Dreams about heads are more common than you might think. And they're usually trying to tell you something important.
In this episode, Jake (medical doctor, artist, dream practitioner from British Columbia) and Bill (retired plumber, currently a dream practitioner in Maine) dig into two striking dream symbols — the head dream and the superhero dream — and what they reveal about overthinking, boundaries, and the parts of ourselves we've learned to push aside.
Jake brings a real dream from someone he worked with, where a stranger's head was literally lodged in their space and wouldn't budge — and the surprising insight it unlocked about rumination, boundaries, and finally being done with something.
Bill shares the first dream he ever worked with — which contained a vivid, almost spiritual experience of being in the water versus another place of trying to "save" two boys from drowning.
Together they explore what it means to live too much in your head, why dreams pair the head dream and the superhero dream more often than you'd think, and how getting out of your head might just be the most important thing your dreams are asking of you.
