Leah talks with author of the book Diving Before Dawn, Sandi Madison about decades of dream journaling, the playful language of symbols, and how dreams can comfort and guide us. They explore using art when words fall short, spotting meaning in everyday life, and rekindling trust in what the night delivers. If you’ve ever wondered whether a dream fragment matters, this is your nudge that it does.

In this episode of Dream Interpretation Station, Sleep and Dream Specialist Leah Bolen explores the often misunderstood theme of death in dreams. She gently debunks the myth that dying in a dream means real-life death, offering a perspective rooted in transformation, release, and personal growth. Through one of her own vivid dreams and a powerful client example, Leah reveals how death in dreams can mark turning points, liberation, and new beginnings. She encourages listeners to pay attention to how they feel in these dreams—often peaceful rather than fearful—and to view them as loving messages from the inner self. These dreams, she explains, are invitations to let go of the old and step into what’s next.
