I just finished Dreamifesting: Harnessing the Power of Your Dreams to Create the Life You Desire by Kelly Sullivan Walden, and it was such an inspiring read. I loved how she blends practical guidance with dreamwork to make the ideas feel both approachable and powerful. The exercises and insights really made me think about my own dreams in a new way. It’s a book I know I’ll come back to whenever I need clarity or motivation.

I was intrigued by the topic so I decided to give the book a read. It is a 12 week journey and it is really interesting. I don’t subscribe to manifesting necessarily because I believe there is more work required than people realize. So I was pleasantly surprised by the content in this book.

If this topic intrigues you and you’re up to the commitment, give the book a read, give it a time and see how it works for you. But it is utterly fascinating, regardless of what you believe on the topic. Quite frankly, you will walk away really questioning yourself if you are at all skeptical.

We all sleep and dream. What if we can harness our dreams to help us manifest our most important goals?

This book will guide readers to do that. It gives a 12-week program to helping us "dreamifest" our goals into reality. Each week includes various exercises and reflective prompts. If one follows the program, whether in 12 weeks or longer, it will likely help you gain clarity and confidence, as well as be able to manifest your goals.

As someone who’s long been fascinated by the power of manifestation, Dreamifesting offers a refreshing and intriguing twist: what if your nighttime dreams held the key to unlocking your dream life? Kelly Sullivan Walden, a seasoned dream expert, invites readers to go beyond vision boards and affirmations and dive into the subconscious realm where transformation truly begins.

What sets this book apart is its fusion of metaphysical spirituality with practical, step-by-step guidance. The 12-week program Walden outlines isn’t just another self-help checklist—it’s a journey into the dreaming mind, designed to help readers rewire limiting beliefs and tap into resources that often go unnoticed in waking life. The idea that your dreams can “do the heavy lifting” of manifestation is both empowering and deeply poetic.

I’m still working my way through the program, and while I haven’t yet mastered dream recall (a challenge Walden acknowledges and addresses), I’m already noticing a shift in how I approach my intentions. The exercises are accessible, and the tone is encouraging without being preachy. It feels like having a wise, mystical coach whispering in your ear while you sleep.

If you’ve ever felt like traditional manifestation techniques weren’t quite enough—or if you’re simply curious about the untapped wisdom of your dreams—this book might be the missing piece. It’s not just about dreaming big; it’s about dreaming smart.

Thank you, St. Martin's Press, for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

Okay, Dreamifesting by Kelly Sullivan completely blew my mind. I’ve always had weird, vivid dreams and knew they meant something but I just couldn’t figure them out. This book changed that. Not only did it help me understand the deeper meanings behind my dreams, but it also gave me tools to actually use them to manifest the life I want. Like… what?! I love the power of manifesting and this book combines learning more about my dreams and using them to get further in life and obtain the life I want, which is really exciting.

The 12 week program in the book is approachable and empowering. It’s not just theory; it’s practical, soulful guidance that really gets you in tune with your subconscious mind. I’ve already started remembering my dreams more clearly and actually feel like they’re helping guide me toward goals I didn’t even know I had.

If you’re into manifestation, self-discovery, or just want to make sense of all the bizarre stuff that happens while you sleep, you NEED to read this. Dreamwork just leveled up, and I’m here for it.

Dreams as messages. Dreams as tools. Dreams as power. ✨💤💫

Thank you to NetGalley, Kelly Sullivan, and St. Martin’s Essentials for the eARC of this book.

This book, on working with and using your dreams, was overall very helpful. I generally don't (or didn't!) remember my dreams at all. However, after reading just a couple of chapters in this book, I began remembering my dreams! For that reason, I do recommend this book.

I will say, however, that I found a lot of the text and imagery a little bit too cute. While some may need/like/want that, it was not for me. Notwithstanding, I'll give credit to the author for helping me finally remember and work with my dreams.
