Episode 224 -Tzivia Gover - Dreams and Creativity: How to Harness the Power of Your Sleeping Mind

I'd love to know what you think of this episode. Text me here.

In the literary world, it’s called the Muse, that spark of inspiration that leads to the creation of original works of art. Some people flow with ideas and have no trouble spinning those thoughts into novels, poems or any innovative work of vision. But many of us – me included at times – often stare at that screen in frustration, unable to bring a single thought to the page.

     But there is a way to bring your thoughts to light and that’s by using your dreams as your inner Muse. It’s not a secret. Many authors of the past, including Mark Twain, Langston Hughes and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, have worked with their dreams to create books and poems that we remember to this day. Another writer and poet that knows this is my guest, Certified Professional Dreamworker Tzivia Gover. Through her Dreaming on the Page workshops and book she has taught others how to use their dreams to bring their own creative thoughts into being. Tzivia tells us:

·      Why you never have to struggle with your writing again

·      How creativity is connected to dreams

·      Who benefits from her writing programs

·      The special practice that makes you a better writer

·      The subtle shift in how you write down your dreams that makes a better difference

·      The best way to use writing prompts

·      Exercises that spark your creative mind

·      How to use writing to help deal with your nightmares

    Tzivia writes this about herself: When I was 23 years old, I wrote in my journal:

“I am a writer: A woman who wants to share her dreams. I am a dreamer: a writer without words.”

 I’ve grown more deeply into that knowledge of who I am in decades since.

      Now, I make a living doing what I love most: writing, thinking, and teaching about dreams and how to live a life full of meaning, purpose, and joy—from the inside out.

      I write self-help/inspirational books and memoirs, as well as poems, stories, and essays. I am also a certified dreamwork professional who leads workshops and teaches domestically and abroad, in person and online. I am a member of the International Association for the Study of Dreams and the former education director for the Institute for Dream Studies.

     I have synthesized and applied my varied experiences as a journalist, professor, and professional dreamworker, along with my studies of mindfulness, yogic philosophy, and the scientific, psychological, and spiritual aspects of dreams to craft simple, elegant, and effective methods for dreamwork and writing. By sharing my knowledge in these ways, I help my clients, readers, and workshop participants live more empowered, authentic, and joyful lives.

     Now I’ve fulfilled my long-ago aspiration to dream, write, and wake up to my best life. And I want to help you do the same.
