Founder of the Radical Resistance Institute, our guest today is Victor Lee Lewis. He brings a unique, socially progressive vision to the work of personal growth, personal empowerment, and emotional health. An early advocate of Jeremey Taylor, he is also profoundly influenced by his dreams. Victor starts by telling how a dream he had in the early 1980s woke him up to the need to radically remake his life. He sees dreams as a realm of oneness and says that dream groups are an ideal forum for bringing people together. We talk about about the idea of imaginal cells and also about how neuro-divergent people have the kind of “out of the box” thinking that we are in need of right now.

After the break, we take call from Jenny from Santa Cruz in which she shares a dream that a friend sent her which highlights spiritual vs political action. Max asks Victor what to say to young people who are neuro divergent. We also take a call from Ray from Santa Cruz who has some further reflections on Jenny’s dream. Victor ends by talking about his passion for human liberation.

Can doing your personal dreamwork really improve the world? In this popular replay, our guest, Christian Gerike, believes that the more people pay attention to their dreams, the better they will be, and thus the better the world will be. Christian considers himself a dream generalist and is committed to spreading enthusiasm for dreamwork. He argues that working with your dreams helps you learn to look beneath appearances in the world both dreaming and awake. He shares a dream of his in which a mouse needs his help because it is wrapped up in an electronic cord. Throughout this episode, we cover a wide range of important dream fundamentals including the value of dream groups and the “if it were my dream” approach, dream puns, animals in dreams, associations, amplification, and archetypes as well as manifest vs latent content.

After the break we take a call from Cynthia from Sebastopol, CA who shares a dream about being kidnapped and taken to a retreat center which she discovers relates to her recent job loss. Christian then recommends Freud’s book, On Dreams, written for the lay audience, and he talks about how we here in the global West could learn from the many cultures that find much more value in dreaming than we do. He ends by argues that paying attention to your dreams can enhance your natural intuition.

BIO: Christian Gerike writes and teaches in the field of dream studies. He taught dream psychology for several years at Sonoma State University. Recent publications in the IASD DreamTime magazine discuss dream circles and metaphors. In June he co-presented a workshop at the IASD conference in the Netherlands. This fall he will teach dreamwork at Marin College.

Do we have soul mates? Are there people in our lives today who we​ know from previous lives? Our guest today is lucid coach, Chris Cunniffe, and he describes his story. Chris starts by defining what he calls counterparts which are people we know from waking life who may be simultaneous incarnations of ourselves. He lists dream features to look for that suggest that the person you are dreaming about might be a soul counterpart. We talk about the idea that to the soul, time is an illusion and also have a discussion of what to do with this information.

This show is about YOU!! No guests, just callers. What have you been dreaming about? What are your hopes for this coming year? This the first All Caller show in three years, and we take calls from four people, and together look for treasures in their dreams.

Charlene from the CA Bay Area started us off with a dream about stepping away from a man who put his arm around her waist. This ultimately reminded her of her childhood experiences of a ghost on the Connecticut farm where she grew up. The second caller was from Elizabeth from Bellingham WA who shares that her brother has recently died. She shares a dream where she worries if others will have time for her but feels great connection to the ground while walking in her delicate shoes.

After the break, Jennifer from Santa Cruz starts a conversation about dreams about society like Carl Jung’s dreams foreshadowing World War II. We also talk about the upcoming October regional conference in Santa Cruz at the Museum of Art and History and the June international conference which will be all-online (find out more and register at IASDconferences.org/2025/). Finally, at the last minute, Ray from Santa Cruz calls talking about his on-going quest to learn how to find guidance in his dreams.

Steven E Popp is an avid dream enthusiast, dedicated to his inner world. Since he is also a gardener and a semi-retired horticulturist, perhaps it’s inevitable that he is especially sensitive to the landscapes of his dreams, something most of us ignore. We talk about his sand table creations which he calls Dreamscapes (photos below). Plus we get into his Tibetan Dream yoga practice and meditation. After the break, we talk about lucid dreaming with Max, and then Steve tells us about his earliest dreams, some of which seem to date from before birth. Near the end of the show we take a call from Diane of Santa Cruz who also describes a dream that seems to date from before birth as well.

BIO: Steven E. Popp is a horticulturist and the owner of Green Tiger Garden nursery on the California Central Coast and co-host of the popular In the Garden show which precedes the dream journal on KSQD. He is a practicing Buddhist, a Tibetan dream yogi, and a lucid dreamer. He creates fantastical sand sculptures based on his dreams, calling them ‘Dreamed of Landscapes” or “Dreamscapes.”

Our guest is author and lucid dreaming expert Dr. Clare Johnson. We talk about her new book The Elixir of Sleep, a deep dive into how to make the most of your nighttime voyages. We start by talking about the different kinds of sleepers and what keeps people from getting a good night’s sleep. Clare then offers many ways to encourage sleep including the magic of sound, deep belly breaths, yoga in bed, and using the time to incubate a dream or encourage lucidity. We also talk about dream guides, the hypnagogic stage of sleep, yoga nidra, and dreams and sexuality.

After the break, we take two questions from social media and one emailed dream. The first question was from Shamanth from India about the awareness behind the dream. The second question was from  Svenja about their experiences with auming  in lucid dreams. Finally, we talked about a dream from Dori about a portal in the ocean.

BIO: Dr. Clare Johnson is a global lucidity teacher and a pioneer in the field. She was the first person in the world to earn a PhD in Lucid Dreaming as a creative tool.

Our guest today is Lisa Rigge, IASD regional rep for the Bay Area and also Haden Institute graduate. We talk about collaging and also about IASD vs Haden dreamwork approaches. We start with ideas around collaging to find meaning from our dreams and in particular, the idea of using negative space. Lisa brings an intuitive and contemplative approach to collaging and also to our next topic: dream groups. We discuss some of the differences between how Jeremey Taylor and Bob Haden approach projective dream groups. The Haden approach emphasizes the idea of a safe container, personal boundaries, and privacy for the dreamer.

After the break, we take a call from Lisa from Boston who starts a conversation about archetypes, anima/animus, and shadow. Also a graduate of the Haden Institute, Lisa from Boston talks about the idea of spiritual direction which she prefers to call spiritual companioning. We end with ideas from Lisa Rigge about poetry created out of dreams and also about the idea of a death haiku.

BIO: Lisa Rigge has been involved with dream work for over 20 years. She received a Certificate in Dream Leadership from the Haden Institute and is an IASD Regional Rep for the Bay Area. She loves teaching about dreamwork and using collage and poetry to express a dream’s essence and to gain new insights.

Nightmares! We all have them, and some of us have more than a few. Are nightmares caused by trauma? How can we work past our nightmares and start to look forward to sleeping again? Our guest today is trauma specialist, Linda Schiller. She defines nightmares by the feeling tone in the dream and whether the dream situation improves or gets worse. We talk about the idea that we might not ever know the source of our nightmares especially if they were caused by trauma before we developed language including birth trauma and pre-birth trauma. She talks about the importance of creating a sense of safety in the dreamer, and then we spend the rest of the show talking about what you can do about nightmares before they happen, while they are happening, and after they happen.

Linda will be offering a 3-hour zoom workshop Sunday January 12, 2025 from 1 to 4 pm ES through Haden Institute called “Understanding and Healing Nightmares Through Active Dreamwork.” You can register at the following link: Dwcooperative.com/services-6-1.

He says, if we are tuned in and paying attention, difficult times can help us find meaning and shares stories about how the pandemic empowered people to better themselves. He describes meditation as stilling the mind and opening the heart and tells about his own story of how an alcohol problem led him to exactly the teacher he needed at the time. Forrest shares some of the powerful dreams and visions that have guided him through the years. We end with a discussion of “everyday gurus” and how we can find meaning in life by focusing on gratitude.
