In this contemplative episode recorded at The Treehouse, Tia Jolie and Sarah plunge deep into the personal, physiological, and metaphysical dimensions of sleep. What begins as a candid moment—Sarah’s rough night—unfolds into an expansive exploration that begins with Tia Jolie recounting the rigors of military training in sleep deprivation as part of SERE School. She sheds light on how sleep loss is used to break individuals down mentally and emotionally in survival scenarios. Her experiences—ranging from standing sleep-deprived in solitary confinement with a bag over her head, to helping others escape simulated POW camps—reveal the powerful role sleep plays in human resilience, trust, and transformation.

From her time as a long-haul flight attendant, Sarah reveals the almost neurotic preoccupation that sleep played in everyone’s minds, after which the women navigate the role of REM stages, dream recall, and brainwave frequencies—especially theta and delta states—and how they relate to healing, memory, and emotional processing.

Tia Jolie dives into the glymphatic system and the physiological “brain flush” that only happens in deep sleep, connecting gut health, serotonin, and melatonin production with the body's ability to regenerate and detoxify overnight.

Lucid dreaming emerges as a shared fascination. Tia Jolie reveals how to "set the dream stage" using immersive imagery rather than linear commands, and Sarah shares a pivotal dream in which she changes the outcome by consciously redirecting her thoughts—proving the power of intervention while immersed in the sleep state. Together, they discuss cultural sleep rituals from around the world, dream symbolism, and their belief that this waking earthly life may, in fact, be the dream!

More than an episode on sleep, this is a soulful meditation on vulnerability, protection, personal evolution, and the layered realities we travel through each night. Whether you’re a lucid dreamer, spiritual seeker, or just sleep-deprived, this conversation invites you to reclaim your nights with intention, healing, and heart.
