In this episode of Dream Hub, Melissa is joined by dream researcher and educator Christian Gerike to uncover the powerful layers within your dreams. Why do certain animals, symbols, and metaphors appear so vividly, and what are they trying to tell you? Christian helps us understand how these elements are far from random; they’re key to unlocking insights about your emotions, memories, and even your spiritual journey.
Christian also brings a unique perspective on how different cultures view dreams—from Indigenous wisdom to historical sleep practices—highlighting how people around the world connect with dreams as part of daily life and spiritual practice. We explore what we can learn from these diverse views, and how integrating these insights can enrich our own dream work.
Together, we explore practical ways to interpret these dream elements, share how to work with dream groups to gain fresh perspectives, and look at why animals often appear as guides in our dreams. Whether you’re new to dream work or a seasoned dreamer, this episode will give you tools to go deeper with your dreams, connect with the hidden wisdom they offer, and find meaning in the messages you once overlooked.
