12
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 3: Welcome from the UK and I'm absolutely thrilled and honored

13
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 3: to be back. George, thank you for having me and

14
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 3: especially if we've just had World Dream Day, I think

15
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 3: you've now gone into the next day, haven't we past midnight?

16
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 3: But it's just been World's Dream Day. So I've been

17
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 3: doing a lot of TV and radio here in the

18
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,919
Speaker 3: UK to try and promote this platform for dream power.

19
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 2: What a fast year, don't you think.

20
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 3: It's just gone like a dream, hasn't it?

21
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: It is?

22
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 3: It is, it really has And that happens. Actually, Actually,

23
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 3: when you get older, sometimes life just feels almost like

24
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 3: a dream, doesn't it. The day slips by, and if

25
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 3: you're having very vivid dreams, you can sometimes wonder, what's

26
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 3: the dream more real?

27
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm here in Saint Louis right now. Is at

28
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: a restaurant earlier and one of the waiters came up

29
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 2: to me and said, George, what's on the shorter night?

30
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 2: I said, I'm talking to a dream expert, Teresa tonight.

31
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 2: And he goes, boy, I wish I would dream. And

32
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 2: I told him. I says, Ben, you dream all the time,

33
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: you just don't remember them. Am I right?

34
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 3: Absolutely? I mean we have at least two thousand dreams

35
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 3: a year. Brain scan show we dream several times a night.

36
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 3: What's happened is just got into the habit of not

37
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 3: recalling them, and that's probably from messaging from earlier in

38
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 3: our lives and we were told dreams don't matter, it's

39
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 3: just a dream. That was definitely a focus when it

40
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 3: came to dreams and sleep research. But I'm delighted to

41
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 3: say that in recent years, particularly the last decade, there's

42
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 3: been a massive shift in our understanding of dreams, lots

43
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 3: more research into it, and a lot of it proving

44
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 3: that dreams a really good sign of well being, emotional, psychological,

45
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 3: physical wellbeing, and a lot of investment in dream research

46
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 3: because especially during the lockdowns and COVID, so many people

47
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 3: were dreaming vividly as a reaction to the problems going

48
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 3: on in the world. That's what dreams try to do.

49
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 3: They try to help us problem solve. And it was

50
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 3: unprecedented global event for dream research because people were going

51
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 3: on social media for the first time and saying, I

52
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 3: had this weird dream. Now it happened. I mean, people

53
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 3: were having very precognitive and vivid dreams. Around nine to eleven,

54
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 3: another event, but social media wasn't quite at the apex

55
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 3: that it is now, and literally people will be waking

56
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 3: up in the morning and telling others their dreams. And

57
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 3: this was unprecedented, and I hate to say it, because

58
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 3: you know, it was a very difficult time. But for

59
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 3: someone like me who's been writing about dreams for decades,

60
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: for twenty five years at least, been championing dream power,

61
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 3: it was a kind of a dream come true because

62
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 3: suddenly people were realizing their inner world, what's within them matters,

63
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 3: consciousness matters, what's going on, what's the meaning. And since then,

64
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 3: really I've just I've had so many wonderful opportunities to

65
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 3: go on mainstream shows. I mean, yesterday I was on ITV.

66
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 3: This morning, I was on BBC Radio and they're talking

67
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 3: to me about dreams in a very mainstream way, and

68
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 3: that's just an absolute joy because what they don't realize

69
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 3: when they're talking about dreams, they're really talking about spirituality,

70
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 3: psychic ability that we all have innate in us. But

71
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 3: the wonderful thing about dreams is they're the door. And

72
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 3: I've found that a lot of people have comfortable talking

73
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 3: about their dreams when maybe when you go to precognition, telepathy,

74
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 3: or these other superpowers we all have, we just don't

75
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 3: realize we have or believe in them, people get a

76
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 3: bit nervous. So I sound that dreams are the door,

77
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 3: the way to open people up to the possibility that

78
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 3: there's so much more to us than meets the eye,

79
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 3: and we are more than our bodies.

80
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 2: Why are some dreams, Teresa, so sensible? They make sense?

81
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 2: And then some others are so whacked out and waite

82
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 2: weird you can't figure out what they are.

83
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 3: Well, every dream is a piece of precious wisdom. Don't

84
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 3: let another dream slip away. Everyone listening, Please, don't let

85
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 3: another dream slip away, whether it's muntane or whacky. Now,

86
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 3: it's often said that more wacky and weird and bizarre

87
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 3: the dream, the more profound the meaning. I mean, you

88
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 3: could compare that to art, you know, when you see

89
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 3: them some art and it really doesn't make sense, but

90
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 3: it's hailed as a great work of art because people

91
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 3: look at that work art and find all these hidden meanings.

92
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 3: So a dream that's really really surreal celebrates it because

93
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 3: you've got a lot of work to do unpacking the

94
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 3: hidden meanings beneath the surface. Now, a dream that's more

95
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 3: mundane is still very very helpful because it's shining the

96
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 3: night light on something in your waking life that perhaps

97
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 3: you haven't paid enough attention to, because your intuition knows

98
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 3: it's important for your personal and spiritual growth, but for

99
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 3: some reason you're either avoiding it, denying it, or simply

100
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 3: haven't noticed it. And the reason you haven't noticed it

101
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 3: is because when we're awake, our ego, our conscious mind,

102
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 3: reason and logic take over, and so any subtile hunches

103
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 3: or gut instincts don't stand a chance. What our heart

104
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 3: wants us to know doesn't really stand a chance. But however,

105
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 3: when you fall asleep, your reason and logic and your

106
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 3: ego fall assleep too along with your body, leaving your intuition,

107
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 3: your creativity, that inner visionary that you are. Because we're

108
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 3: all artists and creators and innovators in our dreams to

109
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 3: be unleashed. And I would love people to no longer

110
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 3: fear that unleashing and to just write down their dreams

111
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 3: when they wake up. Get in a of doing that,

112
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 3: because the more you do that, the more you're going

113
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 3: to trigger more dream recall. Like anything in life, where

114
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 3: your attention goes in the day is what is what

115
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 3: where the reward is, And it's the same if you

116
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 3: think about dreams during the day, listening to this interview

117
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 3: actually may well trigger dream recall the following night because

118
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 3: you've spent some time focusing on dreams, your awareness has

119
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 3: gone to dreams and you're thinking, well, maybe this strange

120
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 3: maybe from the UK has a point. Maybe my dreams,

121
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 3: my inner therapist is trying to tell me something really

122
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 3: important that I'm missing. Maybe my inner creative artist can

123
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 3: help me problems solve and get me out of a

124
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 3: funk that I'm in or a block that I'm experiencing.

125
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe my intuition, when it's unleashed in the dream state,

126
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 3: can make can connections between things I didn't realize were possible.

127
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 3: That's why so many great innovations in the world, from

128
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 3: the speed of light, the theory of relativity, I'm signed

129
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 3: to great literature, works of art, medical and scientific breakthroughs.

130
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 3: Many of them have come in the dream state. When

131
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 3: the scientist, innovator, artists woke up with a dream on

132
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 3: their mind, wrote it down, and that dream triggered connections

133
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 3: that they would not have been able to do in

134
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 3: the waiting state. Dreams can change the world, and they

135
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 3: can also change your lives. And every time someone's life

136
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 3: changed for the better, that changes the world for the better.

137
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 3: In my humble opinion, because we're all interconnected.

138
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 2: Teresa, who is the major scriptwriter of your dream? Are

139
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 2: we doing it to ourselves? It just seems like it's

140
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 2: plotted out.

141
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 3: There are many schools of thought about dream interpretation and honestly,

142
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 3: with my academic background from Cambridge onwards, obviously, I've researched

143
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 3: and fallen in love with each school of dream interpretation.

144
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 3: They all have from mendous value. Where the current thinking is,

145
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 3: the mainstream thinking is with dream is that it is

146
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 3: your own mindset. It's you meeting aspects of your own

147
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 3: personality and looking at your fears, your shadow side, the

148
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 3: part of you you don't want to acknowledge, but also

149
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 3: the part of you that needs to be unlocked, new

150
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 3: potentials you need to discover. You kind of meeting aspects

151
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 3: of yourself in the dream. However, I'm also a spiritual

152
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 3: writer and an author of many many years I've written

153
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 3: about the paranormal. I work with psychic mediums experts in

154
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 3: that field, and I believe there's also a part of

155
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 3: dreams that is indefinable, that sometimes feels like it's being

156
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 3: channeled from somewhere else that can't be forced. It can

157
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 3: sometimes happen. Because the trouble is with dreams, whenever we

158
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 3: try to put a definition on them, they wriggle, they

159
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 3: don't like it. Dreams are elusive, that they are mysterious,

160
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 3: and we're always trying to solve them all the time

161
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 3: and say, well, a dream means that or this is

162
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 3: why we dream. The wonderful thing about dreams is that

163
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 3: they are eternal question mark, and it's in the asking

164
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 3: the questions about our dream life that we actually learn

165
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 3: and grow as human beings rather than sometimes finding the answers.

166
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 3: And yes, the majority of dreams are about ourselves. We're

167
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 3: dreaming ourselves help us understand ourselves better, because self knowledge

168
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 3: is the beginning of all wisdom and growth. But there's

169
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 3: also a part that seems to come from somewhere else.

170
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 3: Call it soul, call its spirit, call it God, whatever

171
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 3: you are comfortable with. So I hope that sort of

172
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 3: answer the question.

173
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 2: Is dream research constantly changing? Are they keeping pace with

174
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 2: science or word? Does it stand?

175
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 3: Yes? I mean there is actually a plury of articles

176
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 3: recently at dream of that, particularly in lucid dreaming. That's

177
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 3: the ability to know you're dreaming when you're dreaming, showing

178
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 3: that it's ability to help heal stress from people suffering

179
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 3: from PTSD's war veterans. There's there's a study that they

180
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 3: use lucid dreaming techniques to kind of rescript their nightmares

181
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 3: to influence the nightmares to ease stress. So dream research

182
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 3: is working in that area also in terms of psychological

183
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 3: self help and therapy. So yes, dream research is keeping

184
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 3: up with the science of consciousness. And I love that,

185
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 3: and I work with these scientists, have written books with

186
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 3: some of them, collaborate with them, do presentations. I love

187
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 3: that because they welcome me in because I'm not a scientist.

188
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 3: I'm very open about that. Biomer geologiour an expert in

189
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 3: philosophy and mysticism spirituality. But where I've noticed recently, George,

190
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 3: that dream research is going a lot of dream experts

191
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 3: and myself included, are suggesting that every element in a

192
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 3: dream has a precognitive element that you are kind of

193
00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 3: dreaming a potential future. We know the brain is a

194
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 3: predictive organ and that doesn't stop when you're asleep. So

195
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 3: what the brain is doing is looking at your current

196
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 3: waking life and saying to you, well, if you carry

197
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 3: on doing what you're doing, thinking what you're thinking, feeling

198
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 3: what you're thinking, this is the future that you are

199
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 3: heading forward forward. So if you wake up with a

200
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 3: nightmare beaver dream and you don't like what you glimpsed,

201
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 3: your dreaming mind is trying to help you in saying

202
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 3: course correct. All we have is the eternal now. This

203
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 3: is a potential future I've showcased for you, but you

204
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 3: have the power in the now. Change your mindset, because

205
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 3: mindset is everything, not just for dream work, but for life,

206
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 3: because how you think and feel about yourself is what

207
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 3: you attract. Change your mindset, change your daily actions, your

208
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 3: daily rituals in a more optimum direction, because you will

209
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 3: notice then that if your dreams start to shift, your

210
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 3: waking life does. And that's wonderful because what's happening in

211
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 3: the dream state is you're meeting your unconscious what you

212
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 3: unconsciously believe about yourself and your life. And that's a

213
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 3: manifesting rule, isn't it That what you unconsciously believe is

214
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 3: what you attract. However, in waking life, you may be

215
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 3: doing your affirmations, your meditation, and all the right things,

216
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 3: but they're still not attracting the success you want. And

217
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 3: that's because buried in your deep, because dreams are messages

218
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 3: from the deep, there's some limiting beliefs that are stopping

219
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 3: you in your tracks. The dream state offers you a

220
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 3: chance to find out what those blocks are, and then

221
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 3: either through lucid dreaming or the day dreaming state, which

222
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 3: is just as valid a way to dream. You can

223
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 3: rescript that so that deep down you truly believe you

224
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 3: deserve success and abundance and all these wonderful things that

225
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 3: truly are our birthrights, but our fears and anxieties and

226
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 3: limitations that we put on ourselves, and our obsession with

227
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 3: the expectations of others trying to fulfill that in rather

228
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 3: than trying to fulfill our own expectations. The dreaming state

229
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 3: will highlight all that for you and say, get to

230
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 3: work on the deepest, deepest part of yourself. Do that,

231
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 3: and then your waking life is going to start falling

232
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 3: into place.

233
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 2: Now, there are different types of dreams, are there anyone's

234
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 2: more important than the others? I mean, is lucid dreaming

235
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 2: more important than precognitive dreams or are they all about

236
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 2: the same.

237
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 3: So I'm going to say, I mean, I mean, I

238
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 3: love every single dream. I think every single dream is

239
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 3: precious wisdom.

240
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 2: Even a nightmare.

241
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 3: Even a nightmare, it's a transformative gift. And I tell

242
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 3: you why your dreaming mind loves you so much. It

243
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 3: is prepared to go into your past or for very

244
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 3: horrific images to shock you into remembering it. The biggest

245
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 3: problem is the dreaming mind is we wake up, and

246
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 3: our waking consciousness makes us too busy to recall. Your

247
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 3: dreaming mind may well have been sending the message of

248
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 3: that dream several nights or weeks or years beforehand that

249
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 3: because it's so gentle and beautiful. Maybe you were dancing

250
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 3: in a field or walking with animals, you didn't recall it.

251
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 3: So what the dreaming mind is doing is shocking you

252
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 3: into recall because it knows darn well if you dream

253
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 3: of being uried alive, you are going to wake up

254
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 3: and think about what did that dream mean? Much more

255
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 3: so than if you were walking in a field, as

256
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 3: I say, or singing a song in your dream or dancing.

257
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 3: You're more likely to remember what shocks you. And it

258
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 3: does it for tough love. It really does it for

259
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 3: tough love, because it's been trying to send this message

260
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 3: over and over again. That's why you may have had

261
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 3: recurring dreams, and recurring dreams sometimes morph into nightmares if

262
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 3: you haven't learned the lesson, Because as soon as you

263
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 3: learn the lesson of the recurring dream or nightmare, it

264
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 3: will shift to another dream scenario for you to learn from,

265
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 3: because that's what our dreaming mind wants. It knows the

266
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 3: meaning of our life is to learn and grow, so

267
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 3: it's sending us all these pointers about how we can

268
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 3: learn and learn and grow. So our life isn't a loop,

269
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 3: it's a spiral. We're ever spiring upwards. Think of nightmare

270
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 3: is also a bit like a fever. A fever is

271
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 3: actually a good sign that you're trying to get rid

272
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 3: of something toxic that's not helping you. So if you

273
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 3: think of a dreaming mind, oh, this is a good sign.

274
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 3: I'm healing, I'm on the way, I'm letting go. But

275
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 3: I need to find out what this nightmare is alerting

276
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 3: me to.

277
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 2: How many dreams are based on real life events.

278
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 3: Pure of them, I mean all of them. Our dreams

279
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 3: draw inspiration from our waking life. So if you're finding

280
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 3: your dreams rather tedious and repair to look to your

281
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 3: waking life. Mix things up a bit, take a different

282
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 3: route to work, Connect with people that you maybe would

283
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 3: not have connected with before. Experiment with mindsets that maybe

284
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 3: a slightly different to the ones that you've had. Take

285
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 3: a leap of faith every now and again, do things

286
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 3: a little bit different. Read a great novel to the

287
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 3: creative part of you. As I said, when you dream,

288
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 3: you become an artist. You meet the part of yourself,

289
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 3: the latent artist and creative and innovator, and a lot

290
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 3: of us and are waiting and thinking, Oh, I'm not creative.

291
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 3: I can't draw, I can't paint, I can't sing, I

292
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 3: can't be artistic, I'm not good with words, et cetera,

293
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 3: et cetera, all these limiting self believes we put on ourselves.

294
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 3: But you're dreaming, mind throws all up in the air

295
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 3: and says, nonsense. You're born with all of this within you.

296
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 3: Go and discover it and enjoy it.

297
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 2: We're going to interpret dreams next hour with Teresa Chung

298
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 2: and just tell us what's going on. What's the best

299
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 2: technique Teresa to remember your dream?

300
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 3: Oh, there's so many I could do a whole hour

301
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 3: on this. There's so many things. I mean, I'm going

302
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 3: to talk about. You mentioned research there earlier. There is

303
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 3: a wonderful study showing that the vitamins in your diet.

304
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 3: Look for your diet sometimes you know you need to

305
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 3: be vitamins to fire up that part of your brain

306
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 3: because dream will call improves in particular vitamin E six. Also,

307
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 3: when you wake up in the morning, try to wake

308
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 3: up without an alarm, an alarm clock. I know it's necessity,

309
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,959
Speaker 3: necessity sometimes, but it is the enemy of physical, mental,

310
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 3: and emotional health because it shocks you too much into reality.

311
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 3: You need to have that twilight state when you kind

312
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 3: of wake up naturally, if you can do that as

313
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 3: much as possible. And then when you're in bed, linger

314
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 3: in bed a while. I know we're all taught to

315
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,199
Speaker 3: leap up and do a stretch and our affirmations and

316
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 3: all that. Just give it a few minutes, stay still,

317
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 3: keep your eyes closed, and just ask what dreams come

318
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 3: bubbling to the surface. If nothing comes, notice, tune into

319
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 3: your body because often dream memories are hidden in our body.

320
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 3: Because our body is also a predictive organ, it knows

321
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 3: what we're feeling often before we do. And then sit

322
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 3: up and write down I feel or I sense. Just

323
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 3: start writing and you're often find it's almost automatic. Images, thoughts, words,

324
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 3: all of them are relevant when you wake up in

325
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 3: the morning because they're all fragments of the dream. They've

326
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 3: all come from the dream story that you may not

327
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 3: be recording properly, and if you do that morning after

328
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 3: morning for at least two to three weeks, you will

329
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 3: have then your dream voice over to your waking life emerging.

330
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 3: And that's another thing people get hung up on. They

331
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 3: get stuck on one specific dream. Dreams work like a Netflix,

332
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 3: Netflix or TV series you love. They run and run

333
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 3: and run. You've got to tune in every single night

334
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 3: for the next string installment.
