Listen now
Description
Are you captivated by the mysteries of your dreams? Do you wish you could recall and understand your dreams better? If so, you are not alone.  Join me and integrative adult sleep coach and certified dream work practitioner, Leah Ann Bolen, as we delve into how our dreams support us in processing our waking lives and provide hope even for the most restless of sleepers. Leah shares how her dream life started manifesting during her early corporate years. Ambitious and eager to climb the corporate ladder, she faced sleep challenges such as insomnia, sleep paralysis, and night terrors. Unsatisfied with traditional "fortune cookie dream analysis," Leah sought real, deeper understanding of her dreams. She began to notice synchronicities between her dreams and waking life, leading her to study dream work theory and practice under skilled mentors. Leah explains that while people often seek straightforward interpretations of their dreams, the true power lies in the exploration. By examining their dreams with guidance, individuals uncover personal meanings that resonate deeply with their experiences. Leah sees herself as more of a guide, helping people unlock the inner wisdom contained in their dreams. Beyond the metaphysical, Leah emphasizes the importance of nurturing the physical aspect of sleep. Society's wake-centric mindset often leads us to dismiss sleep, despite its critical role in our well-being. Leah talks about how our body's innate mechanisms need proper sleep, free from the influence of pills or supplements. Leah emphasizes the importance of intention and practice in remembering dreams. She suggests keeping a dream journal by your bedside and taking a few moments upon waking to recall and jot down your dreams. This practice signals to your subconscious mind that you value your dream life.
