I have been writing and re-writing this page a lot this year.
Creative Dreaming in an actual dystopia is really something.
I work with people who are smart, creative and also quite sensitive. The Creative Dream Incubator Coaching Membership is full of artists, healers, coaches, therapists, activists and people who are exploring who they want to be.
We understand the complexities of the world and our hearts break regularly because of it. Climate change, the rise of fascism, genocide live-streamed on social media.
We don’t want to turn away from the world. We want to be the change we want to see in the world, however we can. And we need to keep finding that balance between staying informed and staying sane.
All of this becomes the place we dream from.
The world actually needs our dreams just like it needs us to live our values in whatever ways we can.
The Creative Dream Incubator Coaching Membership is support for doing all of that.
The work we do is SO nuanced and multilayered and has only become more complex over the years as the world has become more complex.
The Creative Dream Incubator, as my business and full time work, is over 14 years old. The membership is almost 12 years old. We are well established and deeply rooted.
So for over 14 years it’s been my full time job, but more accurately it’s been my actual obsession, to learn about the process of creative dreaming. Why do some dreams come true and others never do? What makes it easier? What makes it harder?
As I’ve helped hundreds of people through the trickiest parts of the process I’ve been exploring ways to smooth out those rough patches. I take everything I learn, and apply it to how I help the next person.
Wash, rinse, repeat and 14 years later - I have a methodology for creative dreaming that is sturdy enough to work… even now.
Yes. You can be stressed out about the state of the world AND making progress on your own dreams.

When you are doing something BIGGER or DIFFERENT than anything you’ve done before.
When you have this intense feeling that you really want to do the thing even if you have no clue HOW.
When you want to be your authentic self and life your life your way even though the world is screaming at you to conform.
You are Creative Dreaming.
When you are Creative Dreaming you are naturally focused on the Outer Work of creating the thing you want to create…
But your POWER to make your dream happen comes from the Inner Work and Dream Work.
Dream Work is the soul work of growing into the version of you who can do your dream and Inner Work is the healing work of untangling the places where you hold yourself back.
So the outer work needs to be properly FUELLED by the Dream Work and Inner Work. Which are fuelled by creativity and soul.
There is NO SUCH THING as “finding the right way” in the Outer Work that will make your dream easy. If this existed I would have found it by now 😉
The only way is to dig deeper into the Dream Work and Inner Work and learn how to tie that to the Outer Work. Once you’ve got that - you’ll start to see a new kind of momentum towards your dream. You’ll be tapping much deeper into your inner resources of power, wisdom and creativity.
I offer a free Guided Journal for Creative Dreamers where I explain the Outer Work/Dream Work/Inner work model. If you’re new here - start with this.
If you’re ready to really dive into your magic and make this thing happen - keep reading to find out more + join the Creative Dream Incubator Coaching Membership.
If you’re curious about all this, but diving into the deep end with a membership sounds like a bit much - check out Project Miracle!
It’s a 30 day alchemy meditation + journaling program to help you call in the shift you need now. It also gives you full access to the Creative Dream Incubator Coaching Membership for 30 days so you can see if it’s a good fit for you.
The Creative Dream Incubator Coaching Membership will help you:
✔ Organize your dream so that you’re not spinning in circles and can Make! More! Progress!
✔ Establish ways of practicing the Dream Work and the Inner Work so that you are more POWERFUL and CLEAR in the Outer Work.
✔ Develop the ability to answer your questions about the Outer Work - by using Dream Work! Dreams come with a LOT of questions, so learning to find the right answer for you at the right time is a BIG part of Dream Work.
✔ Stay on track! With calls most weeks, a forum that’s open 24/7 for asking questions and sharing stories, and an entire library of tools that helps you with every step of the process - you have the support and encouragement to keep taking little steps and build up momentum.
✔ And if your dream includes some kind of business: we also have a Marketing as a Creative + Spiritual Practice call every month! Imagine marketing that is NOT all about “finding the right tactic to trick to algorithm” instead focuses on shining the light of the gifts you have to offer in such a way that the people you work is for can RECEIVE it.
✔ The most important thing it gives you is the least tangible. The sensation of NOT BEING ALONE WITH YOUR DREAM. Pursuing a dream can be such an isolating thing, and creative dreaming in community is SUCH a healing experience. We really are stronger together.
But one of the most MAGICAL things the Creative Dream Incubator Coaching Membership will do is help you find the BREAKTHROUGH that’s hidden in the places where you get stuck.
The places where you get stuck with your dream are your biggest opportunities for growth.
The Inner Work practices you get in the membership will help you turn every obstacle into a BURST of clarity that will show you a whole new way to get un-stuck. I use this one almost every day.
“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.”

There is a BIG caveat here.
I am promising magic and momentum and dreams coming true. I can promise this because these things happen naturally as you move into a deeper alignment with your self.
So what we do in the membership only works when your dreams are ALIGNED with your own soul and inner truth and unique creative spirit.
The world is VERY LOUD telling us who we are and what we’re supposed to want. It’s natural that we absorb some of this and it shows up in how we dream.
For example, when I left my last job to do this work full time, my income goal was much higher than the income I am happy with now. This isn’t because I gave up, played small or anything of that…. it’s because I learned more about what really makes me feel safe, happy and fulfilled in my life.
Following the path of your dream teaches you so much, and as you learn, you change. As you change your dreams change.
If you absolutely do not want your soul and deepest inner truth to ask you to change your dream in any way: you will NOT like this group.
If you’re open to REALLY listening to yourself about what is best for you - even if it gets weird: please join! You’ll fit right in 🦄🌈
The Creative Dream Incubator Coaching Membership has about 100 different resources plus ongoing live coaching circles on Zoom.
It’s literally the NETFLIX of Creative Dreaming and it’s a lot! No one looks at EVERYTHING.
There is this one program that guides you through it. It’s called Dream Book and it walks you through the process of creating a map that leads to your dream.
Dream Book combines the Inner Work, Dream Work and Outer Work of making ANY dream happen.
Each lesson is less of a “lesson” and more of a coaching session between you and your dream.
Everything you learn is IMMEDIATELY applied to your dream, your questions and your life.
So as you work through the program you are mapping out the path to your dream in your own journal, while taking the steps in your life.
It’s genius. I’m not going to be shy about saying that.
People say between the video lessons and journaling sheets - they feel like I am right there with them, showing them how to do each step while also encouraging them to put their own unique creative spin on it.
"This, THIS, is why Dream Book 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
"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."”

Dream Book will help you grow BIGGER THAN your obstacles.
You'll learn how to generate exactly the insight you need, right when you need it.
You'll turn fear and doubt into fuel for the journey.
You'll learn to generate the clarity you need, when you need it.
You'll go deeper, be braver, and surprise yourself at what becomes possible for you.
It took me about 4 years to create the Dream Book program, and I was working closely with people the whole time to really nail what, exactly, you need to get your dreams on track.
Dream Book works for ANY dream. You can be starting or growing a business, writing a book, getting into healthier eating habits, getting more rest, creating an entirely new body of work or just figuring out what your next dream is. People have successfully used Dream Book for all of those dreams and lots more.
Dream Book was designed to work with YOUR dream, and YOUR life, whatever it is. It’s a structure for Creative Dreaming, and you fill in all the details to customize it.
The first month alone will give you so many new ways to engage with your dreams - you’ll be seeing everything in a new light.
And then as you work through it, you may want to look at other courses to supplement it - so that you customize your experience.
About the online classes:
Besides Dream Book, your membership gives you 24-7 access to all of my other courses for Creative Dreaming - there are about 100 different resources! This is too much to name here, a few of the most popular ones are:
Focus Pocus: a 21 day creative support system for getting focused and making remarkable progress on your project.
Creative Business Incubator: an in-depth program which I made at the end of my first year full time with this business. This is where I share everything I’d learned in my first year of being full time in the business with lots of journal prompts for applying it all to what you are doing.
Creative Dream Alchemy libraries of Dream Work, Inner Work and Outer Work practices: These help you work through any rough spots you hit - literally. There are tools that you can use, right in the moment, overcoming all sorts of obstacles like procrastination, self doubt, fear as well as external obstacles. Creative Dream ALCHEMY speaks to the work of transforming obstacles into fuel for the journey.
Project Miracle: a 30 day meditation + journaling program for calling in the breakthrough you need right now. Sometimes it DOES take a miracle - and you'll be able to call one in when you need it.
Creative With Money: a deep-dive healing program for creating a whole new inner relationship with money. In late-stage capitalism, it takes WORK to figure out how to get your dreams and your money to play well together.
Weekly Journaling + Alchemy Kits: cut + paste journaling prompts with alchemy meditations to help you dig deeper in your journaling. You get a new kit every year for the first 2 years that you are a member.
About the live coaching calls and healing circles:
A steady stream of dream-growing inspiration and support delivered over the internet! Even if you can't be there live on the Zoom, the replays will have you seeing your dreams, your self, and your life in a whole new light! There is space to share your thoughts and ask questions in the comments so we can discuss things even if you're not there live.
A monthly New Moon Intention Setting Call for setting short-term goals and generating momentum for The Big Dreams.
Our goal is for you to end this call each month with a clear intention or goal that you're going to focus on, AND a plan for what kinds of tools + practices are going to help you do this. With loads of time for Q+A
A monthly Marketing As A Creative + Spiritual Practice Call for creating and building your unique way of sharing your gifts with the world.
For the members whose dream involves having your own business - we can do this together! We have an alchemy practice we do to explore what Marketing as a Creative + Spiritual Practice looks like for you right now, and then Q+A where we work together to plan our next steps.
Regular Co-Working and Co-Dreaming calls!
We have these calls 2-3 times a month, for checking in with your dream, co-working, getting some support for anything you are stuck with - or just hanging out in the magic of the Creative Dream Incubator.
And more calls as needed!
Whenever there is a topic that feels important I schedule an extra call - these are healing circles, community spells and group coaching calls. Some of the “extra calls” we have done are:
Your Self Doubt Is Not Yours You Deserve To Believe In Yourself
How to make more money without destroying your soul
Distractions
Creating Self Care Protocols to support yourself in being the version of you who can do your dream
Exploring Resistance + Creative Flow
Having A Stable Relationship With Money When The World Feels Unstable
Slow the fuck down! BE as powerful, creative + magnetic as you ARE.
Feeling worthy of your dreams
Being OPEN + RECEPTIVE to your dreams
Sitting With Uncomfortable Feelings
Working with Conflicting Feelings
Structure, Habits, Routines
The replays are deeply helpful and can be used whenever you need them.
“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!”
Melody Flurry
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.
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.
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.
You can ✨PRACTICE✨ your way into a more hopeful state of being.
Creative Dreaming is complex but you can start with a tiny baby 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! You need a place to record the brilliant ideas you're going to get about your dreams.
- 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.
- 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.
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.
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.
The Creative Dream Incubator Coaching Membership costs $33 USD/month.
Yes, it's a subscription! And there is a "cancel" button in your account so you can cancel any time, there's no waiting period or need to send an awkward email about it. You are in control of your subscription.
You can also make a bigger commitment to your dream and sign up for a year for $363 which gives you one month free over the monthly subscription.
Or you can take a smaller step and start with Project Miracle, a 30 day alchemy meditation + journaling program for calling in the shift you need now. With Project miracle you also get access to the full membership for 30 days, so you can check it out before deciding.
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.
