Receive teachings and inspiration from wisdom keeper Dr. Deborah Frances Dancing Crow on how to align with the flow of life. Dancing Crow begins by exploring how we are quite a complainy culture... and stresses the importance of giving thanks. She shares a gratitude ceremony involving water and the four directions, counseling us to greet the sun every morming, giving thanks to the rising sun and feeding the spirits. 

Dancing Crow shares her story from 1999 when Spirit suddenly and insistently told her in a visionary state that "in the coming times it is absolutely critical to Dream the Good Dream. No matter how dire things may seem environmentally, politically, socially and personally... it is absolutely important to Dream Beauty."  She shares how the plant hawthorn can help us open our hearts to relationship with Nature and All of Life.

For the world to heal, she says, we MUST connect to our hearts. Nature is the place to practice vulnerability and authenticity. It is the place our hearts will be healed. Any time in the presence of this beloved Earth elder is a precious gift, and this episode is no exception. Enjoy!

The fact that dreams "don't make sense" is often the reason people have grown a habit of forgetting instead of remembering. Most of us are used to a switch that is either on/off, awake/asleep... but dreams are not supposed to make sense to the rational mind. It's not their nature. They are non linear, irrational and multidimensional... all qualities that the waking executive function of the ego consciousness doesn't like. So we learn to forget. 

One of our first tasks as dreamers is to learn to linger at the threshold of the dream door... with one foot in the realm of dream and one in the realm of awake.  In this episode we flush out what Jeremy Taylor meant when he said "no dream comes to tell you what you already know, all dreams break new ground in terms of conscious awareness." 

We explore how in those first few moments of awakening we might retrain our minds to tug the threads ofd reams across the dream door. The job of waking mind is to be "the scribe of dreams" - all we are doing is being in receptive catching mode. Dreams come from... everywhere and everyone else we are OTHER than exactly who we know ourselves to be when we are awake. We are always emerging into somewhere, growing in some direction. Dreams are an INCREDIBLE guide, oracle, arrow to where we are being called next and what it is that we are being called to do. Remember that the symbols in your dream are perfectly tailored, perfectly crafted for you, by you, to help you. The more random a dream symbol the more potentially transformative the symbol may be.

Both paths of herbalism and dreaming, when done intentionally, bring us deeply into connection with the wisdom flowing through our bodies. This shortie explores what I call the 110% Safety Rule, and is rooted in listening to the body's wisdom. The rule goes like this: If you are not 110% sure that a choice you are making is good, safe and healthy then you are to stop: listen to wisdom, research and learn more before proceeding. This is true when we are doing plant identification, considering putting herbs in and on our bodies and more.

Herbalism is 'allying with the plants to bring healing to the people'... but how do we go about building these alliances? In this episode we explore all about approaching the plants just as we would a person we respect - with care, authenticity and a heartfelt desire to connect. We explore how this looks and feels in actual practice, how nature is our teacher in authenticity, how interspecies communication is often atrophied for many of us but that it quite easily turns back on. This is how to begin learning herbalism. Enjoy!

Dreaming always sends us the most important messages our conscious minds need to wake us up to the truth of the universe and our next instructions in a given life stream. But because there are often translation errors between the realm of dreaming and awake, and because most of us weren't taught the importance of turning towards our dreams ... if we don't get the message, dreaming will keep sending the same message until at long last, we do get it. These repeat messages are called recurring dreams. Here we cover why we have them and how we can shift them by unclogging our dream door and making ourselves available for the next whispers from soul and nature. Enjoy!

Dreamweaving is creating your life from what you dream. As the great Carl Jung said "dreams are the facts from which we must proceed." I wholeheartedly agree with this. This short story covers the nitty gritty of how this podcast Herbs and Dreams was seeded 7 years ago by a tiny little dream... one that I knew to take action on and oriented to as the facts from which I was to proceed. This covers the importance of the WEAVING half of dreamweaving - of talking action, taking steps, creating, focusing. Create your life from what you dream!
