Intrinsic Motivation & Becoming the Captain of Your Own Life
The Dream World Podcast Book Club: “New You! Who Knew?” David EdwardsAvailable on Amazon and www.davidredwards.com.
David was CEO of a Community Health Center creating the leading integrated, person-focused, primary care center in the country. He realized that many people are missing core skills that if they had would make their lives so much better. He left a well-paying job and embarked on researching and writing a book to help regular people learn the principles and skills needed to become the captain of their own life.
David talks about how he has witnessed and contributed to the evolution of healthcare systems. He saw the need for a health system designed to actually heal. This is one that takes a whole-picture approach, looks at the patient as a whole mind-body & soul, involves nature in the environment, and focuses care around the patient’s needs. Nature has many metaphors that can teach us life lessons, and incorporating it into our healthcare aids healing and alignment.
He started to teach others how to become the person they want to become by being the captain of their own life and relying less on external motivation or stimuli. He has studied the models of external and internal change and how it affects our thinking patterns and lifestyle. Keeping up with the change around us and in society is necessary to feel free and happy, but it is also important to navigate the change we direct in our own internal person. The person we are becoming evolves every day. Internal motivation goes a long way against obstacles when trying to achieve your life goals. How can we bear healthy fruit in our lives like a cherry tree with strong roots?
Podcast Episode 9 reference: Signs of Reincarnation- The Evidence Based Research & Limitations of Science (With Jim Matlock)
Timothy Francis Leary was an American psychologist and writer known for his strong advocacy of psychedelic drugs. Evaluations of Leary are polarized, ranging from bold oracle to publicity hound. He was "a hero of American consciousness"
10 principles of intrinsic motivation: Values. Awareness. Learning . Intent. Planning. Action. Belief. Self kindness, Mindlessness. Judge less and think more.
Awareness is an authentic attempt to become conscious of what is within and
around you. It is a relaxed and interested attention to what is happening. The
opposite of being aware is to be ignorant, blind, oblivious, or simply unaware.

EP19: Awakening to Your True Potential
teZa Lord is a spiritual activist, author, artist and lightworker. She also hosts the Z Lord Podcast which has some great insightful conversations about spirituality and navigating life challenges towards your highest self. teZa has had an inspiring spiritual journey and she is sharing her stories with the world and helping raise the consciousness of humanity. She is also getting ready to publish her first novel!
TeZa & I talk about being a creative dreamer, and using your dreams to carry out creative projects in your waking life. We also talk about how to tap into your subconscious on a deeper level and understand the psychic nature inside you. Working with dreams can help you become a more stable and happier person. We can find balance through meditation and dreams in order to not allow nightmares to disturb our psyche. Meditation and breathwork are a great ways to start to grow internally and calm the mind.
I also learned about the Harmonic Convergence, the world's first synchronized global peace meditation, which occurred on August 16–17, 1987. This event also closely coincided with an exceptional alignment of planets in the Solar System. The convergence is purported to have "corresponded with a great shift in the earth’s energy from warlike to peaceful.

EP21: Lucid Dreaming for Self-Mastery & Entrepreneurship (Feat. Lana Sakwild)
In this episode, I talk to Lana Sakwild, an expert lucid dreaming coach, about how to incorporate lucid dreaming into your daily routine, and how to use your lucid space for personal development. We talk about how our dreams, both lucid & non-lucid, have given us ideas and information that have completely changed our path in life. If you’re an artist, get lucid in your dreams and try to work on some creative blockages; paint with Salvador Dali, learn new techniques and tools with no limits, and ask your dream to show you what your best selling artwork looks like!

Lana is a lucid dream coach & scientific researcher. Her work blossomed from a thirst for exploration, knowledge, & adventure. As an inquisitive child, she first ventured into the world of lucid dreaming by playing with my nightmares, morphing the characters into cartoons & experimenting with the laws of physics. After 20+ years of experimentation with lucid dreaming & graduating with a MSc in consciousness, spirituality, and transpersonal psychology, Lana is now a successful transpersonal lucid dreaming and lucid living coach. She has dedicated her life to helping people redefine and reconnect to their purpose and awaken their unlimited potential.
The Lucid Entrepreneur Lab utilizes scientific and transpersonal lucid dreaming and lucid living coaching that delivers results for ALL areas of your life. The Lucid Entrepreneur Lab is built on 25 years of Lucid Dreaming experience and a career path that includes working with hundreds of participants from all walks of life - musicians, artists, and WFH moms, to established business owners and lawyers - allowing them to break through even their most challenging psychological setbacks.
Questions Lana answers in this interview:
What is lucid living & why is it important to integrate it into our lucid living practice?
How can I get involved in dream work if I have never had a lucid dream? What about people who have not had any dreams at all in years?
What can we do while lucid to carry out specific dream tasks that can benefit our business, creative projects, or mental healing?
What is Lana's Lucid Entrepreneur Lab all about?
