Hello, and welcome everyone to the intuitive lifestyle success podcast where we explore empower conscious living, to create priceless advantages for your wellness, your business and your life. I'm your host master intuitive coach and intuitive therapy practitioner, Cathleen Miller. Today's episode is number 39. And we are in the second week of May, and may is all about dreaming, I love this subject, I am such an avid dreamer that, you know, there's just so many directions we can go in. I love
everybody's feedback. And it's always fun to do dream interpretation and working through dreams energetically in sessions, because it can be so healing, it can give you such insight about what you're truly
desiring. So today, we are going to shift a little bit into using intuition to understand your dreams, really tuning into there's so much out there about dream interpretation and what symbols mean or what certain animals mean, or what certain circumstances perhaps in your dreams may mean, and there's a lot of General, you know, dictionaries out there of what specifics in dreams can mean. And some of that may be
useful. Sometimes it does, you know, I think it's and this is where the intuition comes in, at being able to really feel like does that resonate is true for me. Because really, the same symbol can have completely different meaning to lots of different, you know, in all kinds of different
circumstances. And sometimes, you know, let's take a knife, for example, you know, a knife can be a threat, or something that's dangerous, or something you're playing with, that you need to be really aware of, or it may be a knife is cutting away from what's not serving you or helping you get into something you wouldn't be able to without that tool. So the knife isn't necessarily a positive or a negative, it's how is it being used? How does it feel in the dream and, and
what's going on with it. So, you know, if you have dream questions and everything, I always invite everyone to you know, be sending me questions and feedback, I'd love to hear your dreams, if you'd like to have a dream interpreted or maybe you have a dream, that's kind of confusing, send me some
details. And I would love to, you know, bring that into a podcast to play with for everybody to you know, be able to gain understanding from and so, you know, really looking at signs and symbols, I guess that's a great place to start and being able to ask, you know, what are maybe repetitious symbols that are happening for you For you know, sometimes you have childhood dreams that maybe follow you in I, you know, definitely had certain animals and certain situations that
would come up and dreams for years, decades even and, and, and being able to really sit with what does that mean
specifically for me. So if you have, you know, and sometimes you know, in some of the demonic tradition, animals biting you or animals coming at you sometimes that is a shamanic initiation of sorts that this is an energy that's moving your, your soul and your spirit is wanting to get your attention of a power you're not really using or you're resisting against other times, it is, Hey, be aware, you're messing with something that you need to get help with,
or that needs to change. And, and so being able to look at, you know, with those patterns, or with maybe certain symbols, you're seeing that you don't quite understand. I've definitely had symbols that I've worked with for years that I don't have a literal articulation, but it's just a sense of this is opening energy in my life, this is contributing
to what is unfolding. And, and it just is sort of outside of our language in a way that, you know, is still supporting us, but is really coming from a higher place that is kind of beyond language. It's almost like if you went to another country, and you don't speak the language, and yet you can look at the person, you can through body language through your eyes, you can really still have an incredible exchange of caring, or in some cases fear or
intimidation. And so that's where you know, non physical language that does become more intuitive. What does this mean? What does this resonate at? And that really is part of where that body Connection is so important because if you aren't connected in your body, if you aren't between your body to your mind to your soul, really in a powerful alignment, then that's where we can move into, you know, judgment and reasoning that isn't necessarily accurate about, about people or, or even
in dream time. Sometimes, I've really learned over the years that, you know, a lot of dreams, I thought were nightmares were actually me working through or attempting to work through different different challenges that were coming in dreamstate. So not always taking it literal.
And yet, sometimes I know for some dreams can show up and be pre cognitive that it does show up and certain times, but more often than not, it's an awareness of stressors that are happening your your, your mind, letting go of excess information, you know, now being in this world that is just there's so much collective diversity of belief, and, and so many kind of different intensities that are happening, that are so interesting in the world. And so that can be just
stressful to start with. And, and so being able to have dream space to be letting that go to be releasing or just to be processing that with what does that mean for you? Does it you know, what is your specific being working through and
Dreamspace. And sometimes, and this isn't to assume the negative either, sometimes we're showing ourselves what we really desire, sometimes we're showing ourselves, you know, what we're really wanting, or where we're really wanting to be in the world, or, or maybe an experience we're wanting to have, or somewhere or wanting to
travel. And so dream space can be a wonderful place to show us, hey, this is possible to, you know, connect in with, or that change of your body or your life, or your personal experience in some way, can get to this change, that you maybe visually experience a dream state, which then can potentially give you inspiration, when you wake up of Wow, I, I really saw that it was possible, or I saw that that relationship or that future connection, you know, that felt
very real to me. So I know that, you know, that's, that's something that is relevant in my in my personal process. And, you know, a couple months ago, I remember having a dream where I was with my daughter, and Czechoslovakia, of all places that I knew I was there. And all you know, all kinds of details, were just sort of interesting in the dream. Well, the next couple of days later, we were at, you know, dinner with her boyfriend.
And that's like his one place to go to his families from there, I didn't really connect the dots of that I was just there and knew I was there, I knew I was, you know, helping and supporting that connection energetically in the dream. So it was just really kind of pleasant to be able to say, well, that's really interesting, you're aspiring to
go there. And this is something that in whatever way, because even though people want to interpret and say this is what it means, and this is all that it means I know that it was so much more than that, that there was more taking place that there was more that was sort of interesting and their relationship and and where they're going and what they're going to experience in the world. And, and so that's where sometimes dreams are really interesting, in that we dream
for and with others, too. I often dream around clients as well, that's very common that I'm aware of what's going on or assisting sometimes I have a lot of clients also report back to me that I'm in, you know, helping them in their dreams. And I show up teaching or in different ways. And so that's where we have this real superpower in our dream state if we're willing to play with it, own it, and really begin to sort
of activate that. So you know, clarifying resistance really sitting with if you do have a dream, and maybe there's a lot of details, let's say, being able to just ask what is one clarity point that can contribute to my understanding now in wake state that's really relevant. So maybe you were really worried and the dream if you really kind of kept kind of boiling it down to like, what was the crux of the theme that
was woven in? Maybe you were worried about everyone or maybe the energy was really sad. Like, you're just not happy, and everything was gray and, you know, all around and so being able to just deduce like, what is the core emotion of the dream that may be relevant or for me to get some support on understand more, and ultimately to make changes on to improve to be able to get to a better
place. And, and that's where, you know, being able to, because sometimes I'll wake up and I'll go, Okay, I know, that wasn't about me. And then inevitably, I have a new client or somebody that comes through I haven't talked to in years and, and it all of a sudden clicks in that, oh, that was for you, that informations for you, or that exchange was for you. So here's the information. Here's, you know, for whatever reason, that showed up in dream state, so what it was, it was useful, it
was relevant. And so being able to have clarity like, Am I dreaming about me? Is this an awareness of a family member or a sibling or something that's going on around me? And does it feel like it's just maybe sending a prayer or sending a blessing to them? Or is it something that wow, this is really, they're not listening, or they're really in their own way, and I'm being inspired to maybe encourage them to get some more support, or to consider a different possibility around
whatever the issue is. And, and really, you know, again, that's where, boy, there's a whole lot of interpretation that can come with that, where we feel, you know, not to put responsibility on our shoulders to fix anything, or be anything to anyone, it's more of that, you know, what can we be really positively inspired to, to encourage to, you know, be able to be contributing in a positive
way for sure. And, and oftentimes to, you know, if you have a dream, that's just crazy, and makes no sense, and it is quite negative, about someone, I mean, you know, sometimes, and that's where the knot literal can come in, because it may be, you know, you're so mad at someone, they're, you know, the, in the dream, they they fall, or something happens, and, and it may be that you're afraid of that for them. And so you see it in the dream, but then now you're afraid they might fall in
real life. And, and so it isn't always literal, it can be the fear of that, or it can be more metaphorical, that falling is more of loss of something or, you know, situation changing in a way that doesn't keep the
vitality. So again, being able to just stay with that space of interpretation, but really sitting in meditation, and just and this is what I do each morning, after meditation, if I have dreams, I just will pull out, okay, what is really relevant and useful to kind of maybe play with here that I can get greater understanding from or that really is, you know, a lot of times it will be just confirming what I already know.
But sometimes it is like, well, this is interesting, or this is a bit of a question mark or, huh, yeah, I had a conversation that wasn't the most positive about that. So, of course, it's in my dream space. Because then we can sit and say, How can I now make it better? When you when you take because stuff happens, guys, like, you know, life can be so challenging. And there's, there are areas and subjects and topics in our life that are just, you know, we all could use
support on. And so part of that dream work is being able to ask what could I be aware of in wake state that could be better? What is it that I maybe I'm resisting, reaching out to someone or I'm resisting? You know, taking care of myself
better? Or what what is what is the change that if I could just relax and be open to a possibility here that could increase the quality of my life would that be and being able to just, you know, be with that because that's something that you know, when you're in that proactive awareness and working with it, but also of course, using grounded practical, you know, steps to to create change
with that. And, and not an and again, letting go of the literal more often than not, then that really can be enhancing our lives. It can be enhancing our understanding of where we are in our own personal development. Sometimes it's heads up on business, sometimes it's a heads up on, you know, change this coming. Sometimes it's a heads up on, you know, things to be aware of that that are going to change in the world or in life around us. And so when we end And sometimes it's far, far
ahead. That is our energy, really helping us to just gently transition towards something, no
matter what that is. And, and so when we remember that everything is always working out for us and everything, the universe is conspiring to support us with everything, then we can be, you know, we don't have to be in fear, we can stay in that relaxed, you know, trust of as life begins to constantly unfold, and we can enjoy it more because this can be so much fun to play with dreams to be excited to invite, you know, healthy, positive, supportive healing dreams and for sure.
