Series 8, Episode 6: Why Do Dead Relatives Turn Up In Our Dreams? And what do we do about it?

In this episode Laura Is joined by Marta Aarli, a dream expert and psychotherapist, to explore the profound connections between dreams and our ancestors. They discuss why the dead like to come back to us in dreams and how this can lead to intergenerational healing. Marta uses the metaphor of the 'Night Forest' for the realm of dreams and looks at how to work with the significance of ancestral messages and embedded symbols to resolve inherited trauma. The discussion also touches on the role of nature in our dreams, and the reciprocal relationship we have with the land and its beings.   Marta Aarli can be found here: https://www.marta-aarli.com/ and is shortly publishing her book: Dreaming in the Night Forest: Pathways to Personal, Collective and Ancestral Healing.   Your dreams are worth inquiring about too!
