A gray morning breaks into sunlight and we follow it straight into the studio, where a voice Sacramento once trusted at 2 a.m. takes us behind the glass. Stephanie “Dreamweaver” Dorn built a legendary radio segment by doing something deceptively simple and wildly difficult: listening to strangers, interpreting their dreams in real time, and finding words that could steady a shaking hand. Two calls defined what was at stake. One man was attempting suicide on the line. Another was driving with a gun to confront his pregnant ex. Stephanie kept them talking, gathered enough detail for help, and then did the slower work—guiding one caller into a new path he later called from Afghanistan to describe. Radio wasn’t background noise that night. It was a lifeline.

We open up the toolkit that made those moments possible. Stephanie explains how the right hemisphere of the brain crafts symbols that slip past the left’s censors, why recurring images like flying, falling, giving birth, and getting stuck appear across lives, and how attention itself strengthens dream recall. You’ll hear how a “two mouths” dream flagged a double talker, why “quicksand” often means the work is a process not an event, and how a launch-and-parachute dream reveals smart risk-taking and an inner safety net. There’s even a historical detour: nineteen Titanic passengers canceled after dreams or premonitions of an iceberg. Rare or not, those stories remind us to listen when our inner alarms go off.

We also celebrate the messy, musical art of live radio. The “Dreamweaver” name was born on air when a host grabbed the Dream Weaver cart because he forgot her name—and the phone lines lit up. From yelling “pizza” to get into a shared studio, to framing each caller’s story with the perfect song, to remembering the quick wit of Chris Collins, this is a love letter to the era when listeners sat in their garages just to hear how a call would end. Press play for the saves, stay for the symbols, and leave with a sharper ear for your own night stories.

If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who keeps a dream journal, and drop a review with your strangest recurring dream—we might feature it next time.

A year’s worth of shows brings perspective—and a promise to keep things honest. We celebrate 365 with gratitude and something useful you can act on today, from beating inflation with a two‑for‑one dinner to the idea of a community meet‑up that turns listeners into neighbors. Then we hit a hard pivot into the story that wouldn’t let go: the Stacey Plaskett texts with Jeffrey Epstein during a high‑stakes hearing. We play the CNN exchange, break down the evasions, and ask the plain question no one wants to answer on camera: was it appropriate?

From there, we widen the lens. You’ll hear how allegations connected to a former Newsom chief of staff and a separate case involving FEMA funds and campaign spending fit into a larger pattern of blurred lines and public trust under stress. This isn’t about scoring partisan wins; it’s about basic standards, real oversight, and whether leaders can still say no when a no is obvious. We connect dots without forcing them, lay out what matters for taxpayers and voters, and keep the focus on accountability grounded in facts.

We also keep a little room for joy. A pristine white‑label 45 spins a Duran Duran classic, reminding us that craft, culture, and community are the antidotes to outrage fatigue. Along the way, we share a practical offer from AI Lending, including an appraisal refund at funding and a trip giveaway drawing, and float a simple idea: let’s meet up at Rock and Soul Diner and support a local spot together. If you value straight talk, local wins, and a playlist that still slaps, you’ll feel at home here.

If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves radio, politics, and vinyl in equal measure, and leave a quick review—what topic should we tackle next?
