Dreams to Awaken the Soul of Humanity
We need only look within to find the indwelling guidance of our dreams, able to open our minds and hearts to a more soulful way of being.

If you could find a guide whose compassionate understanding directly connects you to your innermost feelings, shows you how your fears may limit you, and frees you to express your soul’s deepest longing in the world, wouldn’t this be a wonderful opportunity? Yet we need only look within to find the indwelling guidance of our dreams, able to open our minds and hearts to a more soulful way of being, both in dreams and waking life.

Waking Up to the Potential of Dreams
Speaker
My work has been to recollect and share my experience of dreams and my learning from Lucid Surrender, keeping faith with the guidance of dreams. This deep desire inspires me when I am giving a talk or leading a workshop.
Dream Guide
As your dream guide, I initiate you into a deeper understanding of dreaming and yourself. Like a midwife to your soul, I offer to help you in giving birth to your dreams. In this way, your dreams become the ‘seedlings of realities’ in your life on this earth and even beyond.
Dream Groups
To help us gain clarity about ourselves and our lives, dreamwork goes straight to the heart of the matter, by-passing the mind’s defences and detours to reveal the thoughts of the heart and the soul’s gifts.

About Melinda
Author, Speaker, Dream Guide, Trainer, Pioneer of Lucid Surrender
Since my early twenties, I have followed my dream guidance, which has led me from Southern California, where I was born, to Europe, where I have lived and worked for over thirty years. During this time, I have directed many new programs: the English Department of a Teacher Training College in Poland, a training program for United States Peace Corps volunteers in Lithuania, a summer school in Switzerland, and the charitable counselling service HELP in England, which I ran for 7 years. In 2012, I co-founded the Dream Research Institute in London, which I also directed for 7 years.
I now focus on writing and offer a limited number of dream guidance sessions to individuals and groups online both short and long-term. In my work, I bring together my training and interest in Nature, literature, psychology, metaphor, sacred traditions, alchemy, dreams and dream lucidity. In 2021, I published my latest book, Lucid Surrender: The Alchemy of the Soul in Lucid Dreaming, which offers readers a new way to be with the unknown so they can intimately know and express the deep Mystery at the heart of life.
