Several weeks ago I discovered the Elsewhere Dream Journal app and decided to give it a try. In this post I’ll share my thoughts and experiences with it so far. 

First a little background…I became aware of Elsewhere through Kelly Bulkeley, a dream researcher and author of several academic books on dreams. For some reason that I can’t remember, I felt compelled to look him up some weeks ago and the first thing I saw on his website was his updated review of Elsewhere. I have read a few of Bulkeley’s books and respect his work and, in fact, it was the discovery of his book “The Spirituality of Dreaming: Unlocking the Wisdom of our Sleeping Selves” that led me into my most recent deep dive into the world of dream work.

Veronica “Vero” Light is an herbalist, plant educator, medicine maker, aromatherapist, Reiki practitioner, gardener, plant lover, dirt worshiper, and co-founder of Spirit Wise Herbs & Magick in Portsmouth, NH. My husband met her in October at a Witches Market and brought me home some Spirit Wise dream balm which smells divine and has now become an essential part of my evening ritual and dream work practice. I wanted to learn more about herbalism as it relates to sleep and dreaming and asked Vero if she would let me interview her. She said yes!
