Welcome and thank you for listening to All Aboard The Dream Train. A dream storytelling podcast where people from all walks of life walk us through their dreams and how those dreams have affected them in their waking life. **** In today's episode we are very fortunate to hear from the incredibly talented artist and dream enthusiast - Laura Pawlik. She is based in Denver, Co. and runs an art gallery in the arts district of Denver called Atelier on Santa Fe Gallery at 910 Santa Fe Drive, Studio 101 Denver, Colorado. Luara enjoys reading, writing, hiking and nature in general. She’s also apart of a jungian dream group that has changed her life and outlook on art completely. “When you dream it’s so honest and so real and.. the pain is just raw. That pressure that people feel when sharing your dreams or painting them, it’s healing for other people too. We get to then have a conversation about painful periods in your life and where we go from there.” - Laura Pawlik Q: Do you have a dream journal? A: Yes, I kept a journal before but it wasn’t until I joined the dream group that I could really appreciate my dreams. After joining the dream group is when I started to paint my dreams. **** Q: What do you do to unwind or relax at the end of your day? A: I like to read, Ill also do visual meditation which is very helpful. Im pretty chill, I don't have trouble relaxing, I have trouble getting motivated. **** Q: What kind of books do you read? A: I love murder and mystery and books on psychology. Carl Jung's Memories dreams and reflections, his books are heavy, they take time to read and digest. I like light fiction too. **** Lauras story starts at the 36min mark. **** Lauras first dream is a precognitive dream. She knows she is tasked to write about a tragic/traumatic event (think mass shooting) She has conflicting feelings about her writings. Part of her wanted to be there to help comfort the grieving survivors and another part of her was glad she was not in harms way. She had the feeling of being assigned to writing about this event. The dream switches scenes and Laura finds herself walking through the forest path with her two daughters she happens upon a sign that reads “dead end” Still accompanied by her daughters, she notices a train heading towards her. She had no time to get out of the way so she lays down between the tracks as she knew she would not be hit as long as she was lying down as flat as possible and remained still that the train would go straight over her. As the train passed over her a visual of her daughter sitting on an open air train cart signaling that her daughter was not harmed by the train. After the train passed Laura joined her daughter and they sat in safety and enjoyed their ride. After waking from her dream she had a feeling without a shadow of a doubt that her father was going to pass away. Laura told her family about the dream but they assured her that her father was completely fine. She had her dream and told her family about it December 3rd. A few weeks after the dream he was diagnosed With stage 4 cancer. Her father then passed away on Feburay 8th **** Thanks again for sharing you story Laura!
