Dreaming with the Deceased is part of our monthly series in 2025 called Grief Conversations.

The dreams of our nightly theater reveal precious mystical material. In the words of Jodorowsky, “One does not go to the theater to escape from oneself, but to reestablish contact with the mystery that we all are.” How can we embrace dreaming and the visitations that might come every night?

To dream is to take a journey and when we face the personal loss of a loved one, dreams become a portal through which to connect to their essence and receive communications.

Dreams with the deceased are a completely natural and exceptional kind of dream that can offer a deep healing for the living and even for the souls on the other side. Many long for ways to navigate and honor experiences encountering deceased loved ones.

In this time together, we will reflect on frameworks and techniques guiding us on how to be open to dreams from our deceased beloveds and explore our dream harvests.

Honoring that you are your own dream’s authority, we will explore how your dream practice can benefit your community.

We will explore:
-Dream incubation, a way of inviting dreams for specific purposes
-Dream re-entry, the art of getting back into a dream to bring more insight
-How to increase dream re-call, our ability to remember dreamtime
-How to determine and take appropriate action in the waking world
And more…

We will touch on how to better appreciate our dreams, from fragmented to vivid, as part of your connection to the world beyond the world. Our departed loved ones and allies can become guides for us from the other side. We will ponder on how the Dreamworld is connected to dying and can assist us in developing our connection to our own mortality, and death itself. In so many traditions alike, dreaming is an incredible opportunity (if we take it) to prepare for our big journey, death.

This time will invite you to deepen your reverence for dreams and further integrate your personal experiences in dreaming those who have passed.
