We start the new years by welcoming Katrina Dreamer who talks about social justice dreaming and how we can start to dream up the kind of world we’d like to live in.
Here is a link to a short video clip of the conversation:
Katrina starts by talking about harnessing the power of dreaming for social justice including using dreaming to build support and to find and connect with people. We speak about connecting to ancestors, mutual dreaming, and dream incubation. We then talk about dreaming up the kind of world we’d like to live in and why that can be difficult.
The class they are hosting called Social Justice Dreaming has a new cohort starting February 6. You can get 25% off the cost by registering here by January 23:

After the break, we take a question from Max about day dreams and hear about a precognitive dream from Ellen from Santa Cruz which tried to warn her about getting arrested on a train in Europe.
