The Dream Expert: Understand and Leverage the Power of Dreams
Psychologist Athena Laz — whose books on dreaming are translated into twelve languages — on what your dreams are doing while you're not looking, and how to work with them deliberately.
Athena bridges two worlds that rarely speak: clinical psychology and the deep traditions of dreamwork. Her books The Alchemy of Your Dreams and The Deliberate Dreamers Journal treat dreams neither as noise nor as mystic prophecy, but as a nightly channel of information about your inner life — one you can learn to read.
We explore what the science says dreams are for, practical recall and journaling techniques, how recurring dreams flag unfinished business, and where intuition and consciousness fit into a psychologist's worldview. A fascinating edge-of-the-map conversation, grounded by clinical training.
