11
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: to Coast AM on iHeart Radio. Kathleen O'Keeffe Cannabis with Us.

12
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,919
Speaker 1: She was with me back in the two thousand fifteen.

13
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: Has spent years studying and teaching about dreams. She's a

14
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: three time breast cancer survivor who's dreams diagnosed her cancer.

15
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: She credits her survival to conventional treatment combined with her

16
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: dreams as a diagnostic tool. She's one of twenty case

17
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: studies from a paper on precognitive dreams that diagnosed breast

18
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: cancer recently published and a medical journal. I'll introduce Larry

19
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: Burke later when he comes on. The name of the

20
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: book that Kathleen and Larry Burke have written is called

21
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: Dreams that Can Save Your Life. Kathleen, welcome back. It's

22
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: always good to know you're doing okay. I'm doing great.

23
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: I'm I'm still healthiest, can be good for you. Was

24
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: it the dream that saved you? In your opinion? Oh, absolutely,

25
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. How so well, Um, you

26
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: know the dream told me quote unquote, you have breast cancer.

27
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: Uh this this you know monk that came into my

28
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 1: dream that I talked about years ago with you took

29
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: my hand, put it on my breast and said can

30
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: you feel that? And I said in the dream, yes

31
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: I can. And the monk said, you go back to

32
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: your doctor tomorrow without an appointment, and you tell him

33
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: that you need exploratory surgery because that is the only

34
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: thing that is going to find it. And at that

35
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: point I had already been to my doctor three times

36
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: over a three month period, having mammograms, blood tests, and

37
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: physical exams. So if that that monk had not come

38
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: back to me and insisted that I go to the doctor, Um,

39
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be here on your show talking to you.

40
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: And when the monk said that. When he said go

41
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: back to your doctor tomorrow without an appointment, I started

42
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: crying in the dream. And um, I said, you know,

43
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: my doctors aren't listening to me. They're giving me the

44
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: same mammograms, blood tests, physical exams, and uh, they're not

45
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: helping me. If you want me to live, if I

46
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: really do have breast cancer, and I'm not just dreaming this,

47
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: help me. And so this Franciscan monk, and I have

48
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: no idea why it's a Franciscan monk, but this Franciscan

49
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: monk handed me a tiny feather and said, you use

50
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: this like a sword tomorrow to cut through your doctor's

51
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: arguments that you'll get the test you need to live.

52
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: And I did. I was in stage two breast cancer,

53
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: very aggressive, and it was an olymph node. Tell me, Kathleen,

54
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: who you think the monk might have been? If anybody,

55
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: who would the monk have been? I mean, I don't

56
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: Was he a symbol of somebody you had known? No,

57
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not Catholic. No, I don't think it's

58
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: a symbol of anyone I would have known. Um, I

59
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 1: don't know any monks. I don't even really know any nuns.

60
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: So UM, the only thing that I can possibly think

61
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: of is my father was orphaned and he was raised

62
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: by what he called the brothers. He was in um

63
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: a Catholic I guess monastery. Was raised by brothers who

64
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: and they're strict, They're very strict, strict, and that that's

65
00:03:54,720 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: the only connection I have. Remarkable, when you would be awake,

66
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: did you have any inclination that you had breast cancer

67
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: prior to the dreams? Oh? Absolutely not, George, I mean, seriously,

68
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: my my life was such that. UM. One of the

69
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: reasons why I didn't show up anywhereas number one, I

70
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: was young, and my doctor kept telling me, what you're

71
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: too young for breast cancer doesn't run in your family,

72
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: so you don't have it. Because I kept saying what if,

73
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: what if? And kept saying no, no, no, it's not.

74
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: But I played tennis all the time, I scuba died,

75
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: I rode horses, I was very active, worked out. I

76
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: didn't have to work. I wasn't under any stress. I mean,

77
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: you know my you know my husband. I'm pampered and

78
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: uh yet I got breast cancer and it changed my

79
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: life because then I realized that if my dreams saved

80
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: my life. How many other women are out there that

81
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,679
Speaker 1: are having dreams and ignoring them? And so I made

82
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: this promise to who, I guess the universe that if

83
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: I survived this because the second time when I found

84
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: recurrent in the dreams and I had to go back

85
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: to my doctors, it was nine by eleven centimeter tumor

86
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: and the doctors didn't even think I was going to live. Unbelievable.

87
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: I guess you could say this as a gift. You know,

88
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: when we get Dr Larry Burke on and you're gonna

89
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: just love him. You know, you you meet certain doctors

90
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: that are that are one in a million, but he's

91
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: one in a lifetime. Um, he's gonna be talking about

92
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: how the women that he found were a higher percentage

93
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: than anybody thought. And so if we could find these

94
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: people in like four months time to write this book,

95
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: and that's the only amount of time we had from

96
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: the time we signed the contract with our publisher. We

97
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: had no stories. We had three chapters that we kind

98
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: of threw together and sent it out and it went

99
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: into a bidding war, and um, you know, all of

100
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: a sudden, we had to find these other stories in

101
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: Boom they just started coming in left and right. So

102
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: do you think this is a process of the brain,

103
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: that there's some mechanism within our human body that creates

104
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: this kind of watchdog or is it something of consciousness

105
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: outside of the physical body. I think it's outside the

106
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: physical body, George, I really do. I think it's beyond earth, Um.

107
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: And the reason I feel that no, the reason I

108
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: know that you know, you have beliefs, and then you know,

109
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: and you know when you've experienced something. In this book,

110
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: we have a section where people dreamed for others and

111
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: told them that they had cancer, and then they went

112
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: to the doctor and found out, yes, it was true

113
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: for other people they dreamed they did. Since we had

114
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: daughters that dreamt of cancer for their mothers and saved

115
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: their mother's lives. We have a story in here where

116
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: a daughter dreamt that her mother had uterine cancer and

117
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 1: was going to die in three months. That's what the

118
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: dream said, and the dream said, oh, and by the way,

119
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: you've got breast cancer. Get to the doctor. And they

120
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: were both true. Now that raises the question, George, where

121
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: did that come from? And almost all of these dreamers

122
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: in this book, Um had voices that told them or

123
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: they would have some symbolic dreams. But a lot of

124
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: them also had deceased loved ones who came back into

125
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: their dreams and told them that they had cancer and

126
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: gave them information they could not possibly have had. Now,

127
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: if they had a diagnostic dream, it's possible that because

128
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: they had the disease in their body, their body was

129
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: telling them in a dream. But how do you explain

130
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: deceased loved ones coming into somebody's dream and telling them

131
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: that they have the cancer and giving them other information

132
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: that is later validated, Because every single dream in this book, George,

133
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: is validated by pathology reports. And in terms of the illnesses,

134
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: it's not just cancer that people dream about, right No, No,

135
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: we have cystic fibrosis, We have diabetes, so you know

136
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: that's a big deal right now with the millennials, Um,

137
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: we have all kinds of illnesses. No, not just cancer.

138
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: Just remarkable. Is it god given? In your opinion? I do.

139
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: I think we're born with it. I think it's a

140
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: god given uh way to reconnect with our higher power

141
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: and our loved ones, especially in our darkest hour. We're

142
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: never alone, and I know that you know people are

143
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 1: going oh, ghosts, ghost ghosts are coming back. Well, you know,

144
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: I think it's a little more than that. I think

145
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: that when we are in our darkest hour, our loved

146
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: ones on the other start are given permission to come

147
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: back and give us information necessary for us to stay alive.
