So did you have a dream? Did you follow my directions and do a waking dream if you didn’t have a dream? If you didn’t do the assignment, read this blog and go back and watch the first video and do the assignment.
Now I’m going to tell you another cool story about my dream work before I share the video and give you a tip on how to interpret your dreams.
I have so many stories…I can’t decide which one to share…but I’ll share this one. I did a dream assignment that apparently you are only allowed to do once and it’s the assignment that tells you what you are meant to do with your life.
I’ll never forget the anxiety I had leading up to that assignment. Will it tell me that I’m meant to be an actress? I was already acting at this time, and it felt so good but still scary.
I used all my tools and had the dream. I didn’t know what to make of it when I received the dream. See, the end of the dream is the solution. The beginning is the problem, and the middle is all the stuff you are working through to get there. My ending had me in a hospital sitting across from some patient at a table out in the hall, helping them. The dream felt good but what the heck did this have to do with my acting career?
My teacher asked me to draw the part of the hospital so we could work with it further. I can still see that drawing so clearly in my head today. It was golden yellow. There was a folding-table-looking-thing by the wall near a double door. I was sitting at it with this person across from me.
The drawing felt amazing, but I was so conflicted. What did this have to do with my life’s purpose? Why wasn’t I on stage somewhere or accepting my Oscar? What the heck was this about?
I don’t remember the exact conversation I had with my teacher, but I remember she just let me know that it would be revealed in time and the dream was telling me to continue to follow my heart and passions.
Well, if you don’t know where I’m going with this story yet…here goes. Years (and I mean years later)…I remembered that dream, and I was telling a friend about it. She was sitting there with her mouth wide open as I described the picture in detail. She looked at me and said, “Don’t you see what it means? You are a healer. It’s the work you are doing now.” I stopped, thought about it and realized she was right. I was doing exactly what I love to do, and it was healing people in magnificent ways. I was no longer acting because I chose to not act anymore. I was even volunteering with my dog at a hospital.
I sat there amazed (and still do to this day) that the dream that you could only do once was so right on and true. Wow! Have I told you how this work has shifted me? Yep. Amazing. And it can shift you too.
I do hope you can join me for the live class on Thursday, September 29th at 4pm (PT) and don’t worry if you can’t join me, you will get the replay.
Now for the video I promised up above.

P.S. – I’m also thinking about doing away with readings after this year so in the meantime, I decided to lower the prices a bit to give people a chance to get readings.
