  2. 2Guidance is framed as support for inner knowing, not a substitute for judgment or personal choice.
  3. 3The Request, Receive, Record practice combines intention, meditation, memory, and writing to invite meaningful connection.

Don't miss

MaryAnn DiMarco leads the Request, Receive, Record exercise, followed by Gabrielle Bernstein’s vivid account of visiting with her grandparents.

The brief

Gabrielle Bernstein welcomes psychic medium MaryAnn DiMarco to discuss why deceased loved ones may appear in dreams and how those experiences can feel meaningful.

DiMarco describes dreams as a receptive in-between state, where messages may arrive through speech, telepathy, symbols, feelings, or the dream’s overall scenario.

The episode’s central tension is how to remain open to guidance without overthinking, treating every dream as a warning, or surrendering personal judgment.

For people who do not remember dreams, the conversation turns to meditation, writing letters, daydreaming, and noticing intuitive sensations or signs while awake.

The standout practice is Request, Receive, Record: relax, invite a loved one into a dream or meditation, then write down what emerges without forcing an outcome.

Bernstein’s vivid visitation with her grandparents illustrates the episode’s larger frame: familiar places, memories, and personalities can support grief work, forgiveness, and healing.
