In this rebroadcast from Jan 2022, Gilda Morina Syverson reads three of her dream-inspired poems throughout the show starting off with one about connecting with her ancestors. Gilda then talks about her Italian-American father and how his interest in dreams sparked her life-long interest.
We speak about spiritual guides, guardian angels and animal guides (which can appear in either dreams or waking life) and also the dream revolution, day dreaming and potholders (yes potholders).
It’s a banner day for the Journal; we take two phone calls and four emails from listeners who have questions ranging from angels to dream droughts. One of the callers is Doris Snyder who we talk about in regards to day dreaming. Doris was on the show in October, 2021. Larry Sorkin, our second caller, appears on the show a few months later in February 2022.
