Summary

Kacie Main shares her thoughts on the healing process. Episode 1363: The Ruse by Kacie Main on How To Heal Ourselves & The Healing Process Kacie Main's affinity for writing started as a child, writing arguably overly emotional letters to family, friends, and boyfriends, and even an anonymous poem to a widowed neighbor. The first paper she wrote in college was nominated for a first-year writing award yet she still didn't think to pursue writing as a career. She spent years successfully wandering through jobs but always trying to figure out "what I want to be when I grow up." As her career path zigged and zagged, writing was always there, lurking in the background patiently waiting it's turn. Then at 32 years old, the patience ran out. She didn't sit down to write her book, it jumped out of her at perhaps the worst, best, most confusing, and most liberating time of her life.

0:00.0	This is Optimal Living Daily Episode 1363, The Ruse, by Casey Main of CaseyMain.com and I'm
0:07.2	Justin Mollick. Happy Wednesday, hope you're having a great week, and welcome back to Optimal
0:11.5	Living Daily or the OLD podcast, where I read to you from some of the best blogs I can find and
0:16.6	get permission from. I'm supposed to be in Washington, D.C. this week, if you're in the area and want
0:22.0	to meet Get in Touch at OldPodcast.com or on Instagram at OldPodcast. For now, let's get right to it,
0:28.9	and start optimizing your life. The Ruse by Casey Main of CaseyMain.com
0:39.7	I recently heard poet, author, teacher, and certified dream therapists Roger Cometts say in an
0:45.6	interview that our dreams are just the script, a ruse to invoke feelings. He explained it,
0:52.4	isn't what happens in the dream that matters, but instead the feelings surfaced by the dream
0:57.0	that provides the real insight into our lives. This peaked my interest. I've always been curious
1:02.8	about and entertained by my dreams, and I've had many moments looking up interpretations the morning
1:07.8	after a random or particularly intense one, but I've never done any real research into them.
1:13.6	I've never investigated what the dream researchers, therapists, and psychologists say about
1:18.6	what our subconscious is up to while we're sleeping. So I turned to Google, but this time I avoided
1:25.1	the lure of the many dream dictionary websites and looked for the real research. I quickly came
1:30.6	across the dream studies portal and education blog started by a dream researcher Ryan Hurt.
1:37.0	Unsure of how much true science exists in dream analysis and always the skeptic, I checked out
1:42.1	Ryan's resume and found it was full of academic presentations, contributions to books and peer-reviewed
1:48.1	publications, and teaching experience. Apparently more people study dreams than I realized.
1:53.9	Ryan's sight seemed legitimate, so I decided it was a good place to start.
1:58.3	First, I read an article about renowned psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Carl Jung and his theories on dreams.
