Episode 82: Living in Between Dreams, Realms, and Reality with Toko-Pa Turner
Our dreams are a form of communication; to get our attention and for us to actively tend to them. Whether it’s a good dream or a bad one, our dreams want to tell us something we might not have listened to while we were awake. However, scary dreams tell us another thing. Maybe we haven’t tended to them in some way for lack of resources to understand, while also trying to escape the difficulty in our lives in various ways, whether that looks like imbibing social media, other addictions, and various forms of escapism. But once we tend to our dreams that tend to us, we end up responding differently to the world around us. What do our dreams tell us and what are the insights and wisdom from the images we see in our dreams?
