What if the answers you’re searching for are already waiting in your dreams?

In this episode, I sit down with Layne Dalfen, who has spent over 50 years working with dreams and dreamers. She’s the founder of the Dream Interpretation Center and the author of Have a Great Dream (Books 1 and 2). Her lifelong message is clear: solutions to your challenges often appear first in your dreams.

Layne shares how a recurring “freight elevator” dream helped her face a life-altering decision at just 21, and how that moment opened the door to a lifetime of dreamwork. Together we talk about:

• How to uncover the waking trigger behind every dream
• Why nightmares are your mind’s way of making sure you finally pay attention
• The six “points of entry” anyone can use to start understanding their dreams
• What rehearsal dreams are, and how they prepare you to act differently in waking life
• Stories from her decades of practice that show the healing, guidance, and even humor inside our dreams

This conversation is full of honesty, and practical tools you can start using right away. If you’ve ever wondered how to really listen to your dreams, this episode will show you the way.

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.
