Father’s Day
June is a month we celebrate Father’s Day…and how often we see in dreams male figures that come in many ways…fatherly, manly, frightening, challenging, dismissive and more. When we step into a dream we explore these figures to see what it is they want us to feel…feelings often hidden under the surface story of the dream.
Let Your Dreams Set The Agenda
I’ve often heard folks say that they struggle with some therapeutic processes because they feel like they always have to “start over” or go through all the childhood and family of origin stuff or that the therapy they are doing places a structure or system into the process which they find too prescriptive. When I hear this, I always think about how one of the reasons I love dreamwork so much is that the dream sets the agenda for us!
Your Brain On... Dreams (An Interview With Rodger Kamenetz)
Listen to a podcast interview with Natural Dreamwork Founder Rodger Kamenetz from “The Brain Docs,” Ayesha and Dean Sherzai, neuroscientists and public health advocates.

Soul’s Clear “Yes” And “No” In Our Dreams
Recently I have been learning from my dreams about the clarity with which soul’s desire is felt and expressed. The dream figures I meet speak with simple, immediate responses and invitations. “Yes!” they say when I dare ask for what I desire. And when I try to diminish it, they respond with a strong “No!”
Dreams Of Our Departed
An area our dreams can be helpful is in the area of grief and loss. There are many reasons the departed might show up in our dreams, a reassurance, a message, a deep healing. Our dreams can offer us a renewed relationship with those who have crossed over.
