Hello, I’m Andrea Schroeder and I have been helping creatives, visionaries, activists and healers make their dreams happen, as my full time work, for the last 14+ years.
This, the Creative Dream Incubator, is my biggest dream come true.
But as much as I love a Dream Come True moment... this work isn't really about the outcomes. It's about the way you light up when you take your dreams seriously and get to work figuring out how to fit them into your life.
It's about all the ways that pursuing your dreams actually helps you be your True Self. And all the healing, growth and magic that happens along the way.
I set out in my 20s with a dream of using my creative gifts to help people believe in themselves.
At the time I had no clue how little I actually believed in myself… and even less of a clue about what to do about it.
I had SO MUCH enthusiasm but I was ill-equipped, ill-prepared, naive and didn’t have the financial resources or connections to make it happen.
So it took a while… but I got here. I was 37 years old when I left my last day job to do my dreams full time.
Internet Marketing gurus would want me to mention here that I struggled for 15 years with my dreams… so you don’t have to! You can learn from all of my mistakes and fast-track your dreams.
But what all of these years of experience have given me is an in-depth understanding of the ways that the particular places where you get stuck with your dreams… are actually your greatest opportunities for healing and soul growth.
Your particular obstacles ARE how you’re going to make your dream real.
So I’m not going to give you a shortcut to avoid them.
I’m going to hold your hand and dive into the fire with you.
This is the invitation page for the Creative Dream Incubator Coaching Membership.
Yes! A coaching MEMBERSHIP!
An ongoing coaching container that you can come and go from wherever you need more support with your dreams.
I do it this way for three reasons:
- Expensive one-on-one coaching? In this economy? Yikes! EVERYONE deserves deep, effective and ongoing support with their dreams. Not just people who want to pay the big bucks for private coaching.
- Working in a group is actually more effective! Being able to hear about other people's journey is actually really affirmation, inspiring and even... magical. We really are stronger together.
- Dreams take time. Dreams need an INCUBATOR... ongoing work where you're not... actually working at it. The membership is really good for this.
The group has existed since 2012... but we have not been doing the same thing since 2012!
I am always watching what is happening with the members and their dreams, and adding new things, and replacing old things.
“Things” being: coaching and healing circles, alchemy meditations and printable journaling kits and courses… so! many! courses!
Making your dream happen is actually a really big deal.
It’s more than just setting a goal and then doing the work to get there.
The thing you are dreaming of feels like more than that, right?
It feels kind of special and vulnerable and maybe awkward and uncertain. Sometimes it sparks so much joy you almost can't stand it. Sometimes it triggers fears so big you don't want to face them.
A dream is more than a goal.
A dream comes from your own soul.
Our dreams are ways that our soul shows us our path. It's our soul saying "This! Here! Look more closely! Look at how this lights you up - that's because this is what you are here to do! This is what you are capable of! Please, go for it!"
This is sacred.
Pursuing a DREAM is so much more than “get up at 5am and use the first hour of your day to write your book” or whatever productivity life hack is popular these days.
Your dream is a SOUL CALLING and it is here to GROW YOU.
So you need to go an INNER JOURNEY of answering this call to become the version of you who can do the thing.
When you are on that inner journey - the outer steps will become possible.
Then, you start to be actually taking other steps! Consistently! And it feels like magic! Until…
It all falls apart because you, once again, get to a part that needs an inner journey to become the version of you who can do the next steps.
It’s all a part of it.
The inner journey and the outer journey need to be happening in tandem.
And you need support for both, at once....
And that is why there are so! many! courses! inside the Creative Dream Incubator membership. Not because you need a million courses, because you need THE RIGHT KIND OF SUPPORT for where you're at.
You need support with:
☑ Procrastination
☑ Inner Critics
☑ Fear
☑ Your relationship with money
☑ Self Doubt
☑ Planning and following through
☑ Confidence
☑ Listening to your Intuition
☑ Putting yourself out there
☑ Knowing what to do next
... I mean the list goes on.
... And so the list of resources and classes you get inside the membership goes on!
👉🏻 Which means: every time you hit a bump on the path you have a tool or course that helps you get over it.
Of course having a ton of courses usually doesn’t do anyone any good.
That's why I don't sell the courses individually, for you to buy and leave un-touched on your hard drive.
I invite you into the membership... where we do the work together.
In 2020 I created a whole new framework for journaling that ties it all together. It’s called Dream Book.
The Dream Book program is actually two years long with new content coming out every month but you do not need two years to get what you need from it!
It’s designed as mini coaching sessions… so everything you do in it is immediately applied to your dreams and your situation.
We get your dream organized, we map out the inner and outer journeys (understanding that inner journeys are impossible to accurately map - but we can map well enough to help you get moving with them) and then we get to work.
Dream Book gives you new ways to engage with your dream every day. Then the other whole library of classes gives you extra support for whatever you’re facing on your journey.
Again - this is where we do the work together.
Because Creative Dreaming is so vulnerable and multi-faceted - it really works better to not be alone in it.
I am an active user of Dream Book and the practices in the membership and I share the stories of what’s happening in my practice every day (Monday-Friday) on my blog.
This is a DAILY REMINDER to get to YOUR Dream Book - on top of our regular group coaching calls (more on that below).
“I’ve actually accomplished more and received more clarity in the last 4 weeks with you than I have in the past 4 years going it alone!”

⚡️Breakthroughs guaranteed⚡️
Your dream is your soul calling. It’s your soul showing you who you really are.
This is why I believe in your dreams FULLY. This is why I know you'll have breakthroughs in the membership - because it all comes from your soul.
Your dreams are the realest thing about you. And you wouldn’t have the dream if you didn’t also have the power, creativity and wisdom to make it happen. (Inside the membership, I'll remind you of that as often as you need me to)
I don’t make any promises about how long things will take. But I promise your dream is your dream for a reason. And that really giving it your all will change everything for you.
And I am not talking about dreaming bigger for the sake of dreaming bigger. Like let’s swap out our 6 figure online entrepreneur dreams for 7 figures. Let’s get a beach house AND a lake house. Your dream actually doesn’t give a shit about capitalist goals.
Your dream cares about MEANING and FULFILMENT and the JOY of living your live in tune with yourself. And of course this includes money, but that's not the guiding principle.
“I listened to you when you said that this would change things, would shift energy and would change me. But I don’t think I believed you.
I believe you now. Your classes have changed things, shifted energy and changed me: profoundly.”

Sure As The World .com
The Creative Dream Incubator Coaching Membership works best for people who are creative, soulful or introspective, progressive and decidedly anti-fascist.
The membership is full of artists, healers, coaches, therapists, activists and people who are exploring who they want to be.
They are currently dreaming of: writing their next bestseller, starting a coaching business, feeling more rested, having a whole new relationship with their bodies and making time for the creative hobby they wish they were doing. We honestly never judge anyone's dreams as too big or too small or too anything. If it lights you up - we're excited to help you make it happen.
And because it needs to be said these days: this is a space for progressive minded people. We believe that climate change is real. We are anti-racist, anti-fascist and opposed to all forms of systemic oppression. We believe that a better world is possible and we want that for everyone, not just ourselves.
At first, people usually join because they:
🦋 want to make a specific change in their personal or professional life
🦋 are ready to bring a new project to life
🦋 are feeling burnt out and need a new approach
🦋 have a big obstacle that they just can't seem to get around
🦋 have been working on their dreams and feel they need more support to get to the next level
And the membership is great for all of that!
So that’s why people join… but then they STAY in the group for the magic, healing and growth.
This work is an alchemical process that will heal and grow you. If you’re anything like me, once you get really INTO that process - you will never want to leave.
So I priced the membership at $33 USD/month for that reason. The value is much higher than that! I wanted this to be accessible as a long-term support system for LIVING YOUR MAGIC.
Many of our members have been here for years, and have no intention of leaving... Because your soul is not going to make this one dream come true and then retire. Your soul is here to grow, create and expand and there are no limits to what it can do.
The Creative Dream Incubator Coaching Membership is ongoing and you can join any time.
Again - I have been running this online membership since 2012! There is a TON of support built in here.
The program content is available 24-7 with worksheets and videos to guide you through everything.
People say it’s like having me right there with them, showing them the secrets of creative dreaming.
I'll show you how to set up your own Dream Book, which is a way of journaling that helps you navigate inner and outer work of making your dream happen.
And we do live coaching and healing circles on Zoom!
Every month, we do a New Moon Intention Setting Ceremony. We do a meditation and journaling process to reflecting on the last month, checking in with ourselves and our dreams, and setting intentions for the coming month. We focus on setting up practices and supports to help make sure you can do the thing you are intending to do. (I’ll help you come up with these! I have loads of helpful practices on the website to choose from!) Then there is some time for coaching and Q+A - I wanted to include these monthly calls in Dream Book to give everyone a chance to get the support they need with their dreams.
This one isn’t for everyone, but every month we also do a Marketing as a Creative + Spiritual Practice call. This is for the people who want to offer their creative work in some way. We focus on the spiritual work of offering our gifts and the creative work of making our gifts visible to the people they are meant for. We have a meditation and journaling practice we do for this, and then there is lots of time on the calls for Q+A - we have fantastic conversation about the work of sharing our precious gifts in such a toxic world.
I offer other calls - healing circles and coaching calls on specific topics - as they feel relevant.
Most weeks when there is no other call we do a Co-Working/Co-Dreaming call. We do a shorter meditation for connecting with our dreams and then… whatever we like! Some people work on their projects or do planning of the upcoming week and we can talk about whatever is in on our minds and hearts.
The replays are magic too!
This work is SO MUCH EASIER when you do it in community, and I have received consistent feedback that people feel this from the replays as well as the live calls.
If you can attend live of course that's amazing that we get to hang out and you can ask questions in real time. (Most of our calls happen on weekdays at 1:00 pm Central in North America)
But I want to make sure you are getting what you need from the group if you can come to the live calls or not - so there is also a forum where you can post thoughts, ideas and questions while watching replays.
Some people prefer the replays, because you can pause the meditations to explore some prompts more deeply and give yourself more time wherever you need it.
The membership is set up with creatives in mind!
You have a lot of freedom in how you move through the membership AND there is structure to help you get the most out of it. There is even an oracle you can visit that will give you a different resource to check out every time.
And NOTHING in mandatory! Just do the parts that appeal to you and feel like a fit for where you're at.
On the main page is a section for sending me an email - if you ever feel lost, you can let me know what you’re working on with your dream and I will suggest which tools and courses to work with.
"This, THIS, is why this is such genius program: Simultaneously connecting me with the essence of my biggest dream and solving the most mundane next step towards it. Thank you."
Meliors, The Holistic Tooth Fairy, www.holistictoothfairy.com
An online membership that helps you DO THE THING YOU ARE DREAMING OF so you can be more creative and bold and FEEL LIKE YOURSELF in your life.
Within the first month you'll be seeing yourself, your dreams and your whole life in a new light.
How much easier would it be to make your dream HAPPEN with consistent and effective support?
No one has ever made a big dream real on their own. But most of us don’t have a lot of supportive people around us. Or we have people around us who support us, but they don’t actually know how to help us make this thing happen.
Joining the Creative Dream Coaching Membership gives you instant support and that felt sense that YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN THIS, which is magic.
I know you have a lot of reasons why NOW is not the right time.
But your dream is a SOUL CALLING.
It’s not here to fit neatly into your life. It literally CANNOT fit in your life…. that’s the whole point.
Your dream is actually here to fuck shit up.
That is literally something my dream said to me in a meditation once which I thought was hilarious and only relevant to my one specific situation. But then I realized… actually this is a function of all dreams, all the time.
Your dream, the one you have RIGHT NOW (even if “figuring out what my dream is” is the dream, which is a valid dream!) is meant for your life RIGHT NOW.
It’s like a puzzle piece for a puzzle that is so multidimensional that you can’t possibly understand it from where you’re at.
But you will understand it, once you start puzzling.
Your dream is calling.
It’s time to answer.
Inside the membership, we will make this fun and accessible (you can take the babiest of baby steps!) and creative. WE will bring ALL the gentleness to the scary parts of facing the fears.
I promise - you are ready for your next steps. And the parts you are truly not ready for? The support and tools you get in the membership will help you get ready much faster than you can do on your own.
Time and time again, members have told me that they wanted for months or years to join, and then once they joined they realised how much better it would have been to join sooner because they would have REALLY GOTTEN MOVING with their dream sooner.
NOW is the time.
When you approach your dream as a SACRED CALLING - you'll find that the path begins right under your feet, right where you are today. Your soul set it up this way.
The Creative Dream Incubator Coaching Membership costs $33 USD/month.

I've been teaching since 2008 and creating online classes since 2011! You'll get 24-7 access to all of my best classes, including favourites like:
Project Miracle: a 30 day program for calling in the breakthrough you need right now.
Focus Pocus: a 21 day program for getting focused and making remarkable progress.
Creative With Money: a deep-dive healing program for creating a whole new inner relationship with money.
Creative Business Incubator: an in-depth program I made with everything I learned when I made the shift into doing this work full time.
... Plus so many other programs and tools I can't list them all here.
“I’m one of those people who used to think that I didn’t have enough time or money to participate in something like this.
I realize now that thinking I didn’t have enough time or money was just an excuse. It was kind of tied into not believing in my own self worth, like I shouldn’t spend the money or take time away from my kids to do this because it was silly and it wasn’t going to cause a change in my life so what’s the point.
That was just my inner critic talking, I realize now, and boy was my inner critic wrong! This HAS changed my life!”

But wait! There's more! For 2025 we are PRACTICING HOPE in the Creative Dream Incubator Coaching Membership.
The only thing that feels sure about what’s in store for us in 2025 and beyond is that if we don’t work to keep hope alive - we’ll be completely fucked.
Hope is not ✨everything✨ we need, but it needs to be the foundation. If we aren’t hopeful about things getting better, then we can’t make things better.
This is why I am doing the Year of Hope program in 2025 in the Creative Dream Incubator Coaching Membership. So we can help each other be more hopeful for our future.
The Year of Hope doesn't replace anything in the Creative Dream Incubator Coaching Membership - you still get ALL the support for making your dream REAL. I'm adding this as another thing for 2025 - you can do this with me, or not, or dip in and out in whatever way works for you.
You can ✨PRACTICE✨ your way into a more hopeful state of being.
Every week I’ll post one journal prompt about practicing hope.
Just one prompt a week will get your brain thinking in more hopeful ways and it will make space for hope to bloom in new ways. A simple journaling practice, done once a week-ish for the year, really can change EVERYTHING.
And you get an alchemy meditation that you can use connecting with hope, practicing hope and becoming more hopeful…
AND an alchemy meditation for working with hopelessness.
"Dreambook is helping me to show up for my dream, to keep connecting with my dream and to take actions that are in line with my dream.
Another thing I personally really need to be able to live my dream, and that Dreambook provides, is structure. For me Dreambook is about creating my own structure to do the necessary inner work, outer work and dream work to be able to walk my path.
By sending me reminders Andrea helps me to do this work, even (or especially) when I am stuck and procrastinating.
By working with Dreambook my dream is actually coming true, step by step."”

Here's what you need as a minimum to get started:
- A computer or mobile device with an internet connection to access the membership
- A journal: ANY kind of notebook, whatever you like to use. I do suggest something on the larger side, like printer paper sized, to give you enough space for the processes you'll be doing. But of your muse prefers a smaller notebook then by all means!
- 1 hour per week OR every other week to listen to replays from our coaching calls while folding laundry, having your Sunday morning coffee or tea or whatever you want - this is enough to get you seeing your path in whole new ways!
Since this is an ALCHEMICAL CONTAINER, stepping into it will change things and before you know it you'll be engaging with your dream in new ways.
Here's everything you would need to make the absolute most of this:
- Some time EVERY WEEK. 2-4 hours a week is ideal, but if you have less time you can still use the time you have to make progress with your dream. A lot of us find that when we spend more time doing the Dream Work, we actually end up more productive with the Outer Work. And in all honestly - even just giving your dream 1 hour or less a week moves you forward so much faster than "waiting to have enough time" ever will.
- OPTIONAL: printer, scissors + glue for printing out the printables and pasting them into your journal. If you're not a printables person you can use my worksheets as guides and just do the work in your journal. There are also printable bundles with a whole month's worth of printables, which makes it easier to print everything at once, if you are using a print shop.
I would love to work with you make your creative dreams HAPPEN.
Inside the membership you get live calls with me. But if the call times don’t work (they are usually at 1:pm Central, North America as this seems to reach most of the world) you can leave comments on our private website or email me any time!
I LOVE this work, I am grateful that I get to do it - and want to help you succeed with your dreams.
If you have any questions at all - just email me right here. I’m happy to help you figure out if this is a good fit for you.
