Today, I’m speaking with Athena Laz, a bestselling author, intuitive psychologist, and lucid dream teacher. Her books include The Alchemy of Your Dreams, Woman Who Dance in the Dark, The Deliberate Dreamer Journal, and The Sisterhood Oracle Deck. Athena’s works have been translated into more than 13 languages, and she has helped thousands of people worldwide connect with spirit and psyche through dreams, mysticism, and symbolic work.
In our conversation, we explore how dreams can support us in moments of overwhelm, the connection between intuition and the dreamworld, and the forgotten medial archetype — a force that bridges inner conflict, collective division, and the symbolic language of dreams. Athena also shares a powerful dream that helped her navigate an important life decision, and we talk about why paying attention to our dreams is one of the simplest, yet most profound, ways to reconnect with our inner compass.

I’m Joanna, the creator of Blue Lotus Queendom and co-author of Divine Dreamers. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been captivated by dreams and the hidden landscapes of the subconscious. That passion led me to study and practice dreamwork, Yoga Nidra, sound healing, and other rest-based modalities — all ways of accessing the liminal spaces where insight and healing emerge. Through my work, I help others find clarity, release exhaustion, and build trust in their own inner guidance so they can walk through life more aligned and whole.
