Most dream content online is… wrong. In this episode, we correct the record with real, outcome-driven interpretations that actually resonate.

Michael shares the wild $17,000 self-publishing story (including two unbelievable bookstore rejections), the lesson hidden inside obstacles, and why we built a 4,000-entry dream dictionary app that keeps getting better.

Then we break down three real dreams: Book Return, Spider on My Belly, and Man Hurting a Child—showing you how precise analysis reveals purpose, patterns, and next steps.

If you care about accuracy over clicks, you're in the right place.
