There's one with a boat. A big boat and it's always just cracked. And I wish it wasn't because it's my boat. Can we talk about it?
Yeah, later. Okay. Oh, this is a boat. Yeah.
When Assistant Danny is in here, my life collapses. I don't mean to complain about the mansion, but dude, one of the things that you're gurks my gherkin is when we have lunch at 5 p.m. Well, that's anybody else. It's a lot of force, bro.
It's because it's a bit scary. It's because I eat every meal late because I work out in the first meal. I eat his breakfast at noon, which by the way, welcome back to the number one podcast in the world. Thank you guys for listening, watching, if you're subscribed, hit that subscribe button.
What's going on? You got water bro. I think this was supposed to be a water for the gas, but it's half drank. Yeah.
Well, because Danny's not here. I know this. I know this. This is just a half.
All right. I'll just check and make sure we get some. All right. It's a problem.
I think we all share. I don't know. I just want to ask. I have run into a wall.
You have a platform. You can't balance that too. But I've run into a shirt shortage. Yo, when we are running another mansion problem, well, listen, when we're running, so we're gonna listen or do education reform.
Like what the fuck you doing right now? I'm sorry. Will the beast that doesn't do your attention. So I'm sorry.
When we are shooting, by the way, I put these on. It's tough to get a sentence out of you guys. I gotta say, you can distract. It's so easy.
Just speak fucking words. When you are running two to seven shows a day, like we have been for the past week, there's just only so many shirts that you can have. And so I go on my closet and I say, there's a shirt. But guess what?
Who and we shoot out of order? So who knows it? Send me shirts if you're watching sponsors brands. If you're watching this, you've got go close.
I bet you've ever marched up. I bet they'll be willing to sponsor you. I just really haven't like a lot of their stuff lately. I love you.
We're gonna cut that. But if you are watching this in your clothing brand, I have a lot of maverick, which I love. But please send clothes to. Oh, you can't put that.
Well, that's just where we live in our address. So we'll probably just mute that. Oh, yes. Okay.
I got something before I bring our guest on. Who's awesome, by the way? My dad texted me before the show started. He said, just watch a night shift, which is Mike's new.
Mike's new. What is it? Like a talk? Like a YouTube talk show?
I'm just watching night shift. Just watch night shift. Fucking best podcast ever. But then the next text said in all caps not.
Well, we know Greg Paul. Of course. You know, it doesn't end there. There's more classic GP.
I hit my dick with a hammer because it felt better that struggling through that cluster fuckshow. Let's bring on our guests. Today's guest is on a mission to awaken the world to the power of dreams. She's a certified clinical hypnotherapist.
The world's leading dream expert. She's been on countless talk shows and is a published author of the hero's journey, the love, sex and relationship, dream dictionary and more. It's dream expert. Kelly Sullivan, Walden.
All these beverages and you've got none. Do you want? No, I think he did come through with the water. He did.
He got a beverage. Good to be with you guys. Hey, so sorry. It was so tense.
I'm just a little bit too lazy to do a little intervention and do a little like, can we learn some nonviolent communication? No. I'm violent. I'm violent.
What do you got? What's your advice from what you just witnessed? Well, oh my God, first of all, I think it's beautiful that you guys must love each other very much in order to trust each other enough to be able to vent out whatever's on your mind. I mean, there's a lot of people out there.
Should I be listening like this? We can. And off the line is it okay. Is it okay?
Oh, is that better? Too loud? You're doing great. I don't know.
What do you think? I want to have this saying if that segment somehow got cut like I just got another Mike and Logan fight. It was about private. But if you think it cut, here you are talking about it.
Okay, all right, so there's something called the submit rebel cycle. And it's like, so like saying you're sorry for something, you know, that's a great thing to do. However, it's usually like, you do something that you know, is a little bit bad, it's kind of like scratching an itch. Like I'm just gonna say that thing.
And then, so that's like rebelling. And then I'm sorry, it's like submitting, but then that sets you up to have to rebel again. And then it's like it keeps the submit rebel cycle. It's like I caught in that in my career at one point.
Yes, yes, yes, I remember that. I said I wanted to be the villain. Like I embraced trying to be the villain. Okay.
And then I'd get stuck in back into like apologies, but like I'm gonna be a bad guy in the back of apologies. Exactly, okay, so the truth is, it's like you're more than that. You're more than those extremes. And the idea is to get off that cycle.
And to just step into like, I was expressing myself, like to assume this is what I do. I assume that everybody's got a good intent behind everything they do. Even if the outcome is hurtful. So like what just happened here, I would imagine, you tell me your intent of saying the thing that you said about Greg wasn't necessarily to hurt anybody, but maybe just to express yourself or to get something off your chest.
And we all have a need to do that. Was there some, I mean an underlying need that we can all relate to that's not in it? I mean, I'll be honest with you, I was clapping back. I'm from the East Coast.
So if you fuck with me, I'm a clap back. Oh, fuck it. So like you got to remember, it wasn't you. It wasn't just me like, yo, this person, somebody came at me and here's me like this.
Go back off. Oh, got it. Okay. So protecting yourself.
And we can all relate to you. So it's coming from my crown, dude. Okay, perfect. Anyway, so I would say that from, if I were, can I say something to you?
Okay, sure. So in response, like if somebody said something hurtful about my dad, it would definitely ruffle my feathers. And by the way, my dad was a boxer. I grew up in a boxing gym.
So I can kind of anyway, my dad's a big tough dude, but I wouldn't, I would do anything to protect him. But I would assume before I like lose it, I would say, okay, Mike, I'm gonna assume the best. I'm gonna assume that what you just did has a good intent. I don't know what it was.
No, no, you're right. The intent was to clap back, which normally isn't a problem. It was just, he went for like a super low, really kind of disgusting. Oh, you were really upset.
Absolutely. Yeah. I remember the other day we talked about how like, I don't think you'd ever get me like I'm set on a podcast. That actually like.
Oh, I was kidding. I didn't know you were actually upset about that. That's like, that's like, Joe Greu and family. I think when it comes to my mom and my dad.
I say, I'm sorry, I say jokingly, whereas I think you know, you think other people take it seriously. No, not I think. Not I think. I know they did.
Oh, really? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I always known GP to be a stand up gentleman.
I didn't think anything. This is the cool thing because you didn't know that you were, that you were hitting him as deeply as you did. So your intent wasn't to hurt this dude. It's like, no, you were just being funny.
And had you known that it would hurt him so bad. I bet you. The thing is this, it's the same with him. Like I put some time and effort into that content.
I don't want somebody saying it shit. Like I prefer that hurt me. You know what I'm saying? It's like, yeah, now we're now hurt people.
Hurt people. And so look at us like, and so like here's the thing. I hate being in a situation where it's like, he makes a joke about something that means something to me. Everybody laughs.
I make a joke back about something that means to him. And a bad guy. It gets ratings. It gets ratings.
And yeah, at the same time in and I like out in the world, my, my, what I teach people is to just say, ouch that hurt. And it just. You know, you know, I should say that. Do you know the most effective way to defeat, you know this, I'm gonna say this for the audience.
We'll see. One of the most effective ways to diffuse and argue with someone is by literally saying out, how physically saying out, if someone says something that hurts you, say out. Interesting. Yeah.
It's like, oh my God, you just hurt me as opposed to immediate defense or anger, which covers up hurt and vulnerability. But to reveal your vulnerability, that does kind of sorry. It's fucking for ratings, but you know, good for life and depth of relationship. So it's Kelly, it's interesting you, you came out and almost immediately became a therapist for us.
I think we could definitely use you in our lives, but you do a lot of things. Because we brought you on today to talk specifically about dreams. Okay. Dreams are the dream expert.
Would you say one of the top dream experts in the world? I can't say that about myself, but I could say that it's something that I'm passionate about. And I do it a lot. And I think anything that we do and we become obsessed with, we start to develop mastery in it.
It starts to become second nature. Although the nature of dreams is that they're always bizarre and the more bizarre the better. If a dream is ordinary, then I think there's something wrong with the person. If you're too ordinary.
But there's always a moment of like, what the heck is this? And then the clarity pops in. So I always have to be willing to not know anything and just take a breath there and then allow the clarity to start to pop. Got it.
I do want to get into specific dreams. We all have dreams. We had some fans submit dreams that they've had. Maybe you could help us interpret what they made.
I would be so happy to. What are dreams though, Kelly? Oh my God. It doesn't make any sense to me.
You fall asleep and you just sort of imaginary movie comes to life. In your brain? There's so much that happens. Okay.
So from one perspective, we are infinite creatures. Like we look like we're just these bodies sitting here in this room. But the truth is if we could like scroll back the movie and look at the macro perspective, we're infinite. We are so complex.
We're connected with our mind, body spirit, past, present future. We're everything. And yet we've chosen this life to experience this very limited incarnation. But when we go to sleep, it's like the veil is lifted and it's like, we can experience all the stuff that's been suppressed and all the things that have been nice and tucked away neatly, all of a sudden the freaks come out at night.
In order for us to, to some degree, I believe, remember that we are more than just this and to have a chance for the bigger part of ourselves to have a playground and to remind us and give us some answers to our questions and our problems and insights. Are they, are they answers though? Because oftentimes my dreams are just nonsense. Just straight up nonsense.
There's boats with wings that are bleeding and angels playing pinball and I. For real? Are those real? Oh yeah, for sure.
There's one with a boat. Oh, that's great. A big boat and it's always just cracked. And I wish it wasn't because it's my boat.
Can we talk about it? Yeah, later. Okay. Oh, there's a boat.
Here's the thing, it's vulnerable. It reveals a lot when you talk about dreams. I think we know that. That's why we kind of hide around them.
The dreams are supposed to be bizarre because it's our limbic system that's dreaming. It's not our conscious mind is online right now where we're logical and we're kind of like, we're talking in a normal sort of sensical way. But our limbic brain and our emotional brain that comes online at night, it doesn't operate in order. It's not politically correct at all.
So it speaks in metaphors. So it's very poetic, our subconscious mind, our dreaming mind. And we can learn to pay attention. It's like a language to look at it in terms of every symbol speaks a thousand words.
It's actually a super intelligent language. Our dreams are way more intelligent than our logical mind that we're using right now. If we were really smart, we would totally pay attention to them and integrate them into our lives. We would be a thousand times further along than we are.
Isn't there a way to master dreaming? So you can control your dreams? You guys would be perfect for that. Lucid dreaming.
Dreaming is what it's called. Don't you like do a dot on your hand or something? There's a whole bunch of techniques. One technique yet is there's definitely the hands where you like right now, if you guys want to look at your hands, just like take a snapshot in your mind of your hands.
I know they're cute. Okay, so, so snapshot. All right, so throughout the day, every once in a while, just look at your hands and remember, okay, so you're telling yourself when I'm dreaming tonight, when I'm dreaming tonight, if I remember that I'm dreaming, I want to look at my hands and somehow the hands are a trigger to remind you that you're dreaming. And if you're aware that you're dreaming while you're dreaming, that's when the fun can start.
That's exactly, that's when you know, oh my God, I'm not confined by the normal world, by gravity, by logic, by walls. You can go anywhere and do anything the moment you become lucid. Wow, sounds great. Yeah, you guys would be, that'd be amazing to do like, I don't know, because what that would do, you guys.
I agree. Do an experiment with you. The issue is though, beyond just Kelly, I'm not dreaming often, and I'm like a creative person. It's almost like when I go to sleep, my body and brain completely shuts off the rejuvenate.
Right. I've exhausted myself in the time that I'm awake. Right. Why am I not dreaming?
Well, I think there's cycles. There's periods in our lives when we're in massive production mode and we do need to sleep. So we're always dreaming every night, seven to nine, no matter what. But your ability to recall those dreams is up for question.
And when you're super maxed out, when your life is, when you're really, really living your dream, full out, like you guys are, I could imagine that sometimes it would be hard. There might be cycles where you have a dry spell because you're so using your creativity out here. However, it's, I always say that it's great to keep a dream journal even if you wake up and you're like, oh my God, that was a stupid dream. Oh my God, that's shoes.
What's that was nothing? Just even, even if you don't remember anything, to keep note of the first thought that you have when you wake up in the morning, because often those are the most genius thoughts that you'll have the whole day. And peculiar about them that will give you a hint that will open up things and just speed you forward. So keep a dream journal, even if you think you're not dreaming.
You are. Doesn't that help with lucid dreaming as well? Yes. It's just the dream journal right when you wake up, you write down your dream.
Exactly. And actually starting with before you go to sleep. So before you go to sleep, it all starts before, it's like a dream sandwich. It's all the things that you do before.
And right when you wake up. So set an intention before you go to sleep for not only that you're going to remember your dream or not only that you're going to have a lucid dream, but that you're going to dream about a particular thing, like an issue with regards to a girlfriend or your family or health or whatever it is. Everybody knows what their issue do's your is. So you can write that down in a piece of paper or just think about it, focus on it.
And it's as if to say dreams, help me figure out what to do about X or your X or whatever that is. And then I want to have a lucid dream about that ideally, at least remember a dream that's connected to this thing. And consider when you wake up in the morning, whatever you wake up with is an answer somehow to that thing. If you interpret your dream from that perspective, you'll have insights that will blow your mind.
Do you have a problem with the entrepreneurs and the people who are like, go, go hustle, hustle hustle, you only need four hours of sleep, wake up, grind, grind, like do you think that that's unhealthy? I think it's, I think, every once in a while, if I have a deadline for something, I can be totally pushing myself. And but I would say as a regular thing, it's super hard on your body. It's toxic hustle.
Ooh. Toxic hustle. That's a hashtag. There's quite a bit of that in the world and the social landscape right now.
Because it's like, ooh, it's cool to like not sleep. And like everyone who's a new entrepreneur, I was sleeping on a couch two hours a night, I wake up and go to the gym at four AM. Yeah, they wear it like it's like a prideful thing. Right, but we can't dream if we don't sleep.
In fact, they say we sleep in order to dream. Ariana Huffington, she has a book called The Sleep Revolution. You guys heard about that. But she was one of those people that believed, yeah, I'll sleep when I die.
I just need, I got stuff to do. But she was awake in the middle of the night working on something and she fell asleep at her computer and she cracked her cheek on her desk and ended up in a pool of blood. She got injured. Yeah, from not sleeping.
From not sleeping. And then she was like, okay, wake up call. Maybe I need to rethink this strategy. And so yeah, so there's a lot of research, a lot of people super passionate about get your eight hours of sleep.
You're way more effective. You tend to lose weight. If you get more sleep, you tend to be healthier. You're better with your mind.
You're more clear, more sharp. If you don't get sleep, you start getting kind of droggy and kind of, mm, I don't know. So it's not good for your body for your mind. Yeah, you mentioned the subconscious mind.
Yes. When you're sleeping. I've read quite a few books about the power of the subconscious mind during the day. So basically what we attract during the day, the quality of our day, what we create during the day is actually created while we're sleeping.
There's a lot of philosophies that believe that. So, well, so according to the American Hypnosis Association, our logical. That's a thing. That's a thing.
It is. AJ. Exactly. Great band.
Great band from the 1980s. Okay. So, that's a good song. Yes.
That was a good song. That was a good song. I got a dream about it. All falsetto.
Exactly. That's right. So, our conscious mind that we're using right now is 12% of our mind's power. That's our logic, our reasoning, our intentions.
I'm going to do this. I'm going to create that. All that is in our 12% conscious mind versus our subconscious mind. Our dreaming mind is 88% of our mind's power.
That's all of our feelings and emotions and intuition and ability to connect the dots between things. So if we, if we act, most people don't even value their subconscious mind. It doesn't even count. Because you can't see it.
It's like in your blind spot. So it's not there. Obviously it's not there but maybe it's just for ourselves maybe I won't do that just for ourselves because his purpose of investing. He's done about everything.
He's you selling you a cash when you're still a customer. But he knows well that you used the numbers of orders. I was in fraud, which I was an Cert of uffs. It wasn't that very early.
It's like you're getting a crutch to get there. But the truth is you can get there on your own, and then you don't have to have the backlash that you would have if you do drugs, or do something that's gonna harm your brain. So one simple practice is by paying attention to your dreams every night. That is connecting the bridge between your conscious and subconscious mind.
It's so simple. Okay, but I... And meditation is another way. Meditation's great, great mind.
We love breathing and working. That's so cool, yeah. Quite enlightened. I was gonna say like, again, I'm not dreaming.
So you're saying pay attention to your dreams every night. How can I force myself to dream? So the trick is not to force yourself. You can't force it, but you can set a strong intention before you go to sleep.
Is it not like no melatonin or Nyquil? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, because those will give you, they will tend to stimulate your dreams, but not in a way that's sustainable. It ends up having an adverse effect. It's like diminishing returns.
So set a strong intention before you go to sleep. Like literally make a ritual of it. If you wanna light a candle, do a little meditation, and say to yourself, like three times, I'm going to remember some dream when I wake up in the morning. It's like you're telling the dream maker, I'm paying attention.
If you give me something, I'm gonna remember it. And I swear, there's gonna be something, even if it's in the middle of the night, you have to get up to peak. Set a strong intention. But here's the other piece, is getting into the habit of writing something down when you wake up in the morning, even if it's not a remembered dream.
You're thinking something, you're always thinking. So the first thing you wake up with in the morning, it could be some song, take me, whatever. Whatever that is, whatever it is, write that down. If you get in the habit of writing something down and you can put it in an app, nobody really uses the dream journal anymore, although that's fine.
But there's an app that I use called Dream Journal Ultimate. It's a free app online, it's awesome. You can just press the voice recorder and just say, okay, I didn't really remember a dream, but I woke up for some reason thinking about my grandma and Christmas and that, like, that pair of socks that you gave me that one year. Whatever.
So that's something, that counts, because you're still in your subconscious mind mode, because you're still sort of sleepy. Record something. And then it's like you're creating the space, like the build it, they will come. If you create a habit of writing something down, first thing in the morning, eventually, one of those things that you write down is going to be a really serious dream.
And you will have caught it, you will build the muscles, like you have so well developed, like dream muscles. Just a simple, yeah, they're great muscles. Seriously, they are, can we just take a moment to observe? Excuse me, yeah.
Moment of silence for the pet. So vascular. There we go. Okay, but seriously, dream muscles, a million poor thumb thing.
You build them, build them and then the dreams will come. Okay, I love that. That's an action item. I have a PowerPoint here.
We do segments on the show sometimes, and we have one for you. Let's just segment. It's called, what do you dream? Oh, okay.
Ooh, I don't. What's that? That's not why I don't. That's incredible.
That's a powerful concept. That's a powerful concept. Yeah, our producer, Dylan, makes these, this is phenomenal. All that.
Great a PowerPoint. Yep, great a. And maybe you could tell us what some of these things mean. Okay.
In dreams. Okay, we've all experienced all of these things. Come on, flying. Yep.
You're flying in your dream. Oh my God, that looks so cool. Flying is one of the best dreams ever. Most of the time, this is the best dream ever.
Some people feel out of control and they're like, oh, it was scary. But most of the time people report this being euphoric. Because in a way, a flying dream, I think of it as a reward. A reward for having done something right.
Usually our dreams will give us some kind of a gift if we're on track. It's kind of like, I don't know, a video game, or I'm not a video gamer, but it's like, you get some dopamine hit if you're doing something right. So that is the ultimate, well, one of the ultimate dopamine hits that you possibly get. And it tells you that you're rising above your circumstances.
To me, in a word, it symbolizes mastery. You're coming into power over whatever circumstances. Used to challenge you. It's like, now you've got this.
I like that perspective because people who may not have the success in the physical realm can almost have this immense wealth in their dreams. Totally. Just seems pretty valuable. Like, I'm on a fly, that's pretty good reward.
It is, exactly. And who's to say what success is or not? I mean, for some people, it's success just to wake up in the morning and just to do anything in the day based on where they're at. But one of the, you talked about action items.
One action item if you have a dream like this is to meditate on it a few minutes a day throughout the day, like throughout the next few weeks because that dream, usually when people talk about it, you can see a sparkle in their eyes. You see that they sit up, it's like they tap into a higher version of themselves. And I believe that you're given these dreams to, it's like a carrot of like to follow into some higher realm of yourself. So that you can start to make that more normal.
So that flying aspect of you becomes your new setting. Life, your life, your flying in real life. Exactly. That's awesome.
Okay, what about this one? We've all done it. When you're falling, what does it mean? Oh my God.
You're falling and you hit the ground from a very high point. Yes. You die. I heard you die in real life.
Okay, old wives tail on that one because the people that, I mean, I, well, unless we, they don't live to tell the tail, but I've talked to so many people, I just have one the other day that I fell, hit the ground. And it was like, oh, and I'm here. I think. I don't know.
Pinch me. Am I too? Just read a mention. She didn't see her.
I don't know. I'm good. So there's two different ways to look at falling dreams. And the first way is kind of the ordinary way.
And that kind of means that you're out of control. Something's going on in your life that's overwhelming you. You don't feel grounded. You feel like the rug's been pulled out from underneath you.
Something you're not in control of your circumstances. So that's kind of the first way to look at it. Like, wow, my dream is helping to vent out my feelings of overwhelm, but a kind of a cooler, more metaphysical version of this. This might seem a little woo woo woo.
But are you open to hear a little woo woo? Yeah. Let's go. Okay.
All right. So there's a tribe called the Sonoy from the Highlands of Malaysia. And they were discovered by an anthropologist called Kilton Stewart. And he said that of all the tribes, the dreaming tribes that he ever studied, these people were the most enlightened that he had ever come across.
And there's a few different markers of what made them so enlightened. And one of them was the way they related to their falling dreams. He said that they believe that falling dreams indicate that there are falling spirits that are calling you into your depth so that you can become stronger. You can become more related to your roots so that you can become this like more grounded version of yourself.
And the goal in a flying dream, I mean, in a falling dream is to learn how to fall well. Like in the matrix, like, oh, yeah. So if you remember that you're, if you're dreaming that you're falling, you're like, ah, if you can try to remember, okay, fall well, fall well, you can slow it down and like land and know that it's not a bad dream. Most people in the world right now think falling dream.
Oh, that's bad. Something bad's going on with me. No, no, no. I think it's calling something deeper.
The bling of Tinseltown is calling you to do something more meaningful with your life. I've been having skydiving dreams. Oh, okay. So like I'm falling, but I'm consciously falling.
Which is what you and that's just like the guy in the yellow suit. Oh, yes. I'm just coming in, grabbing some leg and I'm out. He just does that.
Grabs like exactly. That's like, that's kind of like a safety net. Yeah. What does it mean?
Well, this is the thing though, in the dream I pulled a shoot very low. Oh, wow. So I'm like, oh, I'm a little low here. Well, yeah, I like every time.
See, this is what's so cool about dreams is like everyone starts to pop and you start to think symbolically and that. And I think then the dream starts to really come to life. How often though little side now how often do dreams actually just mean nothing? Because I have this thing about me where if if someone is like, hey, I had this dream last night and the moment they start telling me what it is, I clock out because I don't care because it's just like, yeah, they're like, hey, I saw a bear and it had your face.
Yes. So what do I do with this information? I just go, well, that's crazy. Yeah.
You're insane. Not your say just like, well, cool. I'm going to go work on it. Right.
Exactly. Well, this is what we do when we're presented with something that we don't have a context for and we don't know what to do with it. Somebody just started talking a foreign language that you'd never heard before. You would do the same thing.
Like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay. Have a nice day. Bye bye.
But the moment you start learning the language, like I lived in Japan for a while, I lived in Spain for a while and I learned how to speak those languages and I know at first it was like, I can't communicate with these people. But the moment I started picking up a few phrases, it's like, oh my God, they're actually saying something. Yeah. Wait a minute.
It's all starting to make sense and then it becomes intriguing. So if you, that's why there's a value in a dream dictionary, I brought you guys one of my dream dictionaries. It's got some crazy symbols in there. And let me tell you what the dream dictionary says about that.
Maybe like, I'm not a dream like, I've had a dream like, I remember one in like 10 years. I have one from when I was a kid. Oh, let's talk about it. Yeah.
I would always be walking around neighborhoods that had never been in before. So there were neighborhoods that like my subconscious mind would create like inception almost and people that they were. Were they abandoned? No, they were like, it was very gray skies over like residential neighborhoods, but that didn't exist.
I'd never been to before. So were they, was it a consistent neighborhood that you would know? It was a different, it was different. It was different.
It was different. It was different. It never met before. And the wind would be blowing leaves, but there was no sound from the leaves.
And the finally people, I would look over at someone and they would be like looking straight ahead and then they would go like this. And they would look at me and then they would say something. They would go like this. And they would say stuff to me, but there was no sound.
And they would just be in my face, this glow, saying stuff to me. And then I'd wake up. Oh my God. So what was your feeling when you woke up from these dreams?
Did you like it? Was it scary? It was pretty fucking scary. It was just a weird neighborhood with like gray skies and weird people with no voice talking.
Okay. So can I throw in like a few thoughts of what I got? Sure. Everything and everybody that shows up in your dream is an aspect of you.
So every like the dreamer is everything. Carl Jung, the late great father of psychotherapy said the same thing. So I'm not making that up. So if it were my dream, I would say that a new neighborhood represents a new aspect of myself that I haven't yet explored.
So to me, that's a really cool, that's a really cool aspect. Because in a way, you could wake up from that dream and feel like you've explored territory. It's kind of like having read a book that you never actually read, but you know what's in there because some part of you so quickly figured that out, like your subconscious mind being so smart, you you explored a place that you've never had to physically go to. So that's amazing.
So people that are talking and words are, they're not really speaking words or they're not, it's not coming out audibly. So to me, if it were my dream, I'd feel like, okay, this is an, I'm venting an issue that I'm having with communication. Maybe I, maybe it's telling me I need to listen more. I need to figure out like often when somebody has a different communication style from us, we'll just kind of block them out like they don't count like whatever.
They're not my person, but maybe this dream is, if it's my dream, it's telling me I need to pay attention to people that speak differently than I do. And maybe I need to like really listen and get more intuitive so I understand what they mean and not get so caught up in their words. So I mean, I don't know, we could play with that. I was trying, tried so hard to listen, but they just never said anything.
Was there anybody or upset me? Was there anybody, I mean, in your life at that time that was speaking about things that you didn't understand that you couldn't relate to? I mean, it was when I was a kid, it could have been like, it could have been around the time like when my parents were getting divorced potentially. I don't know, something like that.
I'm not sure. Anything I, having to do with P perhaps? I don't think I had to do with P. But it could have, P was a friend of mine who, who fell off the side of the flatter.
Yeah. What? Yeah. There was one.
I was, I was, I was only had to eat this whole long. So my dad was stationed in Antarctica and we stumbled upon the side of the flatter. The last thing that Mike, which is very traumatic, the last thing that Mike heard was, and that was him falling into the cosmos. It said, and it's, and it's, and it's, it's, it's never, it's never left my mind.
Wait, so he died? Well, I mean, I can't do for sure. But he's, if anything, he's floating in space. Yeah.
But listen, I'll be honest with him. I, this story is, it's a respectful term. Thank you. I appreciate it.
I'll take it. The story is a weird place. There's a lot of tangent, and like left you behind like you were buddies, and all of a sudden he went south. Yeah, you call it that, yeah.
Listen, there's this flat. Alright, and I just have one more, this is a quick one, and I think this one might even be in your list. Another hard one for me is, there's people I really wanna just punch in the face. Uh huh.
And man, I hate when you throw a punch in your dream and it just doesn't go anywhere. It is like you're throwing a punch in a puddle of honey, or like molasses, where you're trying to run into, you're trying to get into that. But the punching, like I finally got him, and I'm just like, and it's usually to protect myself. And I go like this, and it's just like, oh.
I love what you just said. It's so important, it's not just about the dream, it's about what the dreamer says about it, because it's like what you just said, it's like trying to punch it, but it just didn't go anywhere. It's like the act of violence isn't necessarily gonna get you anywhere. It's like the dream wisdom is saying, like there's something else for you.
And anyway, so then trying to run and try to get somewhere. When we run, I mean, who are we running from? Usually something scary that's back there that we think is gonna hurt or kill us. But if it's all an aspect of ourselves, that some shadow part of us that is probably trying to deliver a gift, it's trying up some kind of wisdom, but it's in strange wrapping.
And we're like, no, but it's like this is diamond, this is gonna change your life. And you're like, no, so of course your dream is gonna slow it down. Usually running, there's obstacles that this life. I used to dream that I was running away from like lions, panthers, gators.
And then I finally decided I can't run. It doesn't work, the gator is just, it's there. So what'd you do, starting laying down? Sort of whooping the gators ass.
Yeah, whooping that ass. Yeah, what'd that do? You would fight me and I'd be like, ah, ah, like going in. Did you guys ever have that?
Or was that that particular one with the gators? Or lions or not? It was like big cats. It was like a thing with big cats.
Usually with me it would be more like monsters. Oh my God. Okay, so can I say one thing I know you've got, you're like itching here. Yeah, you're gonna cross on it.
Okay, you go first and then I'll talk about your gators. I think I speak on the gators. Alright, so any big animal? I mean, if everyone that shows up in your dream is an aspect of you, to me a big animal is like a part of your animal instincts, a part of your power that has been suppressed.
Because normally like in order to grow up and get loved and be a part of society, you have to be a good boy, you have to be nice, you can't be super like rowdy, you can't hit. So a lot of us have suppressed our animal instincts. And we, even though you guys are like, you have this platform to have a place to express, which is super healthy, super great. But most people, and maybe before, you didn't have that space to, I would say a gator, to me symbolizes anger.
And if you're a nice calm person that gets along with everybody, then there's some part of your anger that's like, God, I just wanted to, so it's a part of you that if integrated, that's not like the goal of the dream is to now become an a gator and go eating everybody. No, but to integrate it, but to integrate it, because every part of you, even that, I mean to me, I think the shadow characters that we run from are the most interesting of all. Dreams of an alligator symbolizes the predatory energy in your life. Or the fear of being eaten alive.
Is that a dream dictionary? It's like you wrote that. That's kind of amazing. That's strange.
I got a whole section of a dream about Costco. That's what I was going to read. That's what I was going to read. I don't know.
Dreams of Costco reveal your attitudes and feelings about abundance, and that you're feeling the need to stockpile and store out for lean times. Perhaps some sort of zombie apocalypse. Oh, there's a sort of buggling scenario. There's a zombie zombie.
Actually, I think I left zombie out of there, which is very sad. In the next edition of this, I'll have to add zombie apocalypse. You got good ones in here. Here's my quesadilla.
Quesadilla. Dreams of a quesadilla. Symbolize circular patterns with regards to the way you nurture yourself. Food is all about nurturing.
Yeah. Okay. Here we are again. I had to see what penis meant.
What dreaming of a penis meant. Had to do it. Go there. It's a dream of a penis represent masculine power.
Dreams of an erect penis represent virility. But potency, sexuality, strength and feeling of being competent in the world and capable of producing and manifesting your creative ventures. So it's not your, it's not going to read the least. Survey says.
Oh, oh my God. If a penis is limp, this represents feelings of powerlessness and emasculation. So it sounds like it's good to dream about this. We talk about Dick's quite a bit on the show.
I know. When we get to it. We're doing it really well. Yes, we are.
You have to say it really like 20 of them, right? I think we're being like respectful. It's like a trap. We call it Dick's sand.
It's like Dick's sand which is Dick's top. Oh, here's a problem. Right before you said that, I was just going straight to Dick Land and here's why I'm in. I'm calling him.
One way ticket. When I was also younger, right around the time when my wiener started to feel fuzzy, I used to have a dream about. And I mentioned this on the very first episode with a sex therapist. So old that we hadn't even taken a Polaroid from it.
The only the one after it was such an old episode. And she said to me, what is your biggest, like, wish or sexual wish in life? And it comes from a dream of mine, which was a dream that I had when I was younger, that I was having seated intercourse, sexual intercourse, well tied to a large bundle of balloons floating through the sky. And so it was a seated chair where me and a woman were able to sit, attached at the penile, floating underneath a couple of hundred red balloons through the sky.
And this was such an incredible moment. It was incredible. Beautiful. That time's in flying and sex.
And that's amazing. And I won't think I've ever heard that dream. And here's the most important part of that dream. I woke up from it and I was covered in.
You had a wet dream. Plays. Plays. I was covered in.
OK. And so to this day, I still want to have balloon sex. And I told the sex therapist. As you should go do that.
Sometimes you need to fulfill these dreams. If someone from porno is watching this, I am 100% down to have balloon sex if you'll pay for the contraption and provide the one. Oh, that. Well, I'm not going to pay for the contraption.
