  In this episode of Dream Interpretation Station, Sleep and Dream Specialist Leah Bolen explores the often misunderstood theme of death in dreams. She gently debunks the myth that dying in a dream means real-life death, offering a perspective rooted in transformation, release, and personal growth. Through one of her own vivid dreams and a powerful client example, Leah reveals how death in dreams can mark turning points, liberation, and new beginnings. She encourages listeners to pay attention to how they feel in these dreams—often peaceful rather than fearful—and to view them as loving messages from the inner self.

  In this episode, hear from Leah about the fascinating world of dreams and how they play a crucial role in processing our waking lives.  During this replay of her conversation with Maureen Spielman on the Mystical Sisterhood podcast, Leah emphasizes that while many people look for straightforward interpretations of their dreams, the true power lies in the exploration itself.  It’s in this journey of examining dreams with curiosity and guidance that individuals can uncover personal meanings that speak directly to their unique experiences. They also talk about the importance of not just the metaphysical but the physical aspect of sleep.
