Dreams are crazy, but aren’t they also guidance? Our guest, Sandi Madison, helps us find sense in the nonsense of our dreams and argues that the best self-help book we can ever read is our own dream journal! We talk about the importance of keeping and reviewing a dream journal, and Sandi shares some of her recurring themes that show how she has matured over the 38 years she has been journaling. Sandi suggests we try to remember dreams as we wake up by focusing on the feelings we have when we wake up. We also talk about precognitive dreams and the power of snippets. After the break, we talk to Carrie Voorhees who is one of the artists whose work is featured in Sandi’s book, “Diving Before Dawn.” BIO: Sandi Madison shares her intuitive and experiential approach to dream work. Her journey into self-discovery, told through her dream life, is the rich source of material from which was born her book, Diving Before Dawn: A Dream Exploration. Her ardent desire is to help others utilize dreams as inner guidance.

Every night our dreams invite us to enter the mystery that is our soul, and they guide us toward wholeness, purpose, and destiny. Today we talk with Sara Saidy about the power of dream groups which she describes as alchemical containers. She calls dreams love letters from the soul. Sara starts out by defining the imaginal realm and how we access it through dreaming or active imagination. She shares the results of her research showing that dream groups can provide places where people experience not just personal transformation, but also interconnectedness, enhanced empathy, and compassion. She gives some radical suggestions for how to deepen our own dream groups. After the break, we take a call from Sylvia from Ontario who asks about and describes her own experiences of using dreams for physical healing. We take a second call from Martha from Los Angeles who asks about working with recurring dream images. We end with a discussion of how a Jungian approach to dream exploration changes our focus from the plotlines of dreams to the images and characters themselves. BIO: A Jungian dream practitioner, writer, artist, and researcher specializing in transpersonal dream studies. She uses, Art, and Transpersonal Psychology to explore dreams’ transformative potential. Currently training as a Jungian Analyst, she offers global consultations, workshops, and dream groups to help individuals and groups engage meaningfully with the imaginal realm through dreamwork. She lives in Florence, Italy.  Find our guest at: sarasaidy.com, IG: @sarasaidy, SS: SaraSaidy.substack.com, LI: @sara-saidy This show, episode number 334, was recorded during a live broadcast on October 25, 2025 at KSQD.org, community radio of Santa Cruz.

​​AI dream interpretation platforms are getting ever more popular. ​We talk today with Harry de Bont, the developer of AUT-Dream,​ about how best to approach these tools and why his platform is an improvement over Chat GPT. We talk about what he calls the Anthropic Universe Theory (AUT) and argues that the primary purpose of dreams is to comment on what surprises us and then to help us shift our world model to something closer to reality. We also talk about how AI relates to an emerging collective awareness, and he shares some of his hopes for future ways AI might be used to catalyze community. We take two questions from Max. He asks about how AI works which leads into a discussion of pattern recognition and the inevitable biases of AI based on the cultural profile of the data entered into it. Harry ends by encouraging us to try AI dream interpretation but cautions us to always stick up for our intuition when working with our dreams. BIO: Harry de Bont is an Electrical engineer and dream researcher who bridges psychology, physics, and consciousness studies. He developed the Anthropic Universe Theory describing dreaming as the mind’s nightly realignment between body, world, and society. His work explores how emotion and intuition arise from the same patterns of balance that shape both the landscape of our dreams and the physical world. Find our guest at: monadcompany.nl IG: @harrydebont_ YT: @HarrydeBont LI: @/harry-de-bont-9b5217 Here is a link to the class I mentioned on air called Social Justice Dreaming: Intuitive Activism for Challenging Times which teaches you how to apply dreaming and intuitive skills to activist practices which will keep you from descending into despair. Starting Nov 7, there will be three live events as well as online forums and weekly journaling prompts. It is taught by Katrina Dreamer.

Today’s guest composes music to his patient’s dreams, capturing feelings and moods and deepening the psychotherapeutic process. In this replay from two years ago, we meet Dr. Michael Mollura who is a PhD licensed clinical psychologist and also an award-winning music composer for TV and movies. Michael started by scoring music to his own dreams and later found out how valuable the practice was in deepening the healing for his psychotherapy clients. We play a clip of one such piece called Scary Path Dream. Michael describes the process of scoring the piece including using cello to represent the waving branches of the trees. He also describes the effect that listening to this creation had on his client in deepening her process and even bringing up waking life memories that she had forgotten. We take a call from Steven Ernenwein who describes his own experience scoring music for the dreams of guests on his podcast The Dreams that Shape Us. BIO: Dr. Michael Mollura is a licensed clinical psychologist with a PhD from Pacifica Graduate Institute and a Master’s Degree in Performance Studies from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. He composes music to the dream reports of his psychotherapy clients as a way of accessing unconscious material to provide healing pathways on neurological and collective levels. H e has found this to be an innovative way to promote healing and well-being for his clients. The therapy draws a bridge between Dr. Mollura’s work as a professional award-winning music composer and as a clinician.

Our guest has hosted hundreds of patients on ketamine-assisted psychedelic trips and has gone on a few of his own, yet his experience is that dreamwork can be even more profound. In this show, a replay of a popular show from August 2024 Katherine talks to Dr. Darren Jakubec, an emergency-room anesthetist who runs a pain clinic in northern British Columbia. Jake talks about his history with dreaming and inner work and then gives an example of working a dream with a pain clinic patient. He describes his experience with a ketamine clinic which he ran for several years, describing psychedelics as an inner work accelerant which uses much of the same language as dreaming. After the break we take a dream share from Steve Popp, co-host of the “In the Garden” program which precedes the Dream Journal on Saturday mornings on KSQD. The dream features powerful spiritual themes which leads us into Jake giving his analogy about psychedelics vs dreaming which he summarizes as fire hose vs garden hose. We take a second dream from Elizabeth from Bellingham WA of a chaotic car trip with a problematic loved one. Books mentioned during the show: The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk, How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan, and various work by Gabor Mate. He also mentions the Curable app for dealing with chronic pain. BIO: Darren Jakubec, M.D., is trained in family medicine and in anesthesia and lives and practices in northern British Columbia. Darren has been a dreamworker for 12 years and practices dreamwork in his pain clinic, in his ketamine clinic, in the emergency room, and in the hallways and rooms of the hospital where he works.

​How does a near death experience affect your life’s path? Hear one man’s story about ​how death before death can be a spiritual rebirth. So too, in dreams, death can be a gateway to awakening. Our guest ​this week is Nirakara Vani of the ​Philosophical ​Entertainment podcast. It’s another deep dive into the realms of dreaming, ​death, birth, ​and rebirth! After the break, we take a call from Ellen from Santa Cruz who talks about her mother’s experience of almost drowning as a child and about the own “near death” experience while using plant medicine. We also take a question from Max who asks about how experiences of connecting with the field of existence affect a person’s life. BIO: At age 38, following a near-death experience, the ego-identity of Matthew Mansfield dissolved. In its place emerged Nirakara Vani, “the formless voice”—a vessel for Source. Through the Philosophical Entertainment podcast, Vani transmits teachings on ego death, love, and spiritual awakening rooted in lived experience and radical surrender.

Does your dream have only correct interpretation? No! I believe that there are many valuable ways to explore a dream and many layers of meaning. This week the Dream Journal hosts four dream guest experts who offer a range of ways to explore dreams to get you thinking about how to expand your thinking about dreaming. Join me, Katherine Bell, with my guests Linda Mastrangelo, Lauren Schneider, Victoria Rabinowe, and Marilyn Manzi as we take a wide-ranging ramble into the world of the dream. Linda speaks about finding community as a dreamer. Victoria speaks about the value of little dreams about about forming dream groups. Marilyn speaks about befriending our inner monsters both asleep and awake. Lauren tells us about using Tarot cards to find meaning about finding resilience, personally and collectively. Katherine ends the first half by talking about using a treasure hunt approach to dream exploration.  In the second half, we speak more informally about neural circuitry, anxiety dreams, nightmares, and many other topics. We also take a call from Cindy Bishop, a dream artist from San Luis Obispo who mentions our Festival of Dreams keynote speaker Dr. Apela Colorado and her book Woman between the Worlds.

After the break we take a call from Kelley from Santa Cruz who asks about central sleep apnea. Then Rick asks about the Fatima event and Max brings up the issue of the effects of earthly magnetic sources on mental health.

Today we speak with Akinke Lucas about dreaming ourselves whole. We start by talking about Akinke’s travels in Africa and Indonesia, then about how to tell the difference between helpful tricksters and not-so-helpful demons. Akinke describes masculine vs feminine, conscious vs unconscious, mind vs soul, and speaks about how the birth of humanity was through Africa and also about the importance of knowing who we are in this moment. We take a call from Sahlah Dubel of DivinebyDesign.org from Virginia who asks about bringing healing to communities. As she has recently given birth to her second son, she is concerned with the society her children are being born into. Akinke responds with a story about how she deals with her struggles to honor her own problematic lineage. BIO: Akinke (“Ah-kin-kay”) Lucas is a Spiritual Consultant who utilizes her background in Drama Therapy, Somatic healing, social work, and indigenous traditions to guide her in facilitating purposeful healing modalities. She has a Ph.D. (ABD) in Integrative Therapy and Healing Practices from Pacifica Graduate Institute. Akinke also completed a year of ancestral apprenticeship in Africa and Asia, where she furthered her indigenous learning and artistic work.

Can’t see your way through a difficult situation? Try asking all Souls concerned to discuss issues until they understand why things happened, because once the Soul understands, forgiveness takes place. Today we speak with Amy Jo Ellis, founder of the Court of Atonement. Amy Jo describes herself as a reluctant spiritual medium who was thrust into the world of mediumship when her boss was murdered and she found herself seeing visions of what had happened. Amy Jo describes how her mother’s visions helped her develop her Court of Atonement process. After the break, we talk about how to resolve the energy of a nightmare, and Amy Jo takes me (and the listeners) through a CoA process to help me be more accepting of help. We end by talking about to cost of worry and how to move from anxiety to surrender. BIO: Amy Jo Ellis is a spiritual medium who channeled the conflict resolution technique “The Court of Atonement,” which has gained worldwide exposure. She’s with us today because the validity of the process was revealed to her in dreams. Not just her dreams, but also her mother’s.  Find our guest at: CourtofAtonement.com FB: @courtofatonement IG: court_of_atonement X: amyjoellis This show, episode number 325, was recorded during a live broadcast on August 23, 2025 at KSQD.org, community radio of Santa Cruz.

Can dreaming help us integrate psychedelic experiences? How dreams and visions can both take us to the boundaries of consciousness. Today’s guest Adam Miezio talks about how dreams and psychedelics both access the unconscious and that taking powerful psychedelics can be like tilling the soil of consciousness. He describes what he calls divine influx or a cosmic download in which we have insights that seem to be from outside of ourselves and about the pros and cons of setting intentions. Also the hypnagogic state, mysticism, and the collective unconscious. After the break, we take a question from Max about the difference between the subconscious and the unconscious, and we talk about John Lilly who used LSD to communicate with dolphins in the 1970s and developed sensory isolation tanks. We end with Katherine sharing some of her experiences of being high in dreams and Adam recommends the movie Waking Life. Global Psychedelic Week will be an online conference November 3-9. BIO: Adam Miezio is a writer in the psychedelics field, thanks to lifelong psychedelic journeying and plant medicine work. Born in Chicago, he received his master’s degree from Northeastern Illinois University.. He writes about mental health, psychedelics, psychology, shamanism, and fringe ideas on the fuzzy periphery of consciousness. He resides in Oaxaca, Mexico.

Katherine speaks with poet Renzo Del Castillo about building connections and empathy through creation, art, integrity, and love in a replay of a popular show from a year ago. Renzo is the author of the award-winning, best-selling debut poetry book “Still” (available in Kindle version for 99 cents). The poems that make up the book were conceived during a time of many losses including the death of his father. We talk about how we are each made up of pieces of the people we love, and so they still live in us. After the break, Max asks about the idea that we can see things in our dreams that we have never seen before and how that can open us to possibilities in waking life. We talk about how travel, dreaming, and poetry all create empathy and about being immigrants into our own dream worlds. BIO: Renzo Del Castillo is a creative instigator and community builder who bridges gaps and builds empathy through creation, art, integrity, and love. Born in Lima, Peru, he has spent the last 15 years as an executive in the healthcare industry. He currently resides in Miami but prioritizes traveling.

Light, truth, and direct experience. Today we will talk about angel healing with local poet, author, and mystic Jenny D’Angelo. Amidst a shower of poetry, Jenny shares about her history with Dorrie D’Angelo, the Angel Lady of Carmel and about how she hopes to model vibrant elderhood for those around her. She talks about how to tune into the angels around each of us which she describes as our teams of unseen helpers. After the break, we take a call from Ray of Santa Cruz who describes his mom’s experience seeing angels. We end by talking about little yeses and big yeses where a big yes to one thing can look like a no to something else. BIO: Jenny D’Angelo, healer, poet, Angel scribe. She was adopted by Dorie D’Angelo, the Angel Lady of Carmel, in 1983. Jenny is a published poet and international speaker.

Holistic sleep transformation expert Leah Ann Bolen talks about how dreams show us our true desires. Also dream symbolism, recurring themes, and dreams during times of transition or burnout. Leah starts out by talking about her suggestions for getting a better night’s sleep and the role of mindfulness and meditation. She the talks about how she she sees that dreams are a nightly feedback system: they reflect inner shifts, and reveal the self-protective strategies and deeper desires we may not consciously recognize during the day. We can turbo charge the work dreams do by bringing conscious attention them. She tells us that the best self help book we can read is our own dream journal. In the second half, we take three callers. The first is Elizabeth from Bellingham who says she is in a dream drought and asks about whether she should work with current dream nuggets or go back to work with longer but older dreams. Andrea from Hawaii asks about deja vu and synchronicities. Max in the studio talks about his experiences of sleeping in noisy environments. BIO: Leah Ann Bolen is a Certified Dreamwork Practitioner and Integrative Adult Sleep Coach. At Miraval Resort & Spa in Arizona, she serves as the resident Sleep & Dream Specialist, guiding guests through transformative rest and dream experiences. Leah’s approach is to blend ancient dream traditions with practical tools for modern life.

We all know that dreams can galvanize your creativity. Today in this replay of a popular show from almost two years ago, we speak with Donna Glee Williams, PhD, who has published three dream-inspired fantasy novels which seek to reimagine the hero’s journey. Her latest book is called The Night Field. We also play music by Lynn Morgan Rosser. Donna Glee describes her 17 year mentorship with Jeremy Taylor which began as an exploration of an ongoing dream theme of difficulty getting to water. She also speaks of dreams that are gifts for others and shares that she recently wrote a story based on another’s dream. When published it will have the dreamer as co-author. She describes using dreams to inspire creativity by starting with the question, “If you were to do something to honor this dream, what would it be?” She then speaks about how her books embody a new kind of Hero’s Journey more appropriate for a post-patriarchal world than the traditional Joseph Campbell formulation, a new paradigm that gets away from individualism and invites co-heroes. After the break we take a call from John of Santa Cruz who describes research showing that people who play music access different portions of their brain than those who don’t. Our engineer and music-creator Rick adds that music is a high-bandwidth form of transmitting nonverbal information. We then take a call from Lynn Rosser of Asheville of North Carolina who has created music to go with Donna Glee’s new novel. We play part of the piece called Bridges. You can find Lynn at LynnMorganRosser.com and on Spotify and other platforms. Donna Glee suggests that listeners go to ko-fi.com/lynnmorganrosser to support her. We then talking about using fantasy to address real-world issues including addressing problems with pesticides which are portrayed, but never explicitly mentioned, in The Night Field which emerged from her work with the Eco Tipping Points Project which can be found at EcoTippingPoints.org. Donna Glee ends by reading the opening paragraphs from her new novel. BIO: When I first met Jeremy Taylor, I was already a writer but—other than my doctoral dissertation—I’d never written in any long form. During my 17 years of dreamwork with him, I wrote three novels seeded by dreams. His fingerprints are particularly bright on my latest, The Night Field.
