Episode 72 of our free weekly podcast, THE DREAM SHOW, is now up.

My guest today, Dail, shares her experience of running one of her dreams through our DIY free interpretation program. (Note, April 2013: After 13 years of use we’ve now retired this program.)

You pop your dream in one end, answer some short, simple questions, and emerge at the other end of the process with a clearer idea of what your dream means and how it relates to your life.

Dail’s dream involved enticing a lover for the powerful hit of being in control, but what – or who – is causing all those ripples behind that Arabian tapestry hanging on the wall? Throughout Dail’s dream is a theme she often meets in her dreams, being lost in a big city.

She thought running a fun dream with a mix of bizarre symbols and a recurring theme would give the DSDD a good workout, and she was right. Join us as Dail runs her dream through the process, and witness her results.

In this episode I also share listener Rob’s experience of creating alchemy from a tiny dream fragment with successful results. If they can do it – you can do it. Just begin.

You can listen here (Episode 72) or subscribe to the whole series – a new free episode every week – at iTunes.

Back seat driver

He was driving the bus from a back seat

Some dreams are just meant to be shared, and here’s one with a universal message. One of my regular clients brought this dream to me for interpretation and alchemy, and kindly offered it to share with you all on this blog.

He dreamed he was a passenger on a gigantic bus, sitting near the back with his feet perched on a heavy metal bar. Suddenly he realised he wasn’t a passenger at all, he was the driver, driving the bus by pushing down on the bar with his feet. The mechanism was cumbersome, and he had to put a lot of pressure on the bar to keep the bus moving. He was too far back from the windscreen to see where he was heading, but he felt comfortably in control of the huge vehicle and knew he was driving safely. But to where?

Here’s the bottom line:

A dream with a universal message

The bar in the dream represented an obstacle (bar) in his life, and that obstacle had become the driving force of his life. He had lost touch with his vision, his plan for where he was heading (he was too far from the windscreen in the dream). Instead of making decisions based on his vision, he was making decisions based on the obstacle. By paying attention to the obstacle, applying pressure, keeping it under control, he ensured his safety and was able to keep things trundling along in a comfortable, if cumbersome, way.

But to where? We agreed he needed to get back in touch with his vision, otherwise he’d end up wherever ‘staying safe and in control’ was taking him.

Of course, we dug a little deeper. Everything in a dream represents something about the dreamer, so that bar represented a belief manifesting as an obstacle, and we did the work to explore and transform that belief. See? The way to deal effectively with what seems like an obstacle in life is to understand it, get new perspective on it, and transform it into a more helpful belief.

Are you being driven by what you see as the obstacles in your life, or are you driven by a vision of where you want to be?
