EPISODE 288: THE SECRET MIND AND DREAMING (WITH BONNIE BUCKNER)
Nichole Bigley welcomes Dr. Bonnie Buckner — founder and CEO of the International Institute for Dreaming and Imagery® — on A Psychic’s Story to explore how dreams, intuition, and inner imagery connect to deeper insight and guidance.
Bonnie shares how dreaming is not random, but a language of experience — reflecting both what is happening within and the parts of us that may not yet be fully recognized. Through her work, she introduces the concept of the Secret Mind, a space of inner knowing that becomes more accessible through dreams and imagery.
She also shares how early experiences shaped her path, including powerful dreams in childhood, and how a lifelong connection to dreaming evolved into the work she does today.
Together, Nichole and Bonnie explore how dreams can offer clarity, reveal potential, and support both personal and professional decision-making — as well as how people can begin to strengthen their connection to dreaming (while awake and asleep) over time.
This episode is a reminder that the answers you’re seeking may already exist within you — and that your dreams may be one of the ways they come through. Listen to it to hear:
What dreams actually are and why they occur.
How dreaming connects to intuition and psychic ability.
The meaning of the Secret Mind and how it influences awareness.
How dreams reflect both challenges and untapped potential.
Ways to begin remembering and working with dreams more intentionally.
