Carol starts by describing that she got interested in her dreams while sleeping for several months by her grandmother who was making her transition. She describes her introduction to the study of dreams with her mentor Robert van de Castle and his book, Our Dreaming Mind.
She then describes her role in creating the ethics statement for the International Association for the Study of Dreams (IASD) and tells about some of the early breeches in ethics that occurred in the early days of the IASD conferences. She reads from the statement itself which emphasizes that only the dreamer is the final authority on their dreams.
In the final segment, Carol talks about the reissuing of her book At the Feet of the Master which is the result of channeling words from John the Beloved about his relationship with Jesus Christ. We talk about the idea that “In dreams, we enter God’s world. Through dreams, he enters ours.”
