a winter immersion into dreamwork and soulful dream interpretation
December 1, 2025 - March 2, 2026
live online class series
DREAMING DEEPER
Dreaming Deeper is a space to slow down,
rest deeply, and reconnect with the
wisdom of your dreams.
Through gentle, consistent engagement with your sleep and dreams,
you’ll learn how to receive the wisdom woven within your dreams,
no matter how rogue or random they might initially seem!
You don’t need to be a dream expert or reach for a dream dictionary to understand your dreams.
Dreams speak a language that lives in the consciousness of your heart, an inner knowing
that reveals itself through feeling, sensation, and intuition. Dreaming Deeper offers simple,
experiential practices to help you receive the deeper messages of your dreams
and integrate their wisdom into your waking life.
Through four foundational classes followed by three monthly dream gatherings,
Dreaming Deeper is designed to assist you in remembering how to listen, interpret, and integrate
what your dreams are revealing to you. It’s an invitation to relate with sleep as sacred -
a space where body and spirit, Earth and psyche, sleep and soul meet in communion.

““Once we know what the dream world is,
to be without it is to be rudderless.
The dream continually corrects
our waking course.”

How are the classes structured?
Guided Meditations ~ Somatic Dream Decoding ~ Reflective Writing ~ Immersive PDFs
Each class begins with a guided centering to create a supportive space for entering your dream field. From there, we’ll explore the week’s theme through teachings and visual slides - introducing ways to relate with your dreaming garden, the inner landscape where your dream life takes root and grows.
You’ll be guided through experiential practices that help you decode your dreams through the body - learning to sense how imagery, emotion, and symbol live somatically within you. This approach to dreamwork is deeply subjective; it honors your intuition and body as trustworthy sources of interpretation.
We’ll close each session with time for reflection, optional sharing, and integration. Between classes, you’ll receive suggested resources - journaling prompts, guided meditations, and creative exercises - designed to help you continue tending your dreaming garden and cultivating a more embodied relationship with sleep, rest, and renewal. All materials will be available in our private web portal for easy access and ongoing integration.
Join Dreaming Deeper
There are three options for joining this series:
“Dreaming Deeper felt like a sweet initiation into the divine mystery that is dreaming. Madeline held a reverent space for the art of intentional dreaming that deeply permissioned me to engage with my own dream life with a fresh curiosity and awe for how much a dream can reveal. I feel inspired by the power of dreaming and look forward to sleep each night to see what mysteries might unfold!”
-Nicole Evangelista-
This series is for those who sense that their dreams are trying to tell them something - who want to understand the guidance and reflections that arise in the dark of the night.
I believe dreamwork is deep soul work - a practice of listening to the space where Earth, Body, and Spirit commune through symbol and sensation. Dreams reveal the places where healing, guidance, and connection are already flowing within us.
Dreaming Deeper gathers the practices I’ve lived, loved, and learned from over many years of listening to dreams. It offers a somatic and soulful approach to dreamwork - one rooted in the belief that wisdom emerges from within. Grounded in somatic awareness, trauma-informed care, and subjective dreamwork, Dreaming Deeper supports deeper rest, emotional integration, and a renewed connection to your inner life.
While I’ve been an avid dreamer throughout my life, I began intentionally deepening my relationship with dreams over 13 years ago while completing my Master’s Degree in Spiritual Psychology. Many of the practices I learned through my studies with Drs. Ron and Mary Hulnick continue to serve as the foundation for my dreaming practice and offerings today. In recent years, I’ve expanded this path through animistic dreamwork, studying with teachers such as Toko-pa Turner. In the spring of 2024, I published Then I Woke Up: Dreaming with Mother Earth - a small book of Earth dreams exploring the meeting place between sleep, soul, and the natural world.
I’m deeply excited to offer this course (for the second year in a row!) and look forward to welcoming all who feel called to deepen into their dreams this season. To read more about the kind of dreamwork that influences Dreaming Deeper, you can explore a few of my writings below:

This course is designed to support total beginners as well as those yearning to deepen an existing dreaming practice. Each class builds on the last and will teach you foundational practices for beginning a dreamwork practice. If you have additional questions about this, feel free to email me at madeline@madelinegiles.com

Dreaming Deeper is designed to offer foundational practices for dreamwork - it is meant to be accessible for both novices and experienced practitioners. If you’re feeling called ‘back to basics’ and yearning for a dedicated space that will assist you in deepening your existing practice, then I feel Dreaming Deeper could be a wonderful fit for you. If you’re looking to deepen in a specific style of dreamwork and sense what you’re needing isn’t the best fit for an introductory group, I encourage you to seek other courses/trainings. If you have additional questions about this, feel free to email me at madeline@madelinegiles.com

No - Dreaming Deeper does not focus on lucid dreaming. Rather than techniques for controlling or directing your dreams, this course introduces foundational practices that help you deepen your relationship with your dreams as they naturally arise.
The approach is rooted in somatic awareness, trauma-informed care, and subjective dreamwork - practices that support deeper rest, emotional integration, and a grounded connection to your inner life. You’ll learn how to remember, tend, and engage with your dreams in ways that feel restorative and meaningful, without needing to manipulate or “wake up” within them.
-
Through this course, you will learn tools and practices for nourishing your dreaming life, including practical suggestions for remembering your dreams. That said: it’s not a requirement to remember all of your dreams to participate in this course. When we reach the “Decoding Your Dreams” classes, if you truly have zero dreams, zero glimmers, nothing from your past or present dreaming life to draw from, I’ll invite you to choose a waking life scenario you can move through the dream illumination process with. No matter how much you currently actively remember your dreams, this course is designed to support you in deepening your relationship with your dreaming life.
-
Up until January 2027, you are also welcome to download the class recordings to save on your computer and revisit beyond that date as you wish.

“Dreaming Deeper was a rich experience that assisted me in having a more intimate relationship with my inner self. I am an avid dreamer and have used my dreams extensively over the years to assist me with healing, personal insight and discovery that has been invaluable. So before Dreaming Deeper, I already had a practice of dreaming, and now it is so very much better. I used the dream incubation exercises and the steps to interpret dreams and this took my dreams to another level. Madeline brings compassion, expertise and a great love to this work. I experienced deeper and more restful sleep too. That is so very important. Through the dream meditations and how Madeline taught us to invite in our dreams, create a dream garden and more, I am continuing to experience deeper rest, less stress in the day and a loving and healing connection with myself, my spirit helpers and dream guides.”
-Mary D'Agostino

“I'd recommend Dreaming Deeper to anyone who wants to gain insight from their dreams to help enrich their waking life. This course helps you tap into the messages your dreams are telling you, which if integrated can help unlock so much our bodies are trying to tell us! I've been regularly writing down my dreams for the past month and I'm already seeing recurring themes and beginning to understand what is trying to be communicated. I'm looking forward to delving deeper into specific dreams that feel like they would benefit from exploration.”
