SERIES 8, Episode 1: Healing Through Dreams: A New Approach to Addiction Recovery

In this conversation, Dr. Lorraine Levy discusses her innovative approach to incorporating dream work into addiction recovery at a rehab clinic in Thailand. Setting up a Dream Club she explains how dreams can provide insights into personal lives, help clients process emotions, and foster better empathy and connections with others. The discussion covers various themes, including the role of dreams in healing, the significance of sharing experiences, and the therapeutic potential of artistic expression especially the drawing and painting of dreams as pictures or mandalas. Dr Levy discusses one client dream which was of a funeral casket becoming a rocket and the obvious second chance interpretation. Dr. Levy emphasizes the importance of creating a safe space for clients to renew a sense of trust and explore their dreams and emotions, ultimately aiding their recovery journey.

Series 7, Episode 9: Dreaming Beyond Death: Near Death Experiences and dreaming

Laura meets leading researcher into Near Death Experiences (NDE's), Dr Nicole Lindsay, to explore the fascinating relationship between near-death experiences and dreaming. The discussion explores how NDEs can transform individuals' perceptions of life and death, their dream experiences, and the psychological after-effects that often accompany such profound experiences when they realise they have come back from death. The conversation takes a twist when both Laura and Nicole talk about their own NDE's and the effect that is having on the podcast due to the odd electromagnetic fields NDE'ers can project: in this case Laura can't use the recording studio's platform video function. Nicole highlights the growing acceptance of NDE research, despite earlier stigmas, and its implications for understanding different aspects of consciousness and spirituality. They discuss how significant events like 9-11can manifest in dreams, the psychological and neurological shifts that occur post-NDE, and the importance of integrating these experiences. The dialogue also touches on the role of meditation in enhancing lucid dreaming and the fascinating phenomenon of merging consciousness in dream states. Overall, the conversation highlights the commonality of NDEs and the growing understanding of these experiences in both scientific and spiritual contexts. takeaways Dr Nicole Lindsay and her research can be found at: https://www.massey.ac.nz/massey/expertise/profile.cfm?stref=405612 [https://www.massey.ac.nz/massey/expertise/profile.cfm?stref=405612] Your dreams are worth inquiring about too!

Series 7, Episode 8: Dreaming like a Lover: The Art of Dream Courtship with Toko Pa

In this conversation, Toko-pa, a celebrated dream worker and author, introduces her unique approach to dream analysis through the 'Courtship Method.' Should you approach your dreams like a lover? This method emphasizes treating dreams as living beings with their own desires, rather than mere symbols to be interpreted. 'What does my dream long for?' asks Toko Pa. She discusses the keys to this method, including presence, curiosity, reflection, and synthesis, and illustrates these concepts with a case study of a dream involving a Catholic church. She also explores the importance of rituals in dream work, the connection between dreams and synchronicity, and the influence of Sufi perspectives on dreaming. The conversation concludes with insights into the evolution of Toko-pa's dream school and her ongoing work in the field of dream analysis. Toko Pa established her own dream school in 2001 based on her union and Sufi background with 100,000 dreamers coming out of her training. She has just released her latest book, The Dreaming Way, which has received the 2025 Nautilus Award for Personal Growth.
