Start here: CREATIVE DREAM 
ALCHEMY
YOU are the magic that makes your dreams happen.
YOUR PRACTICE is where you access + grow + direct that magic. This is complex and nuanced work!
YOU ARE THE MAGIC guide + journal has more info on Creative Dream Alchemy and how to PRACTICE creative dreaming in such a way that you TRANSFORM the obstacles, doubts, etc into the raw materials you use to build your dream.
Let's PRACTICE with the Creative Dream Alchemy Meditation
Your dream is either in your hands or it's up on the shelf.
Creative Dream ALCHEMY means all of the inner and outer obstacles can shift, morph and change into something else... as long as you stay in process. As long as you don't let go of your dream. As long as you keep FACING all of the "stuff of Creative Dreaming".
In a nutshell, Creative Dream Alchemy means tending to the spiritual, emotional AND practical aspects of making your dream real.
If you are looking only at the practicalities - your dream probably IS impossible!
But it's NOT impossible when you do the deeper spiritual work of accessing your MEDICINE. Your unique gifts, magic and creativity to create in your life. Tapping into all of this means tapping in the tremendous amounts of POWER that come when you answer a SOUL CALLING. (That's the DREAM WORK)
And then the work becomes a lot easier when you have supportive and effective ways of being with all of the fears, doubts and panics that will inevitably pop up along the way. (That's the INNER WORK)
And with the Dream Work and Inner Work handled... when you are deeply tapped in to your true gifts an power AND not holding yourself back... then the Outer Work becomes possible, and you can build your dream, one step at a time.
Use Dream Work practices when:
* You want to learn more about your dream and figuring out what it needs.
* You don't know what to do.
* You don’t feel clear about what your dream is .
* You’ve been working on your dream for a while and it’s starting to feel like work (you're losing sight of the magic).
Dream Work is also really good to do as a daily/regular practice - it's like a magic generator. PARTNERING with the soul of your dream is always the most effective way to get there.
Inside the Creative Dream Incubator Membership, there are 12 different alchemy meditation + journaling practices and 14 different courses to help you go deeper into the MAGIC and POWER of Dream Work.
Use Inner Work practices when:
* You are emotionally uncomfortable in some way: afraid, frustrated, angry, sad, etc.
* You are doubting that your dream is possible.
* You know what steps to take but you’re not taking them.
* You want to work on increasing your connection to your inner gifts + resources.
* You need a miracle.
Inner work can be so confusing and uncomfortable! But the more often you engage with it (even in really small ways) the easier it gets to navigate through it.
Inside the Creative Dream Incubator Membership, there are 21 different alchemy meditation + journaling practices and 12 different courses to help you go deeper into the MIRACLES and HEALING of Inner Work.
Use Outer Work practices when:
* You are ready to take steps out in the world (you feel ready AND you know what to do)
* You want to plan out your next steps for making your dream real.
Outer Work should always come out of the Dream Work and Inner Work - so when you're engaging with those practices regularly the Outer Work will be a lot less complicated.
When the Outer Work feels like a struggle or there is pressure or exhaustion - focus on the Inner Work and Dream Work instead.
Inside the Creative Dream Incubator Membership, there are 8 different alchemy meditation + journaling practices and 17 different courses to help you be more ORGANISED and CONSISTENT with your Outer Work.
Hi! I’m Andrea and I created the Creative Dream Incubator because I believe in the magic of our dreams.
I’ve been an artist and dreamer my whole life and these days I wouldn't trade it for anything... but it used to be really difficult because I am also highly sensitive, wildly introverted and didn’t have the confidence to get out there and SELL my art or MAKE THINGS HAPPEN.
After I got a Bachelor of Applied Arts in Fashion Design, I set out to become a textile artist... but then spent most of my 20s as a typical starving artist and taking random jobs when I needed to and trying to figure out… How do I DO THIS? How do I actually BE the artist I know I AM?
The harder I tried, the less things worked out for me. I felt the pull of my creative dreams, I felt I had gifts to offer the world, but I couldn’t find my in to actually doing it.
Getting un-stuck wouldn’t come until years later, after I’d taken so many classes in healing, personal development and manifesting that I became a certified spiritual teacher, counsellor and healer.
Which was NOT what I set out to do! I set out to figure out how to deal with my own dreams, not become a space-holder and midwife for YOUR dreams too! But that's what I did, when I was 37.
And here I am now, at 52, and I could not be happier about where this work has brought me. The Creative Dream Incubator turned 15 on Jan 1, 2026 and every year this work feels more fulfilling and profound.
The big thing I have learned in all of this is that pursuing a dream is an INTERNAL ALCHEMICAL PROCESS that is lead by your SOUL.
You need to focus on this INNER PROCESS FIRST and you need to let your soul be in the lead. You need to make space to allow the alchemy to happen. Your mind doesn't know how to make your dream real - but your soul does.
The path is INSIDE you, not OUTSIDE. The POWER that makes it happen is inside you, not outside.
I'm asking you to come with me into the DEEP MESSY SOUL WORK of living more deeply aligned with your MEDICINE, GIFTS and MAGIC.
This means TRUSTING your dream instead of trying to force it to happen on your terms. This means TRUSTING your soul even when it's asking you to do the scary thing. This means TRUSTING the wisdom of your ACTUAL FEELINGS and not trying to bypass them.
The REAL work of making a dream come true is the work of BEING who you really ARE.
Drawing all of the MAGIC, MEDICINE, CREATIVITY and POWER that lives in your soul... out into your life... is an ongoing process.
Creative Dreaming is a PRACTICE and not a destination. But once you are deep in a practice - you can go anywhere you want with it.
And you can choose to participate in that inner process by starting to PRACTICE Creative Dreaming - no matter what is happening in your life right now.
You don’t have to feel ready, your life can be a mess, you don't even need to believe in yourself OR your dream and you don’t need more than 15 minutes a day to get started!
And once you are IN THIS INTERNAL PROCESS... you are literally making space where anything can happen. You end up creating MORE options, by focusing less on the outer aspects of your dream, and going deeper into the inner soul work of it.

Your dream is sacred. This is how your soul calls you onto your path.
You can trust the magic of your dream. You can RELY on it's power to help you build the dream in your life.
But...
You can rely on that power only to the extent that you SHOW UP and answer the spiritual call of your dream.
Like, if you keep your dream on a shelf, your dreams similarly keeps the magic on a shelf. When you are all in, the magic is all in with you.
So let's go all in.
The Creative Dream Incubator will help you hold space for the alchemy that will take what you have - your unique constellation of dreams, inspiration, creativity, doubt, fear, fog, confidence and uncertainty - and turn it into a path that leads to everywhere you want to be.
WITHOUT: forcing yourself to do things you won't want to do, stuffing your uncomfortable feelings down, or following some "expert's" idea of HOW to make your dreams happen.
I believe in you. I believe in the magic and power of your dreams. And I am thrilled to dream with you and share all of my tools for doing this DEEP MESSY SOUL WORK in a way that helps you create more of what you want in your life.
“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.”

The big magic happens in the Creative Dream Incubator Membership which you can join for $33USD/month because I want this work to be as accessible as possible.
This is where we practice Creative Dreaming together!
But if you’re not sure about committing to a membership - try Project Miracle. This is a 30 day alchemy meditation + journaling program for calling in the shift you need now and it includes 30 days of access to the membership so you can check it out.
Inside the membership you can access ALL of the Creative Dream Incubator e-courses, alchemy tools and live coaching and healing circles calls.
This is DEEP creative-spiritual-healing-magic work and one size does NOT fit all, so there different options.
Because alchemy meets you where you are and moves you to where you want to be, the membership is for people at every stage of the process, from the beginning stages of figuring out what their dreams even are, all the way to established dreamers who are taking care of well-grown dreams while birthing their next-level dreams.
The membership is full of smart, progressive, creative people - artists, healers, therapists, activists + visionaries - and YOU are going to fit right in.
If you are ready to jump in, go deep, and make all your dreams come true:
You'll start with the Dream Book program. This is an in-depth year long alchemical container for navigating the space between where you are and where you want to be. This is where you go DEEP into the inner alchemy... and tie it to the steps you take in the outer work. This is where we "go deeper and be braver" with our dreams.
If you want to figure out how to show up for your dreams, but you're overwhelmed with life right now:
You'll start with Dream Book 2026. This is an alchemical container but this is where we focus on HOLDING SPACE for yourself and MAKING SPACE for your dreams without any pressure to do the outer work. If you can give this 15 minutes a day (or a few times a week) you can get into the alchemy!
Either way, we will be DREAMING TOGETHER!
You can do this introvert style and watch videos and play in your own journal and just send me a question when you need extra support... or you can come to all the calls (we have one most weeks) and dive into the very special magic of NOT BEING ALONE WITH YOUR DREAM.
We do a monthly Intention Setting and Alchemy Circle on Zoom, right before the new moon. This is where we work out your plan for your dream for the next month - with your soul’s guidance. There’s also time here for coaching and talking through the stuff you are facing with your dream.
And we do regular Co-Dreaming/Co-Working sessions, also on Zoom. We DREAM TOGETHER, starting with an alchemy meditation for connecting with the soul of our dreams to get insight and support. Then we just… dream and work together. Some people work on art projects, some people do their weekly planning, some people share what’s happening with their dreams.
We also do regular Marketing as a Creative + Spiritual Practice calls, for the people whose dreams include offering their work to the world. This is NOT about strategy, the internet is full of advice about marketing! This is about going deeper into the creative and spiritual work of understanding how to offer your gifts in a way that they people they are for can fully RECEIVE them. This is the magic that makes any strategy actually work for you.
The membership also gives you access to a whole library of courses for Creative Dreaming.
Imagine feeling stuck about money... and having a whole CREATIVE WITH MONEY program to help you work through it... complete with a Late Stage Capitalism Update to help you sort through the unique stress and complication of these times.
Imagine struggling to focus and get to work... and having a whole FOCUS POCUS program that helps you create momentum!
Inside the membership you have a whole library of tools that help with each specific thing you face on the path to your dream.
"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."”

People usually join the membership when they are:
- figuring out what their next dream is
- getting to a "next level" with their dreams and want more support
- just totally stuck and not sure what to do
But then people usually STAY in the group (this membership started in 2012 and we do still have some of the original members!) because they see how much better everything in their life is with ongoing support for the DEEP MESSY SOUL WORK of living more deeply aligned with your MEDICINE, GIFTS and MAGIC.
“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!”

This works for ANY dream.
You can be starting or growing a business, writing a book, getting into healthier eating habits, starting a new hobby, getting more rest, creating an entirely new body of work or figuring out what your next dream is. People have successfully used Dream Book for all of those dreams and lots more.
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, promise yourself you are going to REALLY DO THIS - and sign up for the annual subscription for $363 which gives you one month free over the monthly subscription.

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.
Even just giving your dream 15 minutes a few times a week moves you forward so much faster than "waiting to have enough time" ever will.
