Precognitive Dreams, Déjà Vu, and Dreams as Personal Myth with Kelly Lydick
Episode 398
Monday, 26 October, 2026
Can dreams reveal how we are changing—and even anticipate what comes next? Host Katherine Bell talks with alignment coach, author, and certified trauma specialist Kelly Lydick about precognitive dreams, déjà vu, dream incubation, recurring symbols, and the relationship between dreaming life and waking life. Kelly explains how dream patterns can reflect personal evolution, why houses, water, and color all carry meaning, and how writers can use believable dream sequences to deepen characters and foreshadow events. She also discusses drawing on dreams for creative work and shares examples from her climate crisis novel, Everything That’s Left Behind. The conversation explores how detailed dream journaling can reveal connections over time, why precognitive dreams may be recognizable only in retrospect, and how déjà vu can feel like remembering a forgotten dream. Kelly also recounts following guidance from a dream while recovering after an emergency C-section, and we take a call from Ellen who shares a harrowing precognitive experience. Personal dream experiences are not a substitute for professional medical advice. In This Episode: Dreams as mirrors of waking life and personal evolution Recurring dream symbols: houses, water, color, and chakras Why dream sequences can deepen fictional characters Dream incubation for creativity and problem-solving Precognitive dreams, premonitions, and déjà vu How to keep a detailed dream-and-waking-life journal Episode Highlights: Dreams as mirrors of waking life Houses, water, color, and dream symbolism Creating believable dreams for fictional characters Foreshadowing through a character’s dream Using dream incubation in creative work Dreams that unfold up to ten years later Journaling waking life and dreams together Recognizing precognitive dreams retrospectively A dream that offered guidance during recovery About Kelly Lydick Kelly Lydick is an alignment coach, author, certified trauma specialist, certified Gateway Dreaming coach, and life coach.
