Episode Details

To the spiritual community, Holly Emmerson is the founder of the Dream Oracle School, a guide who navigates the astral plane to bring back healing messages. But before she was walking through dreamscapes, she was navigating the complex reality of being a transracial adoptee in a 99% white town, feeling like a "muggle" with no magic to call her own.

In this episode, Holly opens up about the pivotal TED Talk that cracked her open, helping her realize that her "abandonment issues" were actually a deep biological imprint from losing her mother's voice in the womb. She shares the mystical story of her trip to Egypt—complete with a barking dog named Anubis—where she remembered her past life training in "Night School" and realized her purpose wasn't just to dream, but to serve.

Corissa and Holly dive deep into the power of Dream Work. They discuss why we don't need to suffer to grow, how to transform through joy instead of pain, and the fascinating mechanics of healing relationships in the dream world before fixing them in reality.

In this episode, we cover:

• The Adoptee Wound: Holly and Corissa connect on the fracture of identity that comes from transracial adoption, and how the search for "Who am I?" often becomes a spiritual catalyst.
• Night School: The concept that our spirits are busy learning, training, and healing while our bodies sleep—and how to start remembering those lessons.
• The Egypt Awakening: How a trip to the Temple of Hatshepsut and a serendipitous encounter with a dog named Anubis unlocked Holly’s dormant psychic gifts.
• Transforming Through Joy: Why we need to stop believing that healing requires suffering, and how to shift your baseline frequency to joy.
• Dream Healing: The profound story of how Holly repaired her strained relationship with her adoptive mother by meeting her in the dream space first.
