Find out more about me here.
I’m Andrea Schroeder. I created The Creative Dream Incubator because I believe in a better future for everyone and I know our dreams can help show us the way there.
My training is as a spiritual teacher/counsellor/healer and fashion designer, but these days I teach journaling + meditation for navigating the space between where you are and where you want to be using your own intuition + creativity - never by following anyone else’s path.
I have been running an online membership site consistently since August 2012 (over a decade!) holding space for artists, healers, therapists, coaches and activists in the daily (inner and outer) work of following their creative dreams.
I do a free meditation + journaling class every Monday on Zoom.
On these calls we practice creative dreaming in community and it's magic every time. We meditate and journal together. Feel our feelings. Connect with our dreams. Listen to ourselves. Share our stories.
This is how we heal, grow, and work through it all, together.
(With replays provided)

This is how dreams begin.
When you look to where you want to be, there is no path.
Just an impossible chasm and no way to cross it.
When you're not engaging with your dreams it's easy for them to feel impossible.
Once you are engaged, the magic happens and possibilities begin to emerge.
When you are caught in this cycle, it's easy to believe that something outside of you has to change before you'll have any other options.
But there are loads of ways you can engage with your dream, right now.
It all begins with seeing creative dreaming as a PRACTICE, instead of a thing to accomplish:
Approaching Creative Dreams as things that you accomplish (or try to):
💫You believe that you need to know how to do it all before you can start, which makes it impossible to do anything.
💫You feel like the only options are to succeed or fail, it feels risky, scary + stressful.
💫Thinking about it can spark deep fears like "Am I good enough?"
💫You can feel pressure to accomplish the dream to prove yourself
Approaching Creative Dreaming as a Practice:
💫You have ways to engage with your dreams no matter what is happening in your life
💫You can take little steps even when you can't see the path
💫You can be in the process, receiving the medicine + magic of your dream, any time you choose to
💫Your dream will help you heal + grow RIGHT NOW before you make any changes in your life
💫Magical and restorative, your Creative Dream Practice helps you grow into the version of you who can overcome the obstacles and get to where you want to be
Having a practice:
Means to do something regularly or repeatedly. In the most practical sense, practicing improves skills.
So once you are practicing, anything is possible because you keep improving. You show up, do a thing, make mistakes, get inspired to try new things, learn + grow.
Once you are practicing a thing it will transform you.
You become better at the thing, become more confident, and then see new options for what you can do next.
To the people watching it can look like you are making quantum leaps but you know you're just taking a lot of little steps.
A Creative Dream Practice holds space for new possibilities to emerge.
Your Creative Dream Practice is space to show up for your dreams, practice, ponder, heal, grow, face the obstacles, make mistakes, follow inspiration, try new things and ultimately...
Become the version of you who can do the thing you are dreaming of.
A Creative Dream Practice is a creative practice and a spiritual practice.
Because your creative dreams are calling you towards inner and outer growth, your practice encompasses both.
Every single thing that you will need to make your dream happen will come to you in your practice, because you already have the wisdom, creativity, courage and strength that you need. Your practice is where you access it.
Practicing your creative dreams in community is magic but don't take my word for it.
Do this with us! Every Monday on Zoom - or with the replays after.
Sign up here and I'll send you:
🦄 Invitations to join me on Zoom and do this together: Co-Dreaming calls where we DO the inner and outer work of growing into the version of us who can do the thing. (We'll do this every Monday, at 2pm Central. I started this as just a "for the summer" thing but now I was to keep doing them into the fall and maybe beyond that)
🦄 Replays of the calls for everyone who can't make it live, you can totally do this with the replays and even email me your questions!
🦄 Access to my free e-courses for dreaming, healing, taking your next steps and overcoming the obstacles.
Already loving the free Co-Dreaming calls with me? Let's go deeper.
Join me in Dream Book, an online membership for Creative Dreaming!
Dream Book includes:
🌈 the most in-depth course you'll ever find for navigating the (inner and outer) path between where you are and where you want to be
🦄 a library full of alchemy practices and processes that help you with every step along the way
✨ regular Zoom calls for support and resourcing along the path (plus options to ask questions and get support even if you can't be there live)
This is the magic that makes anything possible.
I am not talking about manifesting our every desire, I am talking about really listening to ourselves - our hearts, our souls, our inspiration, our truth. And then BEING GUIDED by that inner knowing.
And I do believe, and have seen time and time again, that the things we dream of ARE possible.
Of course it’s not true that you can do literally absolutely anything. But it is true that you can do the things you are called to do - your dreams ARE your callings.
Answering those callings and DOING THE THING is a complicated and ongoing process.
This is why I offer an ongoing membership - with instant-access courses and a library of alchemical processes so you have what you need when you need it AND regular group calls (with replays!).
Dream Book was designed for smart, capable people.
We operate on the principle that your dream is your calling and so you are the only person who knows HOW to do it.
At the same time, when starting out with a new dream, NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO DO IT. This is the nature of dreams.
Dream Book is a support system for tapping more deeply into your inner wisdom and engaging with the process of Creative Dreaming.
Your dream is here to grow you.
Your dream is your soul calling you towards your true self - once you are engaging with it, this work will help grow you into the version of you who knows how to do the thing.
So Dream Book doesn't give you answers, it holds space for this process of exploration, growth and healing so that you can find your own answers.
Dream Book is the vehicle. You are the driver.
I love walking!
But any time I want to go beyond my neighbourhood, I need a vehicle of some kind.
It's the same with dreams - to go beyond that you currently are, you need a vehicle of some kind.
And then once you’re in your using that vehicle - you need tune ups! You need different maps for different parts of your journey. You need fuel and snacks.
This is the Zoom calls - a monthly intention setting call for reflecting on the last month and setting intentions for the next month - getting your bags packed with the stuff you’ll need for the next part of the journey.
On any journey - shit happens and sometimes you need extra help.
I do “extra Zooms” regularly on whatever topics we could use some support with.
Examples of recent calls: Exploring your Post-Pandemic Self, Habits Upgrade, Feeling Worthy of your Dreams, Sitting with Uncomfortable Feelings, Having a Stable Relationship With Money When The World Is Unstable, Slow the fuck down! BE as powerful, creative + magnetic as you ARE - that kind of stuff. (Replays of all past calls are available instantly when you join!)
Upcoming calls: Holding Space for Conflicting Feelings (Sept 20), Structure, Habits, Routines (Oct 18) and Centered, Grounded Present (Nov 15).
For people whose creative dream includes having a business - I also do a monthly Marketing as a Creative + Spiritual Practice call.
Though we do talk about tactics and strategies, these calls are mostly about connecting with the light of our gifts, practicing shining it out so it reaches the people our work is for, and leaning into our inner knowing about how do this in a way that draws on our values and engages our own creative magic.
*This is a deep practice that does not promise instant results.

Who is Dream Book for?
The Dream Book membership is full of artists, healers, coaches, therapists, writers, and people who are figuring out who they want to be. While there is some content specifically for that overlapping space between creative dreams and creative businesses, not everyone is working on "business dreams".
Dream Book works best for people who define themselves as creative in some way, and have some kind of spiritual life or connection to their inner world. People who enjoy taking time to reflect and explore the inner and outer aspects of their dreams.
Dream Book includes facing the hard stuff: both inside and outside of you. We recognize that we don't dream in a vacuum, we dream in the world. We talk about the difficulties of living and dreaming in a racist, sexist, capitalist world (and all the ways that dominant culture tells us who to be) as climate collapse is happening around us. So Dream Book works best for people who are not looking to spiritual bypass any of this, or pretend it doesn't exist.
Dream Book works best for people who are willing to sit with their feelings and listen to their inner wisdom before deciding how to act (even if it takes some time before you hear it!).
Dream Book is NOT suitable for people who are looking for answers outside of themselves.
If you are looking for 3 step manifesting system with a 100% guarantee or want me to give you the inspiration or energy that will make your dreams come true - this isn't a good fit for you.
Your Creative dreams are needed. Now.
Dream Book will help you keep showing up no matter how messy things get because have you noticed how messy the world is right now?
You can't wait for "a good time" to do the things you're inspired to do.
The time is NOW, even though it's awkward AF with everything that's going on in the world. That comes up time and time again on our live calls as we grapple with what it means to deal with the shit we're dealing with AND make space for the things we feel called to do.
Dream Book is three things in one
But it's fine to just focus on the parts that are most helpful for you you right now and leave the rest! Some people JUST do the classes in their own journal. Some people JUST do the live Zooms, or the replays. Some people dip in and out. Whatever works for you.
✨THE MOST✨ in-depth course on navigating the inner + outer work of making your dream happen.
Dream Book gives you the tools to navigate your path with more CLARITY and CONFIDENCE.
The course is designed so that each thing you learn is immediately applied to your life and your dreams - step by step, you keep gaining more CLARITY and COURAGE for navigating your own path.
It's A LOT of material, broken down into small lessons. The content feels less like a class, and more like on-going mini healing sessions and life coaching for your dream.
An online creative mastermind where we do the work together
The Daily Miracle Mastermind is a private forum where I share my "behind the scenes" of how I use the Dream Book framework to navigate the path to my new dreams, and invite you to share your stores, ask questions or get support.
Plus the Zoom calls! Monthly intention setting and coaching calls, and the "extra calls" mentioned above. If you can't attend live, there is space to leave me your questions so I can address them on the call, and we can discuss further in the private comment section - you don't need to be on the Zooms to get support with Dream Book.
Doing this work in community is a miracle-generator. We grow so much stronger together.
A library of alchemy tools for healing and transforming all the things that get in your way
Imagine feeling overwhelmed... and going into the alchemy library and grabbing the overwhelm process. It's a journaling sheet with a short video class where I lead you through the process of transforming your overwhelm into the thing you need most in this moment.
The alchemy library is full of tools to help you transform whatever is in your way - overwhelm, procrastination, fear, huge obstacles - we all GET stuck with our dreams, but having these practices mean you never have to STAY stuck with your dreams.
You won't just have ways to work THROUGH it. You'll have ways to turn your stucks into FUEL. This changes everything.
Here's what you'll need:
- A computer or mobile device with an internet connection to access video lessons and meditations and download worksheets.
- 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!
- Some time every week: how much time is ENTIRELY up to you. 1-2 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 glueing 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 if you are using a print shop.
"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."

“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!”

"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."”

“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.”
