The Night Life | dream interpretation

So many of our dreams, more than we realize, are giving us glimpses into where we are at while also posturing and preparing us for what's coming next. The God who created us and everything we see hasn't left us to figure out this crazy life on our own. He loves us and wants to release divine intelligence and wisdom to us every step of the way – if we will lean in and listen to what He is saying.  ...

Let me tell you this has been such a fun week of dreams coming true – where I found myself in real life situations directly relating to dreams I've had! Engaging with the night life becomes increasingly more exciting as our sleep and waking lives become more intertwined. If you've never wondered if something really happened or you dreamed it did, just keep swimming and you'll know you're in the de...

Isn't the night life amazing? Song of Solomon says, "I sleep, but my heart is awake" referring to the beloved knocking at the door at night, asking to come in … since our spirits never sleep, I believe we are all being invited into deeper layers of connection with Jesus through the night as well as the day. God loves and enjoys us, and is excited to spend eternity with us, starting the moment we o...

It's been such a joy watching the night life community grow and seeing where everyone is listening from –over 40 states across the US and 24 countries worldwide. With the recent planetary parade, I'm reminded that we are all exploring the same "night life" together – the amazing gift of dreams and the revelation God is releasing to us in our sleep while we are quiet, at rest and most receptive to...

This is the time of year we all know we are heading straight toward spring — a season of new growth and fresh inspiration. Today's interview with Thomas Hart Clements feels especially fitting as he is not only a dreamer but creator who transforms his dreams into stunning AI-generated videos, turning imagination into something you can actually see and feel. Thomas is a longtime believer, teacher, a...

As if it didn't want to miss the party, my voice came back just in time to record this 50th podcast episode. After several days of sporadic nebulizing and failed vocal rest, here we are - halfway to 100 episodes exploring the night life together. I'm so happy to hail this milestone with special guest Michael French, who graciously agreed to do most of the talking! Let me tell you about Michael Fre...

In light of recent episodes with people in different states and countries, today I'm giving a shout out to local dreamers in our home state of Colorado. It was so fun connecting with a friend of a friend, Analiese, a vibrant dreamer, mom of 3 and local business owner in Colorado Springs. She has a heart for the UK and young adults and desires to help other dreamers unlock what the Lord is speaking...

In the past couple of weeks I've dreamed about lemons, laundry, legs and liars all drawing my attention to the underlying nature of things. The night life is kind of like Forest Gump's box of chocolates: you never know what you're going to get! In light of the latest wave of ministry scandal exposures, it's the perfect time to talk about one of my favorite types of dreams. I've released episodes o...

One of the most common questions people ask is, "Why don't I remember my dreams?" Many people sense their dreams matter yet wake up with only a vague feeling or fragments from the night before. If you've been listening long, hopefully you've taken the advice of inviting God to speak in your dreams before you go to sleep and waking as slowly as possible to give your mind space to recall dreams befo...

Waking at 2:20am from a creepy spider dream led me down a path of revelation inspired by a tip from this interview with Steven Ugan! Steven's path into ministry is unique in that he began his career as a veterinarian after graduating from the University of Georgia. In 2003, he transitioned into full-time ministry at GateCity Church in Atlanta, where he has been in leadership for more than twenty y...

With 2026 coming – tomorrow! – most of us are seeking fresh vision to recalibrate for the year ahead. What we see and believe on the inside powerfully shapes the world around us, so taking time to zoom out and evaluate the script we are acting from keeps us sharp and focused on what matters most. I hope to spark your sense of adventure with this interview with Tony Cooke from the UK! The ways he h...

As we celebrate the most perfect gift ever given—Jesus—I'm in awe at how much divine revelation was wrapped in dreams throughout the Christmas story. Over 2,000 later, the night life is still one of the most profound ways God reveals Himself to His creation while we are quiet, at rest and most receptive to Him. My interview with Chris Anders was sparked by a dream, making it all the more meaningfu...

Whether your Christmas looks like palm trees wrapped in lights, as it does for my guest on the podcast today, or pine trees dusted in snow, which is my view here in the mountains… I pray for each of us to experience the warmth and wonder of Jesus in new and meaningful ways this season.  I connected with Sebastian Sohn from Los Angeles through his collaboration on the emerging dreams unwrapped podc...

There are times we know when something isn't working well in our life and what to do about it. In many cases, however, we only know there's a problem and could use help identifying root causes that aren't evident at all. I've had 100s of significant diagnostic dreams through the years, most having to do with very practical aspects of my life that need healing, deliverance or recalibration. At firs...

God is so pleased with our simple act of faith of showing up and offering what we have to every situation He calls us to. It's not about performance, and yes there are others out there who know more, could share more eloquently, or have better answers to people's questions. But God is asking US to show up and share His LOVE with others – it is risky and uncomfortable, but if we will lean into the...

You know that saying you find what you're looking for? Well apparently I'm looking out for dreamers, because I connect with so many of them in the course of my daily life in the unlikeliest places! Today's interview is with someone I see several times a week, Daniel Silva. Dressed in his security uniform, he looks like a boss so you can imagine my surprise and of course excitement when I found out...

I've had people ask me what I think about AI dream interpretation, so I have been excited to produce an episode on this topic! Today I'll use ChatGPT to interpret a few dreams people have sent in showing the difference between human interpretation and AI. I wish that I could say AI interpretations are really bad, but I have to admit they are pretty impressive! Of course there's a broader conversat...

It's amazing to consider how we all have been gifted by our Creator with a vast array of natural and spiritual senses that alert us to danger. Have you ever been stopped in your tracks by a smell, sound, sight, thought or feeling that thrust you into an instant state of alertness?   God in His goodness is always calling us into closer relationship with Him, so that He can lead us through this life...

I'm excited to hear from several children in today's episode! Cultivating a family dream culture is so rewarding, so if you are inspired hearing from these young dreamers and you have children of your own, start by asking your kids about their dreams in the morning and see what happens. It really is amazing hearing how God is meeting our kids in the night and opening up those conversations with th...

What an honor to receive divine intel and heavenly assignments on behalf of others! If you ever have a disturbing prophetic dream you don't understand, it helps to ask the question "how can I pray or stand against what was happening in the dream?" Intercessory dreams can be a type of warning or prophetic dream with an assignment attached, where God shows the dreamer something that is or may be abo...

I'm learning that every detail in the Bible – just like dreams – is intentional and packed with layers of meaning, and it's up to us how deeply we want to engage mining for the gold that is there. Today I'm excited to share my discussion with Kelly Madden on the topic of Biblical symbolism and how it relates to dreams. Kelly Madden is the author of the free Substack newsletter "Seeing the Keystone...

Many believe we are in the beginning of a third great awakening in America. It may be hard to imagine how this could be in these tumultuous times but consider that the first great awakening in America preceded the revolutionary war, and the second great awakening preceded the civil war. While revival involves spiritual renewal mostly within the church, awakening is revival accompanied by reformati...

The night life season 3 episode 1 show notes   Welcome to season 3 of The Night Life podcast! Who we are becoming in the process of interpreting our dreams is infinitely more important than just "getting the right answer." One of history's most famous dream interpreters, Joseph, famously expressed in the book of Genesis, "do not interpretations belong to God?" Through dreams, God is revealing Hims...
