In this podcast, we share practical advice from a spiritual perspective on how to live fully, love deeply, and engage authentically so you can create a life and business with more impact, influence, and income. Welcome to live, love, engage. 0:00:52 Gloria Grace Rand Namaste. This show today is going to be, I feel really, really great. It is all about dreams and how we can make use of them better in our lives. And I just really excited to have our guest. But before I bring her on first, I just want to introduce myself, especially if you are new here. So I am Gloria Grace, and I help female entrepreneurs release negative thought patterns like self doubt so you can grow a business that aligns with your soul's purpose. 0:01:28 Gloria Grace Rand And today's guest is very much in alignment with that as well. Her name is Megan Mary, and she is a dream worker, intuitive, and author who specializes in the analysis of women's dreams to promote transformative personal growth and enlightenment. And she has founded the Women's Dream Enlightenment podcast to help women with that as well as well as some other programs that she does, which I think she'll be talking about today. And she's just got a very interesting story to tell. And without further ado, I'm going to bring her on right now. Welcome to live love, engage, Megan. 0:02:11 Megan Mary Thank you, Grace. It's a pleasure to be here. 0:02:14 Gloria Grace Rand Well, I'm really so intrigued by what you are going to be sharing with our listeners and viewers today because I have some interesting dreams sometimes, and so I'm curious to know more about that. But before we really delve into, you know, what you do, I want, I love asking our guests a little bit more about how you got to be where you are today. What was the journey that kind of brought you into? Yeah, helping women with understanding their dreams, I guess. 0:02:49 Megan Mary Yes. So I was always fascinated by dreams growing up, and I think that I did look into it a little bit as a teenager and as a college age, looked into dream dictionaries and things like that, started reading books about dreams, trying to figure out what they meant, and knew that what I was getting was not quite everything that was out there to know. And so I think that I let them go a little bit in my thirties and just sort of stopped listening to them. 0:03:22 Megan Mary And then midway in my life, I ended up really having a lot of medical issues that caused me to decide that I needed to do some real mind body spirit healing, not just the body healing part. And I was doing a lot of meditation and I was asking for that spiritual guidance. And dreams came back in as one of those portals of spiritual intelligence, one of those ways that I really was able to start to receive information that I was seeking. 0:03:58 Megan Mary And that really became for me, almost an emphatic calling at that time to spread that word and to be the catalyst for other women to use their dreams for their own empowerment. 0:04:15 Gloria Grace Rand Very cool. I'm like, I've got so many questions I want to ask. Things are going through my head. And I know one of the things, even when I was introducing this, when I was writing the post for it today, was doing a little research about dreams. And even just what people, what Research has been done. 0:04:37 Gloria Grace Rand About dreams and misconceptions that people have about dreams. Before we maybe get into all of this, what exactly do you do with clients? How do you help them understand their dreams? Because dreams seem like a personal type of thing. What do you do and how do you analyze them, I guess? 0:05:00 Megan Mary I guess the way that I work with dreams is very much like the way a transformational life coach would work with you in terms of using dreams as a doorway to your subconscious and using the stories that come through your dreams to help you better understand yourself. So whatever your preconceptions are, your blockages, whatever you have brought into this world, your behavior patterns, and also your hopes and dreams, your aspirations, your talents, all of those things are reflected in your dreams. 0:05:40 Megan Mary And when you're able to connect with them and understand your dream language, then you're actually able to connect with your higher self, to connect with your greater purpose, to understand why you're here and how things could be different in your trajectory in your life. So it's very much a self development methodology as much as it also is a creativity catalyst and a modality for healing. 0:06:09 Gloria Grace Rand And what, something just occurred to me because I know, I think I've read this or maybe talked to other people. There will be, there's like websites online where they say, you know, oh, figure out your dreams. You know, here's the symbolism of, like, water. Water means something. You know, if you experience this or if you're on an airplane, it means something like this. Do you find there's any credence to that? Or is it really more unique to each person? 0:06:36 Megan Mary I feel that it is very unique to each dreamer. And I have a blog post where I talk about breaking up with your dream dictionary. Because I really feel that when we look to the dream dictionary, we're getting a generic meaning that is not coming from our subconscious. It may be a culturally held generic meaning. It may be a historic or a mythological meaning, but it is not necessarily the meaning for us, because our dreams are comprised of everything we've ever experienced, and our experience is unique to each and every one of us. 0:07:18 Megan Mary So I put in high esteem the dreamer's experience and the dreamer’s associations. So rather than put the meaning on the dream, I work with the dreamer to pull out their own personal subconscious associations so that they can start to decode their own dream language and understand that that water or that airplane or whatever it might be for them is completely different, even between two people. 0:07:50 Gloria Grace Rand I'm thinking now as well. Then, do you rely on your own intuition, or is it sort of in, I guess maybe in conversation with a client then, and helping them to kind of figure out, as you say, that it is unique to each person? What do you think about that? Is it a little bit of both? 0:08:13 Megan Mary Yes, it is both, because I am an intuitive, and so we're dealing with something that is a little otherworldly here. So dreams are definitely a different beyond space and time. They're not in this 3d reality. And so it's difficult, even for people who are very skilled at this, to bring those elements of the dream into this level of consciousness. And that's because of the alteration in brainwave states that happen from when we're sleeping to when we're awake. 0:08:48 Megan Mary And so it's, it's both because I'm asking a series of questions and I'm discussing the dream content with the dreamer, but I'm also listening and watching and feeling and all those other senses that are
