In this episode of Lucid Cafe, I’m joined by Bonnie Buckner, author of The Secret Mind, for a fascinating deep dive into the transformative intelligence of our dreams. Bonnie shares how tuning into our dream life can help us grow, heal, and create greater harmony in our waking world.

We explore the two cognitive processing systems in the brain, Bonnie’s early childhood realization that dreams hold profound meaning, and the seven types of dreams preserved through a 13th-century lineage. She also offers practical guidance for capturing and interpreting dreams — and using them to unlock the latent potentials we all carry.

If you’re curious about the inner workings of the mind, or want to learn how dreams can become a daily tool for insight and transformation, this conversation opens a compelling doorway.

In this episode, I’m joined by the extraordinary mother–daughter team Norma and Nisha Burton, co-authors of Navigating Liminal Realms: Psycho-navigation Skills for Lucid Dreaming, Trance Journeys and Altered States. Their work blends ancient psychonaut wisdom with modern neuroscience to revive a long-forgotten skill: how to consciously enter, explore, and return from the dreamscape, trance worlds, and psychedelic visions with clarity and intention.

Together, we explore the unique ways Norma and Nisha use their complementary approaches to help others navigate the inner wilderness — cultivating practices that deepen self-awareness, expand perception, and reconnect us with the vast terrain of our own consciousness and beyond.

This is a rich, fascinating conversation for anyone drawn to lucid dreaming, shamanic journeying, psychedelics, or the mysteries of the mind.

Forget the sanitized fairy tales — Danielle Dulsky, the author of The Night House: Folklore, Fairy Tales, Rites, and Magick for the Wise and Wild, is here to remind us that the old stories bite back. We talk about the witch as an archetype of creative rebellion, the power of ritual, and how folklore can awaken the wild, wise self that’s been hiding just beneath the surface.

Danielle is a heathen visionary, painter, and word-witch. She’s the author of Seasons of Moon and Flame, Woman Most Wild, and The Holy Wild; she teaches internationally and has facilitated circles, embodiment trainings, communal spell-work, and seasonal rituals since 2007. She is the founder of The Hag School and believes in the emerging power of wild collectives and sudden circles of curious dreamers, cunning witches, and rebellious artists in healing our ailing world.

In this episode, Danielle discusses:

• The Hag School
• Her background and transformation into a witch
• The meaning of her book title, The Night House
• The mysterious origins of fairy tales
• Archetypes in fairy tales
• How readers can work with her book
• The hidden intelligence contained with fairy tales, myths, etc
• The universality of ancient stories
• Dreaming the future
• The hidden realm
• The magic of storytelling
• An example of how to work with a fairy tale
