The Dream Download™ – Dream Questions Answered
Are you having a recurring dream? Do you have a question about a particular symbol that you’d like to explore (because dream dictionaries and Google can’t always help)? I’ve been exploring dreams for more than 20 years and I love getting asked questions about them; I’ve noticed over the years I’m asked questions with similar themes.

It’s not you, it’s them. How society gets in the way of our grief
There are no stages of grief. At least not in the way they’ve been portrayed. A lot of people talk about them like five things on a to-do list, that we have to achieve in order to “finish" grieving: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. But of course, it's just not that simple. In fact,Continue reading "It’s not you, it’s them. How society gets in the way of our grief"
