It is long known that dreams open a window into your deepest Self, offering important information and inspiration to fulfill your unique purpose in life. Tarotpy allows you to access that same wisdom and healing capacity of the dreaming mind with eyes wide open. In this blog, I share a case study that illuminates the “aha moment” that come through Tarotpy practice.

In these dark days after the 2024 election, I offer some wisdom of how to navigate during times of shock.

This is the fifth and final part of my "Big Dreams" series where I discover the way forward.

My Big Dream essays continue and, in Part IV, the dreams begin to offer a solution to the collective fear.

Part III of my Big Dream essays, this blog discusses the apocalypse and how it can facilitate the change from the old to the new.

Part II is a continuation of my Big Dream essays and discusses the timeliness of my dreams. We are in such a time now when great polarities threaten to tear the United States and the world apart. However, crisis and chaos are indicative of profound transformation. 

Starting in 2012, I have had a series of “Big Dreams” that have been prescient of the socio-political-ecological events unfolding in our country and abroad. Though these dreams appear to be quite dark, there is a light at the end of the tunnel we are in. Given the timeliness of the upcoming elections in the United States and events in the world, I feel compelled to post these dreams this week as a five-part series.

My innovative practice of Tarotpy® (tarot therapy) incorporates similar principles as hypnotherapy and produces comparable benefits.  I use tarot therapy to stimulate imagination that may be otherwise blocked, for example, with individuals who do not remember dreams or whose doorway into their unconscious appears to be locked, often due to depression or trauma. This method of working with imagery has great regenerative power. As the image comes alive with a sense of meaning, it vivifies the client’s unconscious and brings nuanced colors out from a darkened state of mind. 

In 1983, I entered a master’s program for marriage and family therapy with a tarot deck tucked into one pocket, a book of the I Ching in the other. I did not study the tarot tradition or symbolism. Instead, I begin to experiment with applying psychotherapy – including family systems, hypnotherapy, and dreamwork – to playing with the cards. This work, which I came to call Tarotpy® (tarot therapy), evolved over nearly four decades as a highly effective and awe-inspiring method of psychotherapy.

We all dream and we are all dreamers. In dreams, we have access to vast intelligence and many levels of awareness. When the ego is asleep, dreams open a window to our Soul and to Universal consciousness. Read on to learn more about the depth and breadth of intelligence that is available to us in dreams.
