What if your dreams are not random, but messages trying to get your attention?

In this episode of The Curious Soul, Cristina Malavenda and Marty Go sit down with dream doula D. Lisa West to explore dreams, intuition, recurring patterns, premonitions, and the deeper guidance that may come through while we sleep.

D. Lisa shares how vivid dreams have shaped her life since childhood, including one unforgettable dream that later mirrored real events in waking life.

That experience changed the way she understood dreams forever.

D. Lisa opens up about how dreams can become a source of insight, creativity, communication, and inner guidance. She explains why recurring dreams may continue until we understand their message, how frightening dreams can reveal something unresolved, and why writing dreams down can help us recognize patterns over time.

Cristina, Marty, and D. Lisa also explore dream incubation, the liminal space between waking and sleeping, signs, synchronicities, premonition dreams, and the idea that our nighttime dreams may connect us to something larger than the conscious mind.

The conversation also expands into the dreams we hold for our lives, how family expectations and inherited beliefs can keep us from pursuing what we truly want, and why the body may sometimes signal when we are out of alignment with our path.

Whether you remember your dreams every night or believe you do not dream at all, this conversation invites you to consider that your dreams may be offering guidance, clarity, and a deeper connection to your own inner wisdom.

You'll hear:

• Why some dreams may feel more vivid, direct, or meaningful than others
• How recurring dreams can point to unresolved patterns or emotions
• What it means to ask your dreams for guidance before you sleep
• Why scary dreams may be trying to get your attention
• How to write down dreams in a way that reveals patterns over time
• Why your body may signal when you are out of alignment
• How nighttime dreams can connect to the bigger dreams you have for your life
• Why dreams may open the door to intuition, synchronicity, and inner knowing
