In this episode, I speak with Lisa Marchiano, Jungian analyst, author, and co-host of This Jungian Life, about her book Dream Wise: Unlocking the Meaning of Your Dreams (co-authored with Deborah Stewart and Joseph Lee).We explore how dreams can serve as a compass for meaning and purpose, guiding us toward our fullest expression of self. Through the Jungian lens, Lisa explains how dreams act as messages from the unconscious—offering gentle course-corrections, creative insight, and wisdom for the lifelong process of individuation, or becoming who we’re truly meant to be.Together we discuss:Why dreams matter and how they guide psychological and spiritual growthThe “inner companion” or Self as a source of support and directionHow to work with dream images using associations, amplification, and active imaginationDream incubation—how to ask your dreams for guidanceWhy dreamwork is a creative dialogue that connects us to the depths of psyche and to the collective unconsciousWhether you’re in a life transition, seeking clarity about your next chapter, or simply curious about the mystery of dreams, this conversation offers both inspiration and practical tools for deepening your relationship with your inner life—and living in greater alignment with who you’re meant to become.
