You have sent me many dream questions and I’ve been waiting for a rainy day to answer them. Well, it’s raining. So, I’ve shut off my cell phone and hung the Do Not Disturb sign on my door that I “permanently borrowed” from a hotel room. In order to answer them all, I’ve created a dream series because I believe that by reading the answers to the dreams of others we enrich our waking-life. Each section in the series will focus on answering your dream questions.
Today, your wildest dream questions are my main priority.
Your Questions: I have recurring dreams of meeting a celebrity I like and not being able to take a picture with them for various reasons and feeling pissed. What does this mean? People have dreams with celebrities in them all the time. Do celebrities have dreams with nobodies in them? Why do people have dreams to meet the celebrities in their life? I had a dream last night with Lady Gaga in my face painting pink freckles on it. The dream was annoying; I didn’t want her to do that. Does she have dreams painting on random people’s faces?
What great dreams and questions. Celebrities hold a special place in our hearts and minds, and that can manifest them in our dreams.
We often imagine celebrities as living the perfect life after overcoming the odds of climbing the ladder of success. They were discovered, considered worthy of stardom and their worth is now celebrated. They have ‘Handlers” in the form of agents, attorneys and accountants who look after them and take care of their every need. We may desire to be successful financially and emotionally like we imagine they are.
Society and the media has elevated celebrities and used them as the success measuring device for life.
We are bombarded with it on TV, the radio and movies. We may subconsciously want to be in their social circle, be loved and in demand like they are, and live their party life.
This deep desire can play out in your dreams.
Another aspect to dreaming of celebrates can only be explained by you answering these questions:
· What is it about that celebrity that is most like you or opposite of you?
· What aspect of their personality is reflected in your personality or lacking in your personality?
· What is it about them that you respect and feel could be helpful to you? Is it their strength, fortitude, sexiness, or attractiveness?
· Have they overcome obstacles that are now a part of your waking world?
A client once told me Lady Gaga and her friends marched into her living room, sat on her couch and waited for her to get dressed to come out and party with them. The client was going through breast cancer treatment and felt lonely and unattractive.
Look at the play on words; “sat in her living room and waited….”
After answering the questions above the dream message was clear to her.
• Be yourself,
• Overcome your obstacles,
• Connect with strong women who will wait for you to join them in life.
• Don’t worry about what others think of you,
• And remember- however you are, you were born this way.
Yes, I’m pretty sure Lady Gaga has dreams of non-celebrities and may even wish she were able to walk freely down the street unnoticed. And what’s more, Lady Gaga may dream of her favorite celebrities because everyone dreams their desires.
I hope this helps to answers your incredible dream questions. Ask me anything in the comment box.

“Few are those who can see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.”
~Albert Einstein
Lyric Benson Fergusson loves God and life so much she feels they should both be a part of the Divine joy she lives. There is no place Lyric refuses to take God. Hence-French Kissing God.
I began the interview with, “So, let’s ask the most obvious question-How did you come up with this awesome, yet provocative title and how does it tie into your book of poetry.”
Her answer astounds me with her Inner-guidance journey.
Lyric took me on a wild ride through her life of Hollywood Royalty to Celibate Monk.
She explained how her book, French Kissing God, is full of wildly fun poetry as courageous as its title. In this radio interview, she also explains in detail how she came up with the provocative name for her book and how it is a perfect fit for her life.
What makes Lyric’s poetic story so astounding is her upbringing as a Hollywood offspring, raised religious free, yet still finds her bliss through God’s imprint on everything-practical and impractical.
It does not seem likely that the daughter of actor/director/songwriter Robby Benson of the movie and television productions Ice Castles, Beauty and the Beast/director of sitcoms Friends and Ellen and whose mother is actress/rock star Karla DeVito who toured with singer Meatloaf and starred on Broadway’s Pirates of Penzance, would trade in an elite Hollywood life for that of a celibate monk, but Lyric did.
So, what created the profound shift in her life?
At the age of nineteen, suddenly faced with a major family crisis, her own unimaginable physical pain, and the loss of a dear friend in the Twin Towers collapse on 9/11, Lyric was in such extreme emotional and physical agony, she began to pray.
Prayer created the moment that changed her life.
Lyric’s spiritual search for God became all consuming. “My parents were wonderful loving people who just did not believe in religion. I lived in a Hollywood-influenced home. For some reason, my search and love for God became of paramount importance in my life. I found my way to transcendental Meditation and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and joined his coherence-creating group for world peace.” Lyric spent the next eight years in eyes-closed meditation for up to ten hours a day while living a monastic life.
In silence, she awakened to God’s presence through a stage of extreme bliss.
“In my humble experience, the path towards God-realization is at times extremely challenging, because you are swimming in such a different current than the rest of the world. But, life is often challenging anyway. So you might as well hold God’s hand through the process. Once your grip is tight around God’s palm, and you feel the heat of His fingertips as your own-creation becomes so strikingly beautiful.” Lyric says.
During this interview, Lyric leads us on a journey of enlightenment from her life as a celibate monk seeking God to experiencing “unimaginable Divine Union and bliss” to a everyday housewife.
What does living a monastic life mean? It entails:
- Rising at 3:45 am for eight to ten hours of
- Simple meals
- No TV, radio or “outside influence”
- Living in a state of celibacy
Lyric says she deeply experiences God as a manifestation in everyday experiences, in everything we touch, in every human being. But, as unknowable as Divinity may ultimately be, she still finds God completely intimately accessible.
While Benson Fergusson may only be 32, her timeless wisdom speaks for itself. As she read one of her Rumi-esque poems I was magically transported through the thrill of a young woman’s awakening in her body, mind, and soul to the unspeakable immensity of Divine love. Lyric masterfully unites the spiritual with the sexual.
But there is an earthbound love story involved here, too. No! Not the one about kissing God. It is about how Lyric reconnected with her college boyfriend after he too had chosen to live a monastic life. It is a beautiful love story. It’s unfolding shows how true love is timeless and conquers all when blessed by the Divine.
Today they are happily married and on the same incredible path that still revolves around their faith and belief. That is vivaciously refreshing and downright sexy.

Each section in the series will focus on answering your dream questions.
Today, your wildest dream questions are my main priority.
Your Question: How do you tell dreams from reality? Are dreams less vivid?
Dreams can be as vivid as reality while you are in the dream state, and that is why one of the types of dream we can have is known as a Waking Dream.
Waking dreams fell like a dream joke. We think we have awakened, are preparing for work or school as we do during our daily routine, and then when the door to the bus or our car opens we see the driver is Harry Potter.
Ding-ding! You are still dreaming.
We wake up and want to pinch ourselves to be sure it’s was a dream and that now we really are awake, because a waking dream can consist of multiple doors. We are relieved when we think we just woke up from Harry Potter, only to find that as we walk out our front door we are now in Jurassic Park.
When do the dreams end and reality begin? “Am I stuck in my dream world FOREVER?” you might ask.
These waking dreams can be so ludicrous that we actually laugh ourselves wake. So how do we know when the dream has stopped morphing between tricky dream realities and our car is just a car?
Pain is awakened reality. Pain wakes us up. Also, true reality has validation.
However, you can also have a Precognitive Dream that is validated in reality, such as a medical report, or meeting the person in your dreams from three nights ago in a movie theatre when you sit beside them.
Dreams are magical.
A vivid Lucid Dream is part of your reality. Reality is grounded. An example would be not flying through the air with just our bodies when we are awake.
I hope this helps to answers your incredible dream question. Ask me anything.

Russ Illes: Wicked Duct Tape: Communication
I have been having more and more conversations with men and getting their perspective. I have had 15 years of therapy of some sort of another and still, I have never felt heard. In conversations with other Dads is where I feel heard and validated.
I know that my feelings are not unique. There is, however, a need for us men to create a language in order to discuss how to better deal with crises within the family.
We must be able to communicate without feeling like it would cost us our masculinity.
There is a need for us to create a language to discuss these things without feeling like we have lost the fight-for-life, often our families, before we have even begun to plan.
One of the biggest problem is we often don’t have a plan and are reluctant to ask for help because, after all, are we not the strong protector of the family who can fix anything with a little Duct Tape and determination?
One way to do this is to use the information in my book Duct Tape Won’t Fix This, to help you start the conversation with your wife and family. Read aloud some part that resonates with you and just start there.
Please join the conversation, because you are not alone.
About The Show Host: Russ Illes is the Author of Duct Tape Won’t Fix This and an 8-year cancer hospice volunteer.

In today’s climate of growing energy needs and increasing environmental concern, alternatives to non-renewable and polluting fossil fuels must be more available and more readily used.
With the improvements made over the last several years, solar can be the answer to your electric woes, more so than wind or hydro power. The regulations and innovations that come together in the second half of this decade will set the stage for what the future of electricity in the US and elsewhere looks like.
Solar is Hot Hot Hot
More solar power capacity was installed in the US last year than natural-gas capacity. The solar market grew by 17% in 2015 alone. Individuals are boarding the solar train by the droves with the residential solar market growing 66% since 2009. California is Number 1 in solar installations followed by North Carolina and Nevada.
This is good news for those of us who firmly believe that clean air and the stability of the planet are things we desperately need.
Leonardo DiCaprio thinks so too!
2016 will be a banner year with new innovations and programs spurred on by the Clean Power Plan and the Paris Talks. 2016 is also a year were we’ll be seeing 5 new solar trends.
Additionally as a result of the Paris Talks, countries are developing their renewable plans working toward completion by 2020. Uganda has developed a solar bus. Rwanda is constructing rent-to-own solar systems for off-grid villages.
Morocco is building a $3.9 billion solar energy project that will be the size of Rabat.
And despite all the grumbling from individual states, solar energy projects are at the forefront as required by the Clean Power Plan.
