#33 Learning the Deeper Medicine of Plants Through Dreams with Lauren Morgan
What if your dreams were a direct conversation with the Earth itself?
In this episode, I sit down with Lauren Morgan, a community herbalist, dream weaver, and author of Seasonal Herbalism, whose work bridges the worlds of plant medicine and dreaming.
This conversation weaves together herbalism, dreaming, and deep Earth connection in a way that feels both grounding and expansive. You will learn how plants speak to you in your dreams, how dreaming reconnects you to the living Earth, and what it means to remember your dreams as a form of soul guidance. Lauren also shares her personal journey of losing and reclaiming dream recall, her work with mugwort and rosemary, and powerful dream experiences that reveal how plants actively teach and support us in waking life.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your dreams are meaningful, how to reconnect with them, or how plants might be communicating with you beyond the physical world, this episode will open something in you.
Notable plant allies mentioned:
- Mugwort
- Rosemary
- Hawthorn
- Cottonwood
- Magnolia
