Dream Guidance & the Waking Dream
The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities – James Allen
Soul-Awakening Through Dreams
As your Dream Guide, I help you awaken to your soul’s full potential.
I enable you to explore the wisdom of dreams to remind you of what you have always known but may have forgotten about yourself and the world.
My work initiates 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.
From my wide experience of dream lucidity, I teach a path I call ‘Lucid Surrender’™, an approach to dreams that awakens the soul to the mysterious Presence at the heart of Creation. I offer my work to those who desire to move into the depths of dreams, who value compassion as much as knowledge and who seek within the wellspring of life that guides us to meet, with love and wisdom, the challenges facing us in the world today.
Do you ever wake up in the dark and ask yourself…
Why am I so afraid?
How can I overcome my fears?
What should I do now?
How will I manage?
What is my purpose in life?
Each of us has the potential to discover this ‘real therapy’ for ourselves as we learn to become conscious in the lucid dream state – to wake up in sleep.
The call to ‘wake up’ to a greater wisdom and deeper love is present in all Wisdom Traditions and, it is found, no less, in our dreams. We can learn how to respond to this call.
These involve numinous encounters that empower us to make more transformative change to our waking world.
In lucid dreams, we can choose the action we take in the dream state, much as we do in the waking world. If we choose consciously to align our individual will with the ‘Highest Will’ and to surrender to the awareness that we ‘belong to more than ourselves’, profound new experiences of being and knowing arise.

The Waking Dream
To help awaken you to your dream’s intent, and to develop your awareness in dreams, I use an experiential dream re-entry process called the Waking Dream Process, originally developed by Nigel Hamilton. As the name suggest, I invite you to re-enter a dream of yours while in the waking state. You are awake but your eyes will be closed or partially open as when doing meditation. You re-enter the dream in a relaxed but focused state. You are not alone in the experience, for I am alongside you as a guide and witness to your process, enabling an empathetic and lucid perspective to your re-engagement with the dream.
What happens in a Waking Dream Session?
Depending on your needs, during a session we may work associatively with your dream material and/or with dream re-entry related to part, or all, of a dream, interweaving your dreams and life experience to see what new life emerges.
Prior to the Waking Dream session:
- Write down or draw your dream(s)
- Have a 50-minute consultation with me to see what’s best for you going forward
- Clarify the terms of our Waking Dreamwork
After your Waking Experience, you may:
- Amplify your dream experience through artwork, creative writing, and focused meditation.
- Look more deeply into the feelings and thoughts that arise in the sessions.
- Explore how your new understanding of your dream changes your life.
