Dreaming the Light
Welcome to Dreaming the Light.
I’m Joanna, founder of Blue Lotus Queendom and co-author of Divine Dreamers. This podcast is a space to explore the mysteries of dreams, rest, and the subconscious — and how they can guide us toward healing, clarity, and inner alignment.
Together, we’ll dive into the wisdom of dreams, the power of sleep and rest practices, and the subtle ways sound and intuition can support us, even in the most difficult times. You’ll discover stories, insights, and practical tools to work with nightmares, anxiety, and restless nights, and to reclaim the gifts waiting in your dreamworld.

From NASA to the Dreamworld with Katherine Bell
Today, I’m speaking with Katherine Bell, an astrophysicist turned dream worker and the host of The Dream Journal, a weekly radio show she’s been leading since 2019. With a PhD in astrophysics and over 300 episodes dedicated to the study of dreams, Katherine bridges science, intuition, and the mysteries of the night.
In our conversation, we talk about how following her dreams led her from NASA to dreamwork, and a remarkable series of dreams that helped her recover from the trauma of a wildfire near her home, and introduces simple yet profound ways to work with dreams through what she calls “dream basking” and the TLC method — tenderness, longing, curiosity.
If you’ve ever wondered what happens when a scientist begins listening to her dreams, this episode will deeply inspire you to start paying attention to your own!

I’m Joanna, the creator of Blue Lotus Queendom and co-author of Divine Dreamers. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been captivated by dreams and the hidden landscapes of the subconscious. That passion led me to study and practice dreamwork, Yoga Nidra, sound healing, and other rest-based modalities — all ways of accessing the liminal spaces where insight and healing emerge. Through my work, I help others find clarity, release exhaustion, and build trust in their own inner guidance so they can walk through life more aligned and whole.
