The Secret Mind: Unlock the Power of Your Dreams to Transform Your Life, with Bonnie Buckner, PhD


August 27, 2025

Listen in now as our guest, Bonnie Buckner, PhD, helps you discover your dreams, find your purpose, and decode your subconscious. In her book, The Secret Mind: Unlock the Power of Your Dreams to Transform Your Life, creative dreamwork expert Dr. Bonnie Buckner teaches you how to use your nighttime dreams as a practical tool for not only solving your challenges, but also developing your fullest potentials and living a life of purpose. Harnessing the power of dreams has been Bonnie’s life’s work, and what she has found in doing dreamwork with executives and creatives across the globe is this: We all have a “secret mind”—the part of our brain that has all the tools we need to solve our own problems—and that “secret mind” can be accessed through our dreams.

In The Secret Mind, Bonnie shares her method for translating the mystery of dreams so that you have access to your own inner powerhouse for transformation. You will learn how to: strengthen the muscle for remembering and understanding your dreams; identify patterns and unresolved issues in dreams; and use the waking dream method to re-enter dreams to address unfinished business in your waking life. Drawing from neurobiology and social psychology, The Secret Mind presents dreaming as a practice for both personal and global development. With Bonnie’s simple tools and exercises, a more beautiful, creative world is just a dream away.

Bonnie Buckner, PhD, is the Founder and CEO of the International Institute for Dreaming and Imagery®, where she teaches people how to use dreaming and imagery for personal growth, problem-solving, and enhanced creativity. She has used dreamwork as the basis for her work as an executive and creative coach for over 20 years.
