DREAMING KEVIN: The Path to Healing

2014 Expanded Edition

"Have you had dreams that show the future? Visitations in dreams from loved ones who have passed away? In this episode, Carla Blowey talks about her own experiences with both, in her decades as a bereaved mother and as a dreamworker who serves bereaved families. In this conversation, you’ll hear Carla explain how to recognize “visitation dreams” by certain qualities that she finds they all tend to have. We also talk about dreams as a healing, though difficult, part of the grief process.

Carla shares in detail the precognitive nightmare she had the night before her 5-year-old son died in an accident, almost 30 years ago. (Because of that content, if you have kids around, you might want to put your earbuds in for this one.) We’ve talked on this podcast before about dreams that come in nightmare form in order to grab our attention: there’s something we need to address, and the stakes around it are high. This nightmare, though, Carla views as a precognitive dream about a tragedy that would soon come to pass. Still, it also came “in the service of health and wholeness.” This dream eventually gave her a spiritual context for her life and Kevin’s, and set her on her path.
