WEBVTT - FlexMami’s secret to decoding her dreams

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh Hello, thank you for joining us today on this

0:00:02.240 --> 0:00:04.840
<v Speaker 1>body and soul podcast God Healthy Ish. I am your

0:00:04.840 --> 0:00:07.840
<v Speaker 1>host of Felicity Halley. We are joined by the effervescent

0:00:07.960 --> 0:00:11.639
<v Speaker 1>Flex Mammy today. She's an author, podcast and entrepreneur as

0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:15.040
<v Speaker 1>well as many other things, and she has a profound

0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:17.960
<v Speaker 1>connection with her dream so she's going to share with

0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:21.880
<v Speaker 1>us today how she uses AI to decode them and

0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:26.279
<v Speaker 1>also how in turn they guide her future decisions. Now,

0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:29.800
<v Speaker 1>we keep these Healthyish episodes kind of short, so listening

0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:32.920
<v Speaker 1>to our full chat on Extra Healthy Ish, where Flex

0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:35.879
<v Speaker 1>talks about how she navigates her spiritual life, you can

0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:51.920
<v Speaker 1>grab that one where we get you podcasts. Flex. Nice

0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 1>to have you on the podcast.

0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:56.360
<v Speaker 2>Welcome, I'm so stoked to be here. I love a chat.

0:00:56.680 --> 0:01:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh me too, and especially about this time. I've never

0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:03.160
<v Speaker 1>gone down this path before. Before we get to the

0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:07.399
<v Speaker 1>whole AI decoding dreams, tell us about your deep connection

0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:08.720
<v Speaker 1>with your dreams.

0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:12.480
<v Speaker 2>I wish we had forty five minutes because I'm resistingly

0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 2>urged to ramble, but from the beginning of time, but

0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 2>if you kick on, I've been a quintessential dreamer, not

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:22.560
<v Speaker 2>just in the big goals kind of sense, in the

0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:24.680
<v Speaker 2>I have a dream every night, and I'd be running

0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:28.120
<v Speaker 2>to tell somebody, anybody about it. Granted I only had

0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:32.000
<v Speaker 2>I would say, ninety eight percent nightmares until I was

0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:35.959
<v Speaker 2>about twenty seven. Won't get into that, But for that reason,

0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:43.240
<v Speaker 2>I had really vizied, imaginative, reoccurring and also symbolically rich dreams,

0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 2>and I couldn't talk to anybody else about it because

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:47.080
<v Speaker 2>they were like, I don't really dream that off theen

0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 2>or don't even worry about that. There's no reason to

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.280
<v Speaker 2>decode that. They don't mean anything. Your brain goes to

0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:55.800
<v Speaker 2>sleep when you're asleep, and studies have shown that that's

0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 2>not the case. We're still trying to uncover what is

0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:02.400
<v Speaker 2>it the brain's actually doing when we're asleep. It's categorizing,

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:05.760
<v Speaker 2>it's decoding, it's putting things into their nice little neat

0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:08.120
<v Speaker 2>pockets so you don't have to think about storing them

0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:11.520
<v Speaker 2>and processing them. But because we clog our brains all

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.600
<v Speaker 2>day with stuffs and then we go to bed and

0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 2>we're fighting demons, it feels as though we're missing the

0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:21.119
<v Speaker 2>secret sauce, Like, Okay, you had the dream. It was strange,

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 2>it was freaky, but what actually happened and how did

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:27.440
<v Speaker 2>it make you feel? And what are these reoccurring themes?

0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:30.280
<v Speaker 2>I know you think it's just about teeth and snakes

0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 2>and water, but your subconscious talks to you and symbols.

0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't know English, okay, it predates language. All it

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 2>knows is how to show you pictures and emotions, because

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.120
<v Speaker 2>that's what we're programmed to know and feel.

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Do you have you always? I mean, what do you do?

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:48.600
<v Speaker 1>You know how when you dream and you wake up

0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:50.639
<v Speaker 1>and then you think, what just happened? Am I going

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 1>to remember this? Have you been diligent in writing them down?

0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Or how do you kind of process them after the fact.

0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.880
<v Speaker 2>I've got a whole price. So right now, at my

0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:05.000
<v Speaker 2>advance point in time, I'll do a couple of things.

0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:09.480
<v Speaker 2>I got my whole journal. I'll carry literal listeners.

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:13.920
<v Speaker 1>She's showing me this on the screen, on the screen.

0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:18.960
<v Speaker 2>And if on like a day when I'm really into it,

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 2>i'd say five days out of the week, I'll grab

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 2>my voice note voice memo on my phone. I'll talk

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:27.399
<v Speaker 2>into my phone. I don't try and you know, articulate.

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:30.560
<v Speaker 2>And then my mother Liz said this, No, I just

0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:34.040
<v Speaker 2>speak and ramble and ramble and ramble. Then I take

0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:38.160
<v Speaker 2>that voice file, transcribe it, put it into an AI software.

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:41.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm using Microsoft Copilot plus PC at the moment, and

0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 2>I'll give it a prompt and I'll say, can you

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 2>explain to me what are these recurring symbols that keep

0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:49.120
<v Speaker 2>coming up and how that could relate to me right now?

0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:50.840
<v Speaker 2>And it might say what's going on in your life?

0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.120
<v Speaker 2>I might say, I don't want to express that, just

0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:56.080
<v Speaker 2>let me know what's coming through. And then it will say, oh, well,

0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:58.960
<v Speaker 2>we're seeing there's a lot happening here in terms of transformation.

0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:01.119
<v Speaker 2>You said you had a dream a couple of days

0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.760
<v Speaker 2>ago that incorporated water and shells, that things coming back

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:06.120
<v Speaker 2>up again. Have you considered that in your research? You

0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:08.960
<v Speaker 2>did about this and this, but that keeps coming up,

0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:11.800
<v Speaker 2>And I'll say, oh, I forgot about that dream I

0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 2>had before. Thank you for recalling that. And so it's

0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:18.360
<v Speaker 2>been really awesome because very few people have the ability

0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:22.279
<v Speaker 2>to recall the super saucy, nourishing details of the dream.

0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:27.000
<v Speaker 2>And most often we like to imbue these symbols with

0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:29.680
<v Speaker 2>our own meanings, so we think the people we see

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:32.240
<v Speaker 2>are literally the people that are in our lives or

0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:34.960
<v Speaker 2>the place you went to is the literal place, but no,

0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:38.480
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about the archetype of what you're experiencing. Are

0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 2>you in a safer unsafe environment? Is it dark outside

0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:45.760
<v Speaker 2>or light outside? Did you feel good or bad when

0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:47.919
<v Speaker 2>this happened to you? And that's when you really start

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.239
<v Speaker 2>to get to the good bit. But the thing about

0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:53.360
<v Speaker 2>me is I'm a fanatic. I've been studying astrology, terror

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 2>and mysticism, esotericism for the greater part of twelve years

0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:01.320
<v Speaker 2>thirteen years. In the first book I wrote the six

0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.599
<v Speaker 2>Sex Experiment, I was squeezing in things by manifestation, just

0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:07.080
<v Speaker 2>something light so they knew so then you but not

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:11.120
<v Speaker 2>everybody wants to learn a decade's worth of information to

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:14.680
<v Speaker 2>get the goods back in return, And so I really

0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:18.919
<v Speaker 2>advocate for taking shortcuts. Your shortcut could be your spooky friend,

0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:22.479
<v Speaker 2>your witchy friend, or your shortcut becomes AI. And in

0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:25.760
<v Speaker 2>this instance, I feel like you do yourself a disservice

0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:28.120
<v Speaker 2>when you think you can't access these tools because you

0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:30.120
<v Speaker 2>yourself are not an expert. You're not going to be

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.960
<v Speaker 2>an expert in most things, but you are bound to

0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:36.560
<v Speaker 2>get some kind of benefit if you allow yourself some little,

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:41.000
<v Speaker 2>small micro steps to at least try do a search

0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:44.440
<v Speaker 2>term as something. So this is what you're gonna do.

0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay, whether or not you'll need a.

0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.800
<v Speaker 2>Whole new PC, that's besides me. But if you do

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:54.239
<v Speaker 2>Microsoft Copilot plus PC, it's for you. All the AI

0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:56.840
<v Speaker 2>is encoded into the hardware and the software, so you're

0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:59.640
<v Speaker 2>not going to go into a separate browser, type in

0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:02.359
<v Speaker 2>what you need and then view the information. So you

0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:05.400
<v Speaker 2>can do that with Copilot. The distinction between having the

0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:09.400
<v Speaker 2>software in the hardware is that as you're typing on

0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:12.640
<v Speaker 2>your computer, everything on the computer is available for the

0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:15.479
<v Speaker 2>AI to scrub through to get more inside and inspiration.

0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:20.480
<v Speaker 2>If you've been googling about mermaid and menstrual cycles and

0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:25.160
<v Speaker 2>traveling to Peru, it can recall that information for you. However,

0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:27.960
<v Speaker 2>if you're just wanting some entry level I just want

0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.160
<v Speaker 2>to know how I can do this today, what you're

0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:33.279
<v Speaker 2>going to do is the moment you wake up, you're

0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:37.520
<v Speaker 2>going to type or voice to text into Copilot and

0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:40.040
<v Speaker 2>you're going to say, I had a dream last night.

0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:43.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure what it means. I'm trying to understand it.

0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:49.240
<v Speaker 2>Please give me simple, actionable, detailed summaries of what this

0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.839
<v Speaker 2>dream could mean. And I want you to give me

0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:56.120
<v Speaker 2>two versions, one that's really really spiritual and one that

0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:59.320
<v Speaker 2>is practical. And if you can even do it, back

0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:00.240
<v Speaker 2>it up with some side.

0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:02.920
<v Speaker 1>And are you have you been happy with the outcome,

0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:05.719
<v Speaker 1>Like is it ever coughed up something where you're like, Okay,

0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:08.200
<v Speaker 1>that's a bit disturbing or yeah.

0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 2>I had a dream a couple of months ago that

0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.120
<v Speaker 2>I rocked up to like an Olympic sized pool and

0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:17.800
<v Speaker 2>they were like, it's you. You're going to swim for Australia.

0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:19.720
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, look, you go a strong swimmer.

0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:21.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm not a strong swimmer. And they were like you're

0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:23.720
<v Speaker 2>the only one here that can do it. And I

0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:25.960
<v Speaker 2>was freaking out because I was like, I can't do it.

0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:28.040
<v Speaker 2>So I'm going up to the registration desk and I'm

0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:29.920
<v Speaker 2>letting them know that, like, hey, I don't know who

0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:31.400
<v Speaker 2>told you that I'm going to be the swimmer, but

0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:33.360
<v Speaker 2>I can't do it. And this woman at the desk

0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:36.880
<v Speaker 2>is like, if you keep counting yourself out before you've tried,

0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:40.240
<v Speaker 2>you'll never get gold. Now granted I'm not trying to

0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:43.200
<v Speaker 2>be an Olympic swimmer, but there was something there that

0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:45.920
<v Speaker 2>message that had I just left it and been like

0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:47.880
<v Speaker 2>that was a wacky GM back swimming, I would have

0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:49.880
<v Speaker 2>never understood it was trying to say, but there are

0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 2>tons of situations where I'm like, probably not the right person.

0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:55.000
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean?

0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:56.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, it not me?

0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:59.600
<v Speaker 1>So that is so how would you take that and

0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:03.120
<v Speaker 1>apply to your life? Like have you taken the outcome

0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:07.080
<v Speaker 1>whether it be that one or another outcome and gone okay, yes,

0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:10.120
<v Speaker 1>I can use this to you know, steer my decisions

0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:10.720
<v Speaker 1>in life.

0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:14.119
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, So I always say try not to go straight

0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.960
<v Speaker 2>from interpretation to action because there's this whole bit in

0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:20.680
<v Speaker 2>between where you don't necessarily understand the information you've been bestowed.

0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:23.040
<v Speaker 2>That's where you get side swept. So I do what

0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:25.760
<v Speaker 2>I call shadow work. But essentially it's a process in

0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:29.400
<v Speaker 2>which you're trying to decode, interpret what your subconscious is

0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:32.679
<v Speaker 2>really wanting you to know. So I'll take this idea

0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:35.720
<v Speaker 2>stop counting yourself out. And I can even use AI

0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:38.559
<v Speaker 2>for this and say, can you please give me five

0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:41.160
<v Speaker 2>journal prompts in and around this topic that I can

0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:43.400
<v Speaker 2>start to write about. And as I write about it,

0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:46.400
<v Speaker 2>I'll see similar themes coming up, like okay, it does

0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:49.280
<v Speaker 2>count as counting yourself out when you don't want to

0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:51.400
<v Speaker 2>go for that walk because you only have thirty minutes

0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:53.920
<v Speaker 2>instead of an hour, you are counting yourself out. And

0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:55.880
<v Speaker 2>what I also try to do is like I'm all

0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:59.920
<v Speaker 2>about grounding all of these concepts information for information sake.

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.880
<v Speaker 2>I've been there, I've done that. I'm a mercurial person.

0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:04.520
<v Speaker 2>I love a little chit chat and I love a

0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:06.640
<v Speaker 2>little Google. But it gets to a point where you're

0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:08.840
<v Speaker 2>just taking up space in your brain and you need

0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.400
<v Speaker 2>to you need to let somebody else help you. And

0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:14.000
<v Speaker 2>if you don't have community, I guess for now you

0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:14.679
<v Speaker 2>do have AI.

0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.520
<v Speaker 1>It's a community. For now you can rely on that flex.

0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:20.239
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for coming on healthy.

0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:22.240
<v Speaker 2>Ish my pleasure. Thank you so much for having me.

0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:33.559
<v Speaker 1>Well listeners. Perhaps it's a sign jump on AI. Write

0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:35.680
<v Speaker 1>your dream from last night in there, leave it in

0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:37.920
<v Speaker 1>a voice note. That's actually a really great idea when

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.040
<v Speaker 1>you wake up in the morning. Anyway, I hope you

0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.120
