INTRODUCTION:
There is almost always a point in the process of illness where logic, reason, and medical expertise fails.
It’s at this point a patient slips through the cracks, sometimes never to recover.
Kat survived breast cancer—twice…Kat survived by using something many in the medical field do not
even acknowledge as being real. Her innate intuition and prophetic dreams. Learn to listen to them.
They may save your life one day.
Kat used her intuition and dreams to self-advocate a course of cancer treatment, often against the
vehement advice of my doctors, in her healing process. She always worked with her doctors, but never
forgot to self-advocate and make the final decisions. She hopes her story can help others make better
decisions in life. She uses all 6 of her senses to keep herself healthy to this day.
TALKING POINTS/ QUESTIONS:
1.)Q.) What do you believe is one of our biggest challenges in health and wellness today and how does
it tie into your story of prophetic guided dreams?
2
Kathleen (Kat) O’Keefe-Kanavos: Access Your Inner Guide!
A.)I believe our biggest challenges in health and wellness today is believing in what we cannot see, feel,
or hear—our inner-guidance—that voice that kept us out of trouble as a child and may save our life as
an adult. When this guidance is at odds with physicians and the medical test on which they rely, we
should request, and if necessary demand, additional tests. We are responsible for life and must self
advocate. My guided dreams saved my life twice.
Q.) 2.)Did you work with your doctors to find and cure your cancer or did you only use dreams and
alternative medicine?
A.) I always worked with my doctors but never forgot that I must make the final decisions with which I
could live. I believe in mixing modern treatment with spiritual healing for a medicine that is bigger than
the sum of its individual parts. Prophetic/Guided Dreams, which were validated by additional
conventional tests and surgery, were a big part of this mixture.
3.)Q.)What if a listener can’t remember their dreams. How are dreams different and what steps can they
take to help them remember?
A.)My website, AccessYour Inner Guide.com has a Free Guidebook/Workbook -7 Steps to Activate Your
Inner Guide that will walk you step-by-step through remembering your dreams and how to train yourself
to remember not to forget. That comes with time and effort. You can also all into my live radio show on
Blog Talk Radio on Wednesdays Your Life Revealed through Tarot and Runes, with your dreams and I will
give an interpretation of your dreams. You must open the paths into your dream world. The Talmud
says, “A dream not remembered is a letter unread.” Our dreams are letters from our Inner Guidance.
That inner guidance could tell you to pull your money out o of shaky investments or the stock market
before it crashes, or give you get a glimpse of your future spouse.
I find that most dreams fall into these 7 categories, and these categories can overlap






Daydreams- when you are awake but no longer focused on a task, meditation, prayer
Lucid dreams- you know you are dreaming and can control the outcome
Nightmares- who can forget that information? But our nightmares can be blessings in disguise
Recurring- because you didn’t get it the first time or solve it yet
Healing-emotional or physical information
Prophetic- comes true and can be validated by scientific tests or life events
Epic- like an entertaining storybook you pick up and continue while sleeping
4.)Q.) Give me an example of how these dreams can overlap.
A.) A client was distraught because she kept having a recurring nightmare that would wake her during
the night and leave her in a bad mood all day. And she was always aware that she was having the
3

nightmare. She would be in an epic dream when suddenly there would be a knock on the door. As her
husband moved to answer the door she would yell, “No! Don’t answer the door.” The door would open
and her deceased father would walk in and say, “I love you.” This would jolt her from the dream and
leave her upset for the rest of the day because she and her father did not have a good relationship while
he was alive.
I told her the next time she had this nightmare, to tell her father that she loved him, too, hug him and
that the nightmare would stop and her life would be changed, forever.
The next night she had the same nightmare. She followed my suggestion and found that she felt
wonderful when she woke up and never had the nightmare again. With a simple hug of love she
changed the ending of a lucid nightmare into a healing dream that transformed her life forever.
Our family members challenge us the most in our life because they are our teachers, and they are
humans who make mistakes. During difficult times they are given permission to return from “the other
side” to give us guidance and love.
5.) Q.) Can you give me an example of a prophetic dream?
A.) This dream is from my book, SURVIVING TRAUMALAND: The Intuitive Aspects of Healing. My
“feather dream.” 1) The White Feather- A spirit guide appeared and handed me a feather and told me to
immediately return to my doctor, without making an appointment, and ask for exploratory surgery. If I
remembered the feather from my dream and used it as a sward to fence with against his arguments, I
would win.
I returned to my doctor the next day, imagined holding the feather in my fingers and convinced him to
do exploratory surgery. A lump was found. Pathology stated it was stage 2 aggressive DCIS ductile
carcinoma in situ. A second surgery was performed to check for clean margins and cancer was found in
my lymph node. The validation was a pathology report.
6.) Q.) Are symbolisms all the same in every dream?
A.) Although World renowned Psychiatrists Dr. Freud and Dr. Jung used Universal Archetypes present in
dreams to see into the minds of their patients to better treat the, dream worlds are unique to the
dreamer. What is frightening to one dreamer may be enlightening to another. Take the example of a
large snake in a dream. It may be frightening to someone with a fear of snakes but it is the Kundalini to
me- the ultimate rising spiritual wisdom. If it is a rattle-snake it may mean there is a warning in the
wosdom, “Don’t tread here,” just like the Texas motto on their Flag that has the rattle snake, “Don’t
tread on me.” Sometimes the symbolism can be a play on words.

Therefore, although dream dictionaries are based on universal archetypes and helpful, they can also be
limiting. As the dreamer becomes more in tune with their inner-guidance, they will learn their own
dream language just as I learned mine. In my book SURVIVING TRAUMALAND: The Intuitive aspects of
Healing, I take dreams from my dream journal and show the reader exactly how to underline important
word, figure out their meaning according to their lived and in the context of the dream in order to
understand the message in the dream.
7.)Q.) What if someone does not dream?
A.) Everything and everyone dreams, they may not remember that they dreamed. A fetus still in the
mother’s womb has REM (rapid eye movement) from the Delta Dream Realm that can be seen on Ultra
sound. REM is when the eye tracks a dream. It begs the question, is the fetus seeing angels? Over time,
we often forget how to remember our dreams. My free Guidebook can help with this.
But, here are some things we can do to get started.
Here are 6 easy steps to help anyone remember dreams.
I.)Verbally voice your intention to remember your dream before you go to sleep.
II.) Early-morning dreams are the easiest to remember. Keep a notebook beside your bed and when you
awaken, write what you do remember- whatever it is. If you are still having trouble remembering, lie
back down in bed in the same position you were in when you woke up and try to remember anything at
all.
III.) If a dream still allusive, write down your feelings-Happy, Sad, Frightened, Content or Anxious.
IV.) Write down a color that pops into your head while trying to remember the dream.
V.) Give your dream a title, even if it’s The Dream Without a Name. If some part of the dream returns
during the day, jot it down on a piece of paper to add it to your dream journal. Over time, dreams will
become longer as you begin to interface with yourself and your guides. We all have guides. We are their
job. Meeting yours in your dreams is a wonderful step to a more fulfilling life.
VI.) If you are thinking about a deceased family member when you wake up, chances are good that you
did see them. They can give guided information. Sometimes family members are given permission to
return from the other side to guide us during times of crisis or trauma. We don’t just dream about them.
We are interacting with them. They may even appear different to us but they will say or do something to
let us know exactly who they are when we awaken.
8.)Q.) If your psychic dreams were so important and accurate, why didn’t your guides send you to a
holistic doctor rather than a conventional physician?
5
Kathleen (Kat) O’Keefe-Kanavos: Access Your Inner Guide!
A.) My inner guides/physician-within did not tell me to seek a holistic practitioner- they told me to go to
the hospital. If they had, I would have gone. Obviously, they had faith in my doctors and got me to the
right ones. Maybe it was a learning experience for everyone. It certainly taught my doctors a thing or
two such as lhow important it is to listen to their patients.
9.) Q.)Why is this inner guidance important in medicine and life? With the recent changes in health care
including increasing the age for first mammograms and “hospital policies,” our inner guidance is very
important. It can save our life.
A.)Dreams can be messages from the “other side” or just entertainment. We know the difference by
validation.
You know when a dream is prophetic when you can validate it with facts. I often said to my doctors,
“Prove me wrong.” The tests they performed to prove me wrong proved I was right and validated my
dreams.
10.)Q.)Would you share some of your dreams with the listeners and tell how they were validated or
verified by scientific facts.
A.)My dreams saved my life twice and shook the medical field to the core. There were two dreams that
were particularly important.
)I was 40 yrs old and my physical, blood test and mammogram had come back healthy and negative for
cancer but I had a dream that told me I was sick with breast cancer. I could feel a lump but no one else
could.
Three mammograms and four blood tests later I had a dream called:
1) The White FeatherA spirit guide appeared and handed me a feather and told me to immediately return to my doctor,
without making an appointment, and ask for exploratory surgery. If I remembered the feather from my
dream and used it as a sward to fence with against his arguments, I would win.
I returned to my doctor the next day, imagined holding the feather in my fingers and convinced him to
do exploratory surgery. A lump was found. Pathology stated it was stage 2 aggressive DCIS ductile
carcinoma in situ. A second surgery was performed to check for clean margins and cancer was found in
my lymph node.
2.) The Clowns- 5 years later, almost to the day, I had a mammogram read in front of me by a radiologist
at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.. “Congratulations. You’re healthy go home,” he said.
6
Kathleen (Kat) O’Keefe-Kanavos: Access Your Inner Guide!
“No, you’re not,” a voice in my head answered. “Tell him to look at the second mammogram.” So, I did.
The doctor told me that was not the breast that had had cancer and to go home. So, I did. That night I
had the dream: “The Clowns”:
A guide dressed as a nurse held my mammograms in one hand, pointed to them, and motioned to me to
come closer and look. When I did she turned into a giant clown with curly red hair and huge shoes.
I returned to the hospital and began demanding an MRI. It took me 4 months to get the MRI I needed to
prove to the medical field again that I had cancer, and it was stage 4- 9x11 cm lobular. The Tamoxifen
had stopped working, which it can do after 2 years. I took the chemo CMF, had radiation and a double
mastectomy.
It has been 12 years since my first cancer and 7 since my second.
I had many dreams during my crisis that received validation. That is why it is so important to remember
and write your dreams down in a dream journal beside your bed.
11.) Q) I see that you are a speaker at events throughout the country. What is your next event?
A.) I will be at the incredible Wake Up Women: Be Happy, Healthy & Wealthy Event on June 28th at the
Renaissance Los Angeles Airport Hotel. It is limited seating but Tickets are now available @
www.wakeupwomen.com and you can go to the EVENTS section of my website to find out more.
