The process of making a dream real is multi-faceted and entirely non-linear and complicated to say the least.
A lot of planners fail you because they don’t leave room for:
resting
healing
making quantum leaps
taking extended journeys to the underworld to uncover lost parts of yourself
finding new dreams along the way
discovering new parts of yourself along the way
doing the things that help you deeply, truly, fully understand how wildly magical and gifted you actually are...
... then using that magic and those gifts to make your dream real
Your Creative Dreamer holds space for all of this AND keeps encouraging you to go deeper into your process to get more MAGIC out of it.
Your Creative Dreamer is the planner that helps you heal so hard you make all your creative dreams come true.
It does this by creating your right-fit plan that meets you where you are... and then by using the tools in the Creative Dream Incubator membership to get to where you want to be!
Your Creative Dreamer includes:
(This is a photo of what the weekly undated planner will look like - there will be plenty of photos of the daily planner to come as I start using it)
A printable dated daily 2027 planner that is also space for your daily-ish Creative Dream Alchemy PRACTICE.
This is where you make space for the layers and facets of the ALCHEMY of Creative Dreaming:
Making space to really BE WITH YOURSELF. To sort through your thoughts and feelings. To process some of the overwhelm that we're all feeling.
Strengthening your capacity for self trust and self believe while deepening your connection to your inner gifts, medicine and magic.
Making plans for each week that include SELF CARE and honouring your needs while tending to your dreams
Reflecting consistently, learning from your process and applying what you learn to what you do next (this is where you start to develop the MOMENTUM to move towards your dreams)
But let's be honest: sometimes a daily planner is too much!
So you also get undated daily, weekly and monthly planners so you can do this in the way that works for you. Showing up MESSY is always more powerful than waiting for the perfect conditions to do the thing perfectly (which is never going to happen anyway).
New printable planner pages come out every month so you can always pick the option that best fits your schedule.
Your Creative Dream ALCHEMY Plan.
We're not just planning your days while mapping out your plan to make your dream real... we are planning how to get deeper into the ALCHEMY of Creative Dreaming, that place where fears, doubts and obstacles become the raw materials you use to create insight and fuel for the journey.
This is where the POWER to make your dreams real comes from.
This plan will fit your life today and give you a sturdier foundation as a visionary and dreamer.
Logistics + Supplies:
First of all, there are no rules! If you have planners, notebooks and tools you love then you'll use those. People are VERY creative inside the membership and get always get new ideas from each other...
But what I suggest for this is to use a standard binder, so you can move things around and make more space as needed.
You will also need: some dividers (or make your own tabs!) and index cards (again, you can also just cut out card stock or art papers to make your own).
Other than that, you an get as creative as you like or keep it as simple as you like, in terms of using art supplies, collage, etc.
Your Creative Dreamer uses the tools + supports that are in the Creative Dream Incubator membership.
So Your Creative Dreamer is only available as a part of the membership. Read on to find out more + join!
When you're ready to heal so hard you make ALL of your dreams come true... this is the membership that will help you with the nitty gritty step by step of how to DO that.
Hi! I’m Andrea and I created the Creative Dream Incubator because I think your dreams really MATTER.
I’ve been an artist and dreamer my whole life. 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?
I felt the pull of my creative dreams, I felt I had gifts to offer the world, but for so long I couldn’t find my in to actually doing it....
When I figured it out, I got to work building the Creative Dream Incubator because I learned that we're not supposed to dream in isolation. Our dreams thrive in community.
By then, I’d taken so many classes in healing, personal development and manifesting that I became a certified spiritual teacher, counsellor and healer.
At this point, the Creative Dream Incubator is 15 1/2 years old. The membership itself is 14 years old. This is a solid community! And the work has grown and evolved and every year it feels more fulfilling and profound.
We have been making BIG magic happen together for years. And we are NOT slowing down now.
I've built the Creative Dream Incubator membership with no AI and hardly even any kind of a "team" - just some support for security and functionality of the website.
I hand-draw the printable journaling prompts. I record the meditations by myself (in my bedroom closet).
I work closely with the people in the membership - if you show up to calls or leave comments on the site, I will be there with you, offering encouragement and answers to your questions.
I have spent all these years really being IN IT - working with creatives, healers and activists and going DEEP into the process of making their dreams real... and creating tools and supports to help them make it happen.
The Creative Dream Incubator Membership is now filled with those tools and supports - and I keep adding more to address how to hold onto our dreams in these dystopian times.
We dream DIFFERENT in the Creative Dream Incubator. We dream in the DEEP END.
Which means we're not working hard, staying positive no matter what and chasing after our dreams no matter how overwhelmed we may be... we are deepening into the process.
In the membership I share tools, structure and ongoing support for doing the deep sometimes-messy inner soul work of living more deeply aligned with your MEDICINE, GIFTS and MAGIC.
This means you never need to:
❌ just think positive
❌ fake it till you make it
❌ work harder
❌ take big scary risks
❌ wait for the right time
You are so much more POWERFUL when you have the right support.

We need our Creative Dreams, now more than ever.
“I am staring out of the window in an extremely dark mood, feeling helpless. Then a friend, a fellow artist, calls... he asks, ‘How are you?' and instead of ‘Oh, fine... and you?', I blurt out the truth: ‘Not well. Not only am I depressed, I can’t seem to work, to write; it’s as though I am paralyzed, unable to write anything... I’ve never felt this way before…' I am about to explain with further detail when he interrupts, shouting: ‘No! No, no, no! This is precisely the time when artists go to work... not when everything is fine, but in times of dread. That’s our job.' I felt foolish the rest of the morning, especially when I recalled the artists who had done their work in gulags, prison cells, hospital beds; who did their work while hounded, exiled, reviled, pilloried. And those who were executed... this is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal.”

The membership will 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: pushing you 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.
So you will:
⚡️ trust yourself more
⚡️ FEEL MORE POWERFUL in how you use your unique creative and spiritual gifts
⚡️ show up more consistently for your dreams, and use that consistency to GENERATE MORE MOMENTUM
“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.”

"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
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 are different options. I am VERY hands on in the membership to help you find the courses and structure that will work best for you.
Because alchemy meets you where you are and moves you to where you want to be, the membership its for every stage of the process, from the beginning stages of figuring out what your dreams even are, all the way to caring for your well-grown dreams while birthing your 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.
We do tend to work in the DEEP END, so the membership is more suited to people who already have experience with healing, growing and living an intentional life... but if you are new to all of this and feel like you want to jump in in the deep end - join us!
You'll get tools + support for wherever you're starting from.
There is a whole program for when you are TOO OVERWHELMED FOR THIS AND CAN'T EVEN.
And then there is a whole program for navigating the path all the way to a dream come true.
And then there are programs for everything in between.
Once you're in the magic - you are IN THE MAGIC.
You can baby step or take big leaps. You can come to ALL the live Zooms. Or You can do this stealth introvert style and watch replays and play in your own journal and just send me a question when you need extra support.
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.
24-7 access to a whole library of courses that address EXACTLY what you are facing.
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.
And if you're in a really unique place where nothing quite fits - email me! I'll help you put together a custom curriculum!
"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!”
Melody Flurry
