Ep 113 The Dream Show: When dreams haunt you for days

Is it a good thing or a bad thing to replay a dream over and over again in your mind’s eye? While many dreams slip away as soon as we open our eyes, some haunt us for days, whether we invite them in or whether we’d prefer to forget them. Why is this, and is […]

Dreams, even when they’re scary, can be very playful. Some are laugh out loud funny, like Brig’s dream of taking her dog for a walk only instead of her dog what was on the end of the leash was a bit of lamb’s fry (offal). Deep and meaningful though the dream was, you’ve just got […]
