Ep 35: Dreams - Soul Journeys, Freedom, Nightmares, and the Mystery of Sleep

What are dreams and what do they mean? What do they tell us about our true selves? What does it really mean to ‘dream big’? How do we follow up on those dreams and what happens when they become nightmares?

In this week’s episode Jost and Leon enter the dream world and discuss what happens when we go to sleep, where our soul goes, and the messages our body sends us through dreams. When we sleep our awareness is in the spiritual world and we aren’t impacted by constraints of physical reality. Dreams are associated with freedom, with infinite possibilities, and with the ability to live on our own terms and abide by our own rules. But in the real world realising your dreams is hard work, and when we try to follow outdated constructs (like the Australian or American dream) it’s easy to become disappointed and disillusioned about where we’re headed.

Jost talks about dream analysis in Traditional Chinese Medicine and how dreams bring symptoms forward that need to be looked at and corrected. He also talks about the soul’s journey during sleep, how it exits the body and what happens when it returns. Jost and Leon discuss possession and creating from within, and how their different experiences in the past set them on their respective paths to the inner world. They also talk about the dream of music and self expression, lucid dreaming, the hard work behind magic, and the pursuit of not perfection - but process.

To dream we must first experience limitations and restrictions, and be faced with something seemingly impossible. To have a dream then means to uncover what is suppressed, to break free, and to move forward and create the new. So it’s time to reevaluate and redefine dreams, and to resolve the things that are holding us back.
