Hoooo this one's exciting! Not only did I just go through a major rebrand, but this weekly newsletter is getting a makeover too.
Welcome to Dream Notes, your weekly Monday newsletter on all things dreams, OBEs, updates on my projects, and other weird stuff.
In this edition of Dream Notes:
Huzzah!
A Dream Interpretation Column
I asked and you responded...
*Blaring Trumpets*
I'm thrilled to announce the next chapter of my work, Dearest Waking Dreamer!
"Dearest Waking Dreamer is a twice-monthly paid newsletter by dream interpreter and author Meg Bartlett, written for the curious soul looking to deepen their self-awareness and connection to the universe. Each issue features a dream interpretation column detailing answers to your dream or OBE questions and thorough interpretations of a dream submission.
Whether you're a lifelong dream journaler, an OBE explorer, or simply someone interested in understanding their dreams, Dearest Waking Dreamer invites you to the liminal space between your nighttime adventures and the waking world."
You guys... I'M SO EXCITED! (and yes, the title is a Bridgerton reference 💁♀️)
Subscriptions are $8/month and include:
- The paid, subscriber-only Dearest Waking Dreamer column delivered on the 1st and 3rd Fridays each month
- Access to the Dearest Waking Dreamer archive (this will build out as we go)
- A FREE e-book copy of Meg’s book, How to Heal Your Nightmares
- Invitations to be an ARC reader on future published works (Advanced Reader Copy - you get a free e-book copy of the work before it's released to read and review - limited to 50 readers)
I've been missing dream interpretations for a while so I'm really looking forward to this. 😊
I'm still nailing down an exact launch date but we'll be live in the next couple of weeks with the first issue releasing on or before April 3rd.
All current subscribers to Dream Notes (a.k.a. YOU) will receive a Founding Member discount code for a continuous, locked-in rate of $5/month.
Stay tuned!

A Lesson in Orbit | An Out-of-Body Experience
My eyes move back and forth beneath their lids as noise fills my ears.
The commotion of a large crowd. Coins tinkling upon concrete as they spill out of a pouch. Wind rushing through my hair—no, through the cells of my very body!—as I travel through the open air…
Then, suddenly, the sensation of my stomach dropping as if I were on a rollercoaster, but instead of plummeting down I know, without a doubt, that I’m barreling up. I begin to move faster and faster, further away from the ground, which means I must be ascending through the atmosphere. The gravitational pressure continues to increase as the sound of the wind grows to a roar and my senses begin to scream that it’s too much, too much… TOO MUCH!
Everything stops.
I feel my consciousness perched on something solid. A very slight, calm breeze moves through the empty spaces between my cells, crisp and clear. I perceive the soft laughter of children some distance away.
Stillness centers me.
My consciousness molds its gravity into an echo of my physical body and its perceptions filter back into the five physical human senses and the sixth sense of knowledge. But before the cells solidify in their shape I scan my form for traces of fear, coax the dark tendrils to a single point in my chest, and reach my right hand into the space between my ribcage. My still-solidifying fingers close around the flailing ball of black, tar-like mass and firmly pull it out. No longer within me and feeding off the energy of my thoughts, it dissolves into nothingness, melting away as if it had never existed in the first place.
Breathing a sigh of relief, I relax my shoulders and wash away all tension from my echo before looking around.
My vision cracks open and takes in the cool, silvery metal walls of an empty hallway. Slowly, I take in a bit more of my surroundings and walk over to the large, floor-to-ceiling windows. They display the most magnificent panorama: Earth.
In an instant I acknowledge that I’m aboard a craft orbiting the planet.
I breathe deeply again and find my center. It tells me that I’ve been here before, that this is nothing new, and that I have somewhere to be within these halls. The sense of knowing becomes stronger, rooting my consciousness firmly into the experience and maintaining a foothold.
My face breaks out into a grin. I’m on a craft looking down at the planet I call home and it is absolutely breathtaking.
I remember that I’m here to learn. I’m enrolled in a class that can’t be taught on Earth and the instructor is waiting.
My echo moves of its own volition as my consciousness trusts that I know where to go. I don’t think about the path ahead, the route to get to the classroom, I simply move forward and intuit my direction within each present moment.
The hallway curves toward the inner sections of the craft, moving away from the glistening starlight of the outer windows to the warmly-lit spaces further within. An ornate archway decorated with gold-plated symbols from a thousand realms triggers a sense of familiarity as I pass under it. The organic blue light of a corridor lined with bioluminescent sconces sparks a sense of admiration as I wander by. But it is the great, moss-covered tree in the center of the ship that I resonate with the most. Its ancient roots anchor deep into a large plot of stone-encircled soil in the middle of the ship’s atrium.
That's all for this week. Talk to you soon!
