WEBVTT 1 00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:20.120 Hello everybody, and welcome to Psychic Teachers. 2 00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:21.719 I'm your host, Samittha Fay. 3 00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:23.280 And I'm Good Bowen. 4 00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:27.879 And today we have a super special, amazing guest coming 5 00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:31.320 on our show to talk about the fascinating, magical world 6 00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:34.600 of dreams and so much more. Today we're joined by 7 00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:37.759 Teresa Chung, whose life story is as fascinating as the 8 00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:41.079 subject she writes about. Raised in the family of psychics 9 00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:45.039 and traveling spiritualists, Teresa grew up on the road following 10 00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:48.600 her mother joy of working clairvoyant as she traveled across 11 00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:53.359 the UK given readings that unconventional Bohemian childhood immersed her 12 00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:57.560 in the spiritual practices from a very early age. Encouraged 13 00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:01.840 to explore her into the abilities, Teresa's earliest memories is 14 00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:05.000 attending a spirit meeting organized by her mother in Ann 15 00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:08.159 and by just fourteen years old, she was already giving 16 00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:13.159 public numerology readings. Teresa took charge of her education, homeschooling 17 00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:16.159 herself from the age of sixteen. She went on to 18 00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:20.200 graduate from King's College, Cambridge, earning a degree in theology 19 00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:24.280 in English. Initially with plans to enter the priesthood, her 20 00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:27.760 career path ultimately led her in a different direction, spanning 21 00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.719 roles in publishing, teaching, and working as a health and 22 00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:35.040 fitness instructor, each chapter adding so much depth and perspectives 23 00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:38.640 to the wonderful work she does today. Her books include 24 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.239 The Encyclopedia of Birthdays, The Dream Dictionary, The Little Book 25 00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:46.879 of Intuition, Your Twin Flitting Journey, Angel Babies, and so 26 00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:48.040 many more. 27 00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:50.400 Welcome to the show, Teresa. 28 00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:54.319 Oh, welcome Samantha and David. It's a real honor to 29 00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:57.879 be here. I respect to all the healing work you do. 30 00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:01.159 It's lovely to be in your space. Really it is. 31 00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:02.000 I feel honored. 32 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:05.560 Thank you, thank you. We're not even strong way to begin. 33 00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:09.759 I'm not either. Funny when you listen to your bio, 34 00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:12.159 because I do, obviously, I like you do. I do 35 00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:14.960 a lot of interviewing myself and it's really surreal actually 36 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:17.000 to be at the other end of it and you're 37 00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:21.479 listening to this bio and think, who is this person? 38 00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:27.800 Well, you should be impressed. That's an amazing, amazing biology 39 00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:30.280 and it's just the tip of the icebery. 40 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:33.520 Oh there's so much. Yeah, I like everybody. I found 41 00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:37.240 that everybody's story is fascinating, and that's the joy of 42 00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:39.479 aging as well. You can look back at all these 43 00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:42.840 incarnations of yourself, you know, at different ages and stages, 44 00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:45.199 and all the learning you can do. And what I 45 00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:47.680 actually a practice I do a lot is to go 46 00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:50.479 back mental time travel. To go back and to give 47 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:54.319 some healing to my younger self, my poor misguided younger 48 00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:58.319 self who is so trying so hard and making a 49 00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.240 lot of mistakes along the way, and to have compassion 50 00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:04.199 and to sort of parent myself mentally, if you know 51 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:06.319 what I'm trying to say. There, I think the very 52 00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:09.159 healing thing to do, to say well, and I have 53 00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:12.120 to think now that my future self, who's ten years 54 00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:14.439 older than me, will be is here right now and 55 00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:20.560 saying it's okay you didn't the interview. You spoke from 56 00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:22.599 the heart. I would like to think my future self 57 00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:27.599 is always there with an invisible presence, just willing me on. 58 00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:30.599 What a lovely thing to think of yourself one a 59 00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:31.719 continuum like that. 60 00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:35.240 I do the long self across time. I think that's 61 00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:39.159 a very healing perspective. And loved it all versions of 62 00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:42.800 yourself with unconditional love, because so many of us we 63 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:45.639 beat ourselves up and we are our own worst enemies, 64 00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:49.439 and for some reason, when we step into that observer role, 65 00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:52.199 like when you observe your past and you observe your 66 00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:54.520 or you think about your future, you go into that 67 00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:57.919 observer that meditative role. Studies show, because I do work 68 00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:00.879 a lot with neuroscientists and psychologists these day, that when 69 00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:05.159 we step outside ourselves and observe ourselves in the third person, 70 00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:07.719 rather than thinking ourselves in the first person as we do, 71 00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:12.000 for some reason, we're automatically more forgiving and more compassionate. 72 00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.159 Is not interesting that if it's all in the now, 73 00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:17.519 and you know, mindfulness is all about in the now 74 00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:20.639 and the first person, that actually we find it harder 75 00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:24.079 to be kind to ourselves, and we really do need 76 00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:25.879 to be kind to ourselves, because if we can't be 77 00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:28.959 kind to ourselves, we can't be kind to other people, 78 00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:30.319 I think. 79 00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:33.800 And that's a hard, hard lesson to learn, is it? Yeah, 80 00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:37.199 it really is this. I was reading your materials and 81 00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:41.079 listening to you in preparation for this tart today. One 82 00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:45.720 of the things that most interests me personally is your 83 00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:51.000 work in melding and blending together the psychic the metaphysical 84 00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:55.399 aspect of ourselves and the science part of ourselves, and 85 00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:57.560 of course when I was aware of your work with 86 00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:01.319 the eoetic science, folks my heart, can you talk a 87 00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:02.560 little bit about that for us? 88 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:05.279 I can. As I said, I was a true believer. 89 00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:08.160 I had no choice really about a spiritual path because 90 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.839 I was born into it. So I just accepted it. 91 00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:13.439 I didn't think I had special abilities myself. I didn't 92 00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:16.279 think I was psychic or had mediumistic abilities. But when 93 00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:19.439 you're surrounded by people who are so believed that they have, 94 00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:22.360 when you go to medianship demonstrations and you see how 95 00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:25.439 healing it can be, I kind of like, well, okay, 96 00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:28.800 maybe I haven't got those extraordinary gifts. I used to 97 00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.079 think of it like that, that there are only certain 98 00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:33.839 people who had these gifts. I now know that it's 99 00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:35.879 within all of us. What we lack is belief in it. 100 00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:38.079 But that was a journey you get there. So I 101 00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:40.399 was a believer, and as I said, I was blessed 102 00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:43.480 and honored to somehow. That's the story in itself. Get 103 00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:47.920 a place at King's College, Cambridge at a time where yeah, 104 00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:50.600 angels must have helped me there. There's a big story 105 00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:54.160 about that. But when I was there, I studied alongside academics, 106 00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:55.959 of course, and that's where I was very much on 107 00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:59.680 the Christian spiritualist pass. I fully went to the theology 108 00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:02.360 to apartment there the Faculty of Divinity. Isn't that wonderful 109 00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:05.600 studying at the Faculty of Divinity? Wanting to enter the 110 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:08.519 church to be one of the first female priests, that 111 00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:11.759 was my dream. But I then was exposed to all 112 00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:16.079 world religions and like many people, became spiritual rather than 113 00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:19.120 religious because I realized they're all paths to the same goal. 114 00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:23.439 And then I use my academic ability, I guess to 115 00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:26.120 spa with skeptics, because you can't go to a place 116 00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:30.000 like Cambridge without having your beliefs completely scowered by people 117 00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:31.800 who are on the other side of the spectrum and 118 00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:34.360 actually learn to respect them as well, because skeptics are 119 00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:36.319 truth seekers, they just go about it in a very 120 00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:39.839 different way. And then I had the opportunity to write 121 00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:42.079 book after book in this areas, but they were all 122 00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:42.920 believers books. 123 00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:43.160 You know. 124 00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:45.240 I would start the book with the premise, I believe 125 00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:48.759 I can't convince you, but here's what I've experienced. And 126 00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:50.759 other people would write to me and I'd put my 127 00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:54.720 stories their stories in my book. String it together, and 128 00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:57.480 these were my first Sunday Times best sellers, where an 129 00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:00.600 Angel called my name, an Angel changed my life. I 130 00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:02.839 did about twenty of them. I think that such was 131 00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:05.839 the appetite at the time, but I came very much 132 00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:09.279 from I believe, and it's a matter of belief. There 133 00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:11.639 is no proof, but that doesn't matter. If you believe, 134 00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:14.439 that's all that matters. But about ten years ago I 135 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:18.040 wanted to give something more. I had the honor of 136 00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:22.959 doing the HarperCollins element Encyclopedia series. I started with Psychic 137 00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:25.120 World and eight Z. It was four hundred thousand words 138 00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:28.480 of everything psychic, then twenty thousand Dreams, which later became 139 00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:31.439 the Dream Dictionary, then Birthdays, which literally became a birthday. 140 00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:34.720 They sliced them down into paperbacks, and in that again 141 00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:37.279 I kind of acknowledged that there isn't that much science, 142 00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:39.399 but it kind of doesn't matter. But I began to 143 00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:42.360 think that it did matter. I wanted to think, where 144 00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:44.800 is the science? And so I started to do some 145 00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:48.279 outreach and the first place that I reached out to 146 00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:52.800 was the Institute of Noetic Sciences. And that's where maybe, 147 00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:58.279 just maybe my Cambridge academic background helped because I've often 148 00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:01.480 wondered what on earth was I doing there, but it did. 149 00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:03.879 It kind of was a window into it. Because these 150 00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:06.800 are scientists, they work with data and whatever. So maybe 151 00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:09.439 if I had approached them saying, look, I'm a medium 152 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.759 or I'm a channeler, they may not have entered a 153 00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:16.680 dialogue with me. And I remember saying that I want 154 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:18.879 to talk to you. And I did loads of videos 155 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:21.639 and interviews with them, and then I eventually collaborated on 156 00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:24.680 a book with doctor Julian Mossbridge, who's now a fellow 157 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:27.680 of the Institute of Noetic Sciences. Dean Raadan wrote the 158 00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:31.519 ForWord and that book started me on an incredible journey. 159 00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:34.159 It was called the Premonition Code, where you had a 160 00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:39.799 neuroscientist and a spiritualist working together and realizing how close 161 00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.639 we were when it came to dreams and dreams being 162 00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.639 pre cognitive. Because Julian Mossbridge is one of the world's 163 00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:49.639 leading experts in the study of presentiment, which is the 164 00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:53.080 body being able to sense the future ahead of time, 165 00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:57.360 and her research actually is credited in Dan's brown recent novel, 166 00:08:57.399 --> 00:09:00.519 Secret of Secrets. It's one of really, yeah, she's doing 167 00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:02.960 so many things now all over the world. Incredible and 168 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:04.919 we still keep in touch. She was actually on my 169 00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:07.440 radio show as Samantha was a couple of weeks ago 170 00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:10.559 at doctor Julian Mosbridge talking about what she's doing in 171 00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:14.399 future forward research. And so this collaboration has just grown 172 00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:17.360 and grown. I've now blogged with the Institute of Noetic Sciences, 173 00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:19.840 but not just the Institute of Noetic Sciences. I also 174 00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:28.600 reach out to other institutions researching afterlife science, channeling mediumship scientifically, 175 00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:33.200 and I love working with these scientists because they are 176 00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:36.879 first and foremost scientists. They're not doing these studies to 177 00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:41.679 prove necessarily psychic abilities exist. They're treating it as data 178 00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:45.480 as part of the human experience. And right now where 179 00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:48.720 we are at is really exciting in that the overwhelming 180 00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:52.720 amount of scientific and psychological research shows that even though 181 00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:57.320 we don't understand psychic experiences, they are part of the 182 00:09:57.399 --> 00:10:00.840 human condition, and people who don't expec experience them like 183 00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:04.159 a dream coming true, or a hunch playing out, or 184 00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:07.440 a sense of connection with the other side someone who's departed. 185 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:10.279 Ah in the minority, And there was me all these 186 00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:13.240 decades thinking I was writing for a very niche audience 187 00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:17.679 I'm actually writing for the mainstream. About ninety percent of 188 00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:24.320 people have had an uncanny, unexplained experience. What they lack 189 00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:27.240 and the journey of my life I lacked it as well, 190 00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:30.639 was true belief in it because I'm always second guessing 191 00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:33.240 and putting it down to one of those things that 192 00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:37.399 must be a logical explanation all the time. Maybe that's 193 00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:39.879 because I did, you know, study at Cambridge, and that's 194 00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:42.360 what I was trained to do. But the journey of 195 00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:47.320 my life is to actually realize that thing happened, and yes, 196 00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:50.960 it's possible. It could be paranormal, could be super normal. 197 00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:55.519 That is a very possible explanation. I need to start 198 00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:57.919 believing in it more, and I'm still on that journey, 199 00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:00.799 but I'm getting there because I do think that self 200 00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:05.519 belief is the holy Grail. Having interviewed many many leading 201 00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:11.840 psychics and mediums, what I think they have that sets 202 00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:15.519 them apart. They have such rock solid belief in their 203 00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:19.399 spiritual DNA, in the fact and even if they get 204 00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:23.080 a psychic hit wrong, it doesn't matter. They treat it 205 00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:26.279 as a learning experience. They explain to me what it's 206 00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:28.840 like the Internet. Sometimes it's really strong, other times it's 207 00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:32.679 really weak and things get missed and it doesn't phase them. 208 00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:34.960 If they do make a prediction or have a sense 209 00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:38.440 that doesn't necessarily play out, they see what that happened 210 00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:41.399 For a reason, it was to teach me something else 211 00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:45.879 about my psychic ability. So I think actually, anyone who's 212 00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:50.919 working on their self esteem is actually, without realizing it, 213 00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:54.639 a secret psychic. Because when you have self esteem, you 214 00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:58.320 start making the right decisions, You start sensing other people 215 00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:02.279 what their true intentions are, you start putting up boundaries 216 00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:06.159 all this work we talk about in our psychic work. 217 00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:09.919 You start recalling your dreams more, and then you know, 218 00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:13.240 tapping into your dreams as a source of wisdom and 219 00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:15.720 dreams actually have been so good to me, Samantha and 220 00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:19.440 deb because although you're right, I write about all aspects 221 00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:21.320 of mind, body and soul. I think I've written about 222 00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:23.840 one hundred books. There isn't a topic in this field. 223 00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:27.039 I probably haven't written some guide to it somewhere down 224 00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:29.519 the line these last thirty years. But if for some 225 00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:33.039 reason it has been dreams that the media, especially over 226 00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:36.240 here in the UK, because I'm in the privileged position 227 00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:39.080 these last five years now to be a regular on 228 00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:43.000 ITV this morning, where they will open up the phone 229 00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.039 lines to the nation, have you got a dream for Terresa? 230 00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:50.440 And people will phone in with their mad dream, whatever 231 00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:53.720 it was, and I will try and help them understand it. 232 00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:56.159 But I'm very careful when I do these mainstream things 233 00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.080 because I do it on BBC Radio a lot here 234 00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:00.799 as well, because I know that the mainstream is quite 235 00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:03.720 cautious when you start saying there is an afterlife or 236 00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:07.080 you are psychic. I'm very careful to be balanced in it. 237 00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:10.399 But what they don't realize when they're giving a platform 238 00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:13.639 to dreams is they're giving a platform to soul. It 239 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:16.039 is the door for me dream work. It's the door 240 00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:21.679 for the mainstream to start understanding that we are psychic 241 00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:26.480 beings having a human experience. Everyone who's recorded a dream 242 00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:29.759 is psychic. That's their first connection. Because we don't know 243 00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:31.960 why we dream. We don't know where we go these 244 00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:37.159 incredible stories and experiences. Scientists do not know why we dream. 245 00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:38.360 They don't. 246 00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:42.279 It wasn't told the mid nineteen sixties that they actually 247 00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:45.120 started looking at as seriously, which I think is fascinating. 248 00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:46.960 I want to talk about. 249 00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:51.440 Sometimes the jilt that comes with precognitive dreams. 250 00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:54.759 But let's take our first quick break. We'll be right back. 251 00:13:57.440 --> 00:14:01.320 Hey everybody, it's deb If you want to dive deeply 252 00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:05.720 into the magic and mystery of numbers, June is the time. 253 00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:09.879 I'm so excited to be working with Sarah Renee in 254 00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:14.000 our Sacred Summer series.

Thanks so much, everybody. 262 00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:51.639 Welcome back, Tonisa. 263 00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:52.559 I want to ask you. 264 00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:55.360 We get a lot of emails from listeners who say 265 00:14:55.759 --> 00:14:57.639 I have so many precognitive dreams. 266 00:14:57.679 --> 00:14:58.320 I'm called the. 267 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:01.039 Grim Reaper in my family because I can dream of 268 00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:02.360 someone before they die. 269 00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:04.039 So my question is two parts. 270 00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:07.399 Why do you think so many preconditive dreams are negative. 271 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:08.600 In nature on the outset? 272 00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:12.919 And why do we have them if we can't really 273 00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:16.000 do a lot about them? Which often leads to guilt. 274 00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:20.360 Well, first of all, every dream we have, in my opinion, 275 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:22.480 because I've done a lot of dream research, I started 276 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:25.720 with them being psychological and about self awareness and about 277 00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:28.799 understanding yourself better. I now have moved to the position 278 00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:32.279 which many dream researchers are now moving towards, actually that 279 00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:37.720 every dream has a precognitive element. Every dream is showing 280 00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:41.679 you a potential future mindset or situation that you're going 281 00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:44.919 to encounter. If people could approach it that way, I 282 00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:47.919 think that they the fear of it would go because 283 00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:52.399 what I'm saying is potential. Because dreams, they are a 284 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:57.240 mirror of your current mindset. They show you symbolically how 285 00:15:57.320 --> 00:16:02.399 you are feeling about your life right now, your relationships, 286 00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:04.919 what's going on in your life, your relationship with yourself. 287 00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:10.519 They give you a symbolic snapshot. Why is this precognitive? 288 00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:15.159 It's because obviously your unconscious beliefs about yourself are what 289 00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:18.080 you tend to attract. And that's why we have this 290 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:20.600 very common experience of dejas reve when you have a 291 00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:23.799 dream and a couple of days later it plays out. 292 00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:26.960 Now to go to your question about why are so 293 00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:31.720 many dreams? Anxiety ridden, and what to do if you 294 00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:34.480 think you have a dream that's going to predict something awful. Well, 295 00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:36.360 first of all, why the anxiety ridden? 296 00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:36.519 Well? 297 00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:40.320 Sadly, many of us have a very tortured relationship with ourselves. 298 00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:44.000 It is again the journey of our lives to understand ourselves, 299 00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:47.320 both our shadow and our light, and fall in love 300 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:51.480 with that complexity and have understanding and compassion and enter 301 00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:53.919 into a dialogue with it. Most of us, when we 302 00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:57.440 have toxic impulses, we bury it or deny it, and 303 00:16:57.480 --> 00:16:59.679 that's where the problem comes, and that's where it surfaces 304 00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:02.879 in night, because that part of ourselves wants to be 305 00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:05.720 noticed most of the time. It just wants you to 306 00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:08.440 know that it's there, and it wants you wants to 307 00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:13.880 be understood because often toxic impulses and negative thoughts formed 308 00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:16.400 to protect us at a time in our life when 309 00:17:16.440 --> 00:17:19.640 we are very vulnerable, and we need to say, look, 310 00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:22.440 I understand you had good intentions that you're trying to 311 00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:25.559 protect me, but I don't need that anymore. I'm becoming 312 00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:28.519 more self aware. Thank you for the work you've done. 313 00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:31.400 If you can do that to negative thoughts that you have, 314 00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:34.599 they are a form of protection You can see it 315 00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:37.680 that way, they will fade away. And I would love 316 00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:40.720 more people to wake up with happy dreams. It breaks 317 00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:44.480 my heart, like you, the majority of my email inbox 318 00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:48.079 or my messaging inbox, ninety five percent of those dreams 319 00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:51.200 are anxiety ones, and I think that is a common 320 00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:53.960 theme across the globe. I want more people to write 321 00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:58.039 to me about dreams, about dancing and singing, celebrating. We 322 00:17:58.079 --> 00:18:01.240 would like bed too, because if you can dream it, 323 00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:04.359 because the waking the mind doesn't know the difference between 324 00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:07.279 the dreaming state and the waking state. If you can 325 00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:10.400 incubate a dream where you see yourself happy, where you 326 00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:14.440 see yourself succeeding, where you see yourself fulfilled and doing extraordinary, 327 00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:17.039 wild and wonderful things, I'm telling you you are so 328 00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:20.240 close to manifesting it in your waking life because the 329 00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:22.880 fact that you can dream it means that your mind 330 00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:26.599 thinks you're capable of it, right if it experienced it 331 00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:29.960 in the dream state. It is the most neglected manifesting 332 00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:33.279 tool dream work. Disney got it right. If you can 333 00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:36.839 dream it when you're asleep, your chances of doing it 334 00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:42.200 in waking life are so dramatically escalate because think about it, 335 00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:46.359 your mind believes it can happen, so it creates this 336 00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:50.039 scenario for you at night. We all know that perception 337 00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:53.799 creates reality. But the trouble is most of us, it's 338 00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:56.839 our conscious perception that the stories we tell ourselves, what 339 00:18:56.920 --> 00:18:59.799 we don't really know is are unconscious what deep down 340 00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:03.359 our beliefs are. Again, that's why dream work is so powerful, 341 00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:06.759 because it shines a night light on what we truly 342 00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:10.759 believe underneath those myths we tell ourselves. I mean, you 343 00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:12.839 can do all the affirmations you want in the world, 344 00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:15.319 I am enough, I'm beautiful. But if you don't deep 345 00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:18.599 down truly believe it or understand why you don't believe it, 346 00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:21.240 it's not going to work. It's a band aid. Dream 347 00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:25.359 work will show you exactly where you are, with brutal honesty, 348 00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:29.559 your relationship with yourself, and what it is attracting or 349 00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:32.000 repelling in your life, and that's why it's so powerful. 350 00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:36.240 Dreams do not lie. So dream work is actually for me. 351 00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:40.279 It should be the start of all personal growth and 352 00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:44.640 spiritual work, because until you can get that unconscious core 353 00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:49.519 more harmonious, everything you do on the outside is going 354 00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:52.599 to be is not going to be as rewarding it 355 00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:54.759 as it could be. But if you do have a 356 00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:58.519 lot of dreams which play out, first of all, it 357 00:19:58.599 --> 00:20:02.599 is a cause for celebration. It's again showing that we 358 00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:05.599 are all psychic beings having a human experience. This is 359 00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:11.000 so common, it's extraordinarily common. What I want to say 360 00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:14.759 is that what so many people have this experience. They 361 00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:17.119 have a dream and elements of that dream play out. 362 00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:22.519 Wow wow Wow, celebrate this. Do not be afraid of it. 363 00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:26.880 If there's nothing you can have done to prevent something. 364 00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:29.960 You know, if you do have a dream, say well 365 00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:32.079 you see a friend or a loved one in a 366 00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:36.920 compromising or traumatic position. There's no harm in telling them that. 367 00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:40.160 But then is that person's journey. None of us are 368 00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:45.559 responsible for the personal and psychic journey of anyone else, 369 00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:48.920 just contrary to what we may think. Maybe children are vulnerable, 370 00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:52.200 adults it's slightly different. But most people it's their part. 371 00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:55.440 You can share it with people if you've had a dream, 372 00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:58.759 and actually I've had people sometimes telling me they've dreamt 373 00:20:58.759 --> 00:21:03.039 about me. It's really powerful. When someone messages to you 374 00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:07.480 about that, think, wow, I figured in their unconscious it's 375 00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:11.880 really Most people will not react negatively when you say that, 376 00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:16.079 and it might actually encourage them to exercise more caution, 377 00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:19.359 or you might have picked up on something that they're 378 00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:21.680 not telling you about and it will be an opportunity 379 00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:24.680 for them to open up. So always, if you feel 380 00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:27.759 comfortable and safe to do so comfortable and safe to 381 00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:31.720 do so. I cannot underline that enough. Do share your 382 00:21:31.839 --> 00:21:35.000 dream stories. But also the most important thing you can 383 00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:37.640 do for yourself and others is to keep a dream journal, 384 00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:40.160 because the only way to prove that you are a 385 00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:44.400 precognitive being definitively is to have a record. Again, working 386 00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:47.359 with scientists, I have learned they don't want after the 387 00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:50.960 events narratives. Well I thought that or I dreamt that. 388 00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:54.359 They say, where's the proof? You need proof with a 389 00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:58.240 time stamp, you know, if it's easier to speak into 390 00:21:58.240 --> 00:22:01.599 a microphone, that is a amazing and then send it 391 00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:03.880 to places like the Institute of Noetic Sciences. This is 392 00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:07.400 what they're studying. But it's no good saying it it happened. 393 00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:11.799 Start becoming a psychic detective, a citizen scientist, and write 394 00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:15.920 down your dreams and use the most important tool for 395 00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:20.039 dream work, which many dream therapists actually neglect, which is hindsight. 396 00:22:20.680 --> 00:22:23.440 We're all so future forward thinking, which is a good thing. 397 00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:28.200 But with dream work, the only way to know what 398 00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:31.519 your triggers are in your dreams or where there's a 399 00:22:31.559 --> 00:22:36.079 precognitive hit is to go back and look, say usually 400 00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:39.240 two or three days before, because that tends to be 401 00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:41.200
