The Psyche
Runs Deep.
Dream Analysis
for essential Self-Knowledge
and robust Breakthroughs.
-CARL JUNG
“Whenever we touch nature, we get clean. People who have gotten dirty through too much civilization take a walk in the woods, or a bath in the sea.
Entering the unconscious, entering yourself through dreams, is touching nature from the inside - it is the same thing. Things are put right again.”
...filled with psychedelic imagery and wild plotlines.
They take us beyond this plane and into magical, unicorn-having, alternate dimensions -every single night.
But somehow we still mostly ignore them (Gasp. Faint.) to rush toward our mundane daily slog of parking tickets and coffee cups like sad little bots with sad little beige lives.
This. Is. INSANE.
Dreams are fantastical worlds of wonder...
Because deep down, we sense that a dream always comes to teach us something we don’t already know –
That it comes to communicate treasures and cheat codes that can be monumental to our waking lives.
The Dreammaker shows up for us like a faithful servant full of gifts that - when unlocked - can be used to:
Solve stubborn
waking challenges.
Connect back to the magic of the entire cosmos.
Experience and express more
of who we
really are

I can't overstate how transformative dream analysis has been for my love life.
I was struggling with hangups that stemmed from past relationships and left me feeling unable to fully be myself with new partners.
Amanda and I began to explore my dreams, and each session revealed insights about my fears of abandonment and vulnerability. I knew this already, but dreamwork helped me understand what to actually do about it.
As a result of this work, I noticed a shift in my approach to dating. I’m more open and honest with my feelings, which has recently allowed me to connect with someone new!
The clarity I gained from understanding my dreams even helps me communicate better in this new relationship. It feels like freedom.
Short of doing ayahuasca every single night, dreams are the only one-stop-shop where our surface persona - our deep unconscious shadow- and the transcendent marvel of Spirit itself - have nightly board meetings where they all pitch ideas and determine next-steps to upgrade your life.
So just like you wouldn’t ignore a profound aya journey - it is straight bananas to brush off your dreams as nonsensical or unimportant anymore. Period.
It was Carl Jung (psychology trailblazer) who said, “We have forgotten the age old fact that God speaks chiefly through dreams and visions.”
HE WASN'T WRONG
If you aren’t remembering your dreams regularly, here are a few things you can try:
Everybody dreams. It’s scientifically proven!
Ask a question before falling asleep, with the intent that the dream will have the answer encoded for you. Do this every night until you remember a dream.
Ask for a clarification dream on a dream you remember from the past.
DID YOU KNOW
1.
Avoid cannabis and alcohol for at least 4 hours before bed.
2.
Ask the Dreamweaver to send you a dream. Be persistent.
Do this every night until you remember one. It may take a few weeks.
OR
OR
Write down (or dictate to your phone) anything you remember every day, even if it’s just ‘I remember nothing and had a restless night’s sleep’ or ‘I think maybe the color green was involved.”
When you do remember a dream, write it down. Thank the mind for showing it to you. Do something small in your waking life to ‘concretize’ the dream: e.g. If you had a dream about the ocean, pour yourself a glass of water and cheers to the ocean from your dream as you drink it.
Immediately upon waking...
(the un-fun cousin of Junk in the Trunk) that’s leading to unnecessary misunderstandings and drama in your relationships.
If you're like most people, you're either:
Groundhog Day Style: you have a vague sensation you’re ignoring some deeper calling—life is repetitive, full of heaviness, and devoid of growth and newness.
Where daily life feels like a psychological thriller marathon.
Dreamwork can help!
Dealing with
Emotional Baggage
Stuck in a Rut
Living in Anxiety City
In Creative Purgatory
Feeling less inspired than the screenwriters who botched that final season of Game of Thrones.
OR
Disconnected from Purpose
Drifting through life without a clear direction, wondering what the hell you’re actually supposed to be doing here (eating cheesecake and paying the electric bill aside).
-AESCHYLUS
“When we sleep the soul is lit up completely by many eyes; with them we can see everything that we could not see in the daytime.”
Getting Un-Stuck in areas of life that feel sticky: (Love, Money, Career, Self-Esteem, Confidence, Unhealthy Patterns, etc.)
Dream Interpretation can help with:
Having a direct experience of God (Think less ‘bearded man’ and more ‘Benevolent All-That-Is-Ness’)
Uncovering Unconscious fears, desires, needs, and motivations (which, by the way, drive over 90% of our behavior and can’t be accessed directly)
Re-balancing your ways of being - including exploring your unlived life, neglected modes of expression, and shunned character traits.
Bringing renewal of motivation, clarity, and life force to the waking experience.
All in a way that conscious modalities alone (e.g. yoga, talk therapy, martial arts, journaling..)–as valuable and essential as they are –simply can’t.
Other potential perks:
Self-Awareness
EQ and Emotional Regulation
Problem-Solving Skills
Personal Growth
Stress Reductio
Creativity
Sleep Quality
Heightened Intuition

Dreamwork with Amanda is wild. It reminds you that magic is more real than anything - that magic is the actual true nature of reality. We literally visit other timelines at night and act like it’s no big deal. But now I’ve learned it’s realer than anything we experience here.
I will never, ever forget again how my memories, and my deepest mind, and the mind of God himself, and my very soul, and everyone and everything else, are all parts of the same fractal of light.
And that every night, they all reach down and whisper in my ear, and put their hands on my heart, and make me new again.
-CARL JUNG
“The unconscious is the dark being within that hears what our conscious ears do not hear, and sees what our conscious eyes do not perceive…
We only become aware of this unheard hearing, this unseen seeing, when the unconscious sends us these forgotten images in dreams.”
Detailed models of the psyche (like Jung’s) unlock untold levels of potential
(and not the type you thought that last guy had).
This potential is accessed mostly through making the unconscious conscious.
When we understand this, we see how powerful dreams are, because they act as a messenger, a guide, a bridge - between the unconscious and the conscious.
The language of the unconscious is one of symbols - and that is exactly why the power (and encoded messaging) of dreams lies in their imagery.
By learning how to translate the symbolic language of dreams, we get to connect with our unconscious material - to pull it up into consciousness - to understand, appreciate, and use it for our benefit.
When we can interpret the language of the unconscious (and speak it back!) we have immense power to change the trajectory of our lives.
I’ve been helping Silvery Women of the Night (like you) glean treasures from their dreams for more than a decade...
Hi. I'm Amanda.
I'm a dog lover, feral adventurer, Master’s-Level Jungian Spiritual Psychology Coach, Dream Analyst - and vivid dreamer.
In both myself and my clients, I’ve seen time and time again how Dream Journeying and Analysis can open up entire worlds that are otherwise inaccessible:
I’ve watched people experience:
Spiritually transformative experiences
Psychic and precognitive guidance
Vivid conversations with their unconscious
Soul communication sessions with the living and dead
And practical solutions to stubborn waking problems
All through the gift of dreamwork.
And if any of that makes you feel just a little bit more alive, you’ve come to the right place...

Having Amanda help me understand what my dreams were communicating to me was AMAZING! Amanda is a Psychology and Dream genius.
I was struggling around money. Had tried regular therapy and business coaching, but nothing really stuck or helped. I felt ashamed and like I couldn’t get it together for some reason.
I have more clarity now about my exact next move in the world - toward a life that feels more successful and supported. But I’m also clear that my self-esteem doesn’t depend on any external metric.
I feel super inspired and motivated, now that I’m clear on what my soul wants from me, and how I want to live my purpose next. That is a huge shift for me.
It was all right in front of me, and my dreams were giving me all the messages, all the tools, the answers… it was all in front of my face the whole time! It is so cool to finally see it, and
use it.
I would recommend working with Amanda to anyone who feels stuck in a rut that has been causing them pain for too long. She’ll help you translate the language of your own soul in a way that changes everything.
Our dominant attitudes, approaches, and propensities need to be counterbalanced. Switched up. Taken down a notch.
In dreams we experience the approaches opposite to our default:
Whether they show up as a sibling, as a symbol, as ourselves acting out of character, or as Abraham Lincoln smoking a vape and riding a quad, they are often the unexpressed elements of Self we didn’t even know existed.
To engage these elements in waking life - is insanely powerful and beneficial. This is when the dialogue between Ego and Self begins - the road that leads the individual toward Wholeness and Individuation.
While Jung believed that most people default to one of the eight main types of attitudes - making the other 87% of their reality blurry at best and invisible at worst -
…avid Dreamworkers extract knowledge and direct experiences from their dreams that expand their universal perspective and bring them closer to experiencing the world as it is. This also lends a more empowered approach to life’s challenges, and increases the opportunities the mind is able to perceive..
Our dreams are also a necessity for us to have functional balance.
-MARIE-LOUISE VON FRANZ
“When we pay attention to our dreams a self-regulating tendency in the soul comes into play which counterbalances the
one-sidedness of consciousness or completes it, so that a kind of wholeness and a life’s optimum is achieved.”
A TESTIMONIAL

The results of my dream journey have been incredible—I've not only found my backbone and drawn boundaries with family members that would have been too scary before, but I’ve also developed a true understanding of what I really want. I have my own back - and feel more confident and secure than ever before.
Experiencing my dreams firsthand plus unpacking their wisdom during dream sessions leaves me knowing that there are unseen forces loving and supporting me every minute of my life. I am never alone. I’m guided and held. That is a tremendous emotional comfort.
I highly recommend dream analysis to anyone looking to unlock the barriers that hold them back in love - or life in general.
Write down (and do a rough sketch - doesn’t have to be a Van Gogh) everything you remember about the dream.
You can (and should) regularly do independent Dream Analysis too!
Free associate with the main symbols of the dream - first personal associations (‘I was fishing. My dad used to take me fishing which meant a lot to me…’) then collective ones (‘teach a man to fish and he’ll eat for a lifetime’ - or - ‘fish archetypically represent shadow elements living deep in the unconscious waters’).
Connect the dream plot to what’s happening internally - all characters in the dream represent different aspects of our own psyche looking for expression!
DID YOU KNOW?
1.
2.
3.
Disregard any interpretation that flatters you, or that you were already conscious of.
4.
Determine what you’re being invited to work toward in waking life - what are you being encouraged to do, express, admit, explore, feel, or see? How can you do that in a practical, tangible way?
5.
Concretize the dream with a small ritual - this bridges the conscious waking mind with the unconscious dreaming mind, strengthening the relationship and increasing fluidity and clarity around solutions for your life. This can look like: dancing to a song with a similar feel as the dream, or putting a feather on your desk after a dream about flying or birds. Always send gratitude for the messages lovingly sent to you by dreams - as part of your ritual.

I started my journey into dream analysis feeling lost in my love life.
After working through my dreams, I discovered patterns and insights that revealed what my deeper mind was trying to tell me.
With each session, I gained clarity about what Amanda called my “unlived desires” and “compensatory parts of my personality” that wanted to be expressed more. It absolutely blew me away, and gave me goosebumps.
This profound understanding helped me show up differently on dates and become more authentic and playful overall.
I noticed real changes in my relationships, leading to more trust. I can confidently say that this process has transformed not just my love life but my entire perspective on dealing with other people…and myself. I'm grateful for the guidance and results I've experienced!
