Bring it on!

When a dream shows you a wonderful, uplifting, positive symbol, you can use it to spin a little dream alchemy to accelerate the manifestation of excellent outcomes into your life.

There are many tips throughout this blog describing how to transform a negative aspect of a dream into a positive one by visualising the change over and over again. For example, if you dreamed of a little bird, trapped and unable to fly high, and related your dream to feeling trapped in your career, you can visualise the little bird freed from its trap, flying free and high. What this visualisation does is communicate with your unconscious mind, using its own symbolic language, to change those unconscious beliefs that have been stopping you from flying high in your career.

Now, imagine something happens at work to give you a glimpse of what it would be like to fly high in your career, to feel free instead of trapped.

But remember, what dreams do is process your experiences of the last 24-48 hours to update your view of the world and your place in it. In this way, they are the blueprint of your future, as the future is most likely to turn out according to your beliefs and experiences.

Now, imagine something happens at work to give you a glimpse of what it would be like to fly high in your career, to feel free instead of trapped. Your dream might process this experience resulting in a dream of a resplendent bird flying high, up and far away from where it had been trapped. Such a dream would suggest your beliefs are changing, that you are beginning to see that there is nothing holding you back from flying high.

Your dream might show a bird flying high to reflect this feeling.

That being so, how long are you going to wait for this belief to fully form? This is where the dream alchemy practice comes in. By simply visualising this positive part of the dream – the resplendent bird flying high, up and far away from where it had been trapped – and making sure you add uplifting feelings of joy, freedom, and ease to the visualisation, you can consolidate your new belief and accelerate its manifestation in your life.

What will you manifest in this example? A sudden insight that the trap was all of your own making, an opportunity to fly high and, possibly, some synchronicities in the shape of resplendent birds and high flying symbols peppering your days awesomely.

Mama Mia! Flying & falling dreams

Posted on April 20, 2011 by Jane Teresa Anderson • 0 Comments

“Married at 22 to a jackass, I spent 10 years with a cheater, and 10 years dreaming that I was falling. I never hit the ground, and I knew I was dreaming, but there it was: falling. And, it was scary.

After that divorce, I found a gem of a husband who looks after me and treasures our love. Guess what? Now, the dreams are of flying. I am flying, and I’m good at it, and I know it’s a dream and I don’t care because it’s fun.”

Laurie posted this on mamamia.com last week when I was guest blogger talking about recurring dreams. There were over 100 posts as Mia’s readers shared their dreams, and I spent some time replying, interpreting, giving tips. (Read them here.)

There were over 100 posts as Mia’s readers shared their dreams.

I replied to Laurie:

“Isn’t it enlightening when you spot the metaphor in the dream? Often we can only do this in retrospect, as we are so often blind – in denial – to our situation at the time.

Dreams reflect the unconscious, and it seems you had an unconscious belief in falling (in not flying), low self esteem perhaps (and falling ever lower), until something happened to reverse that thinking, and you transformed that negative unconscious belief. You saw the possibility of flying, of having higher self esteem, of reaching a higher potential.

You wouldn’t have stayed in that 10 year marriage unless it matched your unconscious feelings of falling.

Good work, and congratulations!

Here’s something interesting: If I had heard about your falling dream way back then, as well as exploring your dream to understand it, I would have given you a visualisation. I would have asked you to visualise yourself back in your dream, only this time to fly out of the fall, to grow wings and fly up and up and out of the dream, and to summon up a wonderful feeling of high self esteem and limitless possibilities as you did this. It’s what I call a Dream Alchemy practice. It’s a way of working with your dream symbols (e.g. falling) to change them; a way of reprogramming your unconscious beliefs from negative to positive by speaking the language of your unconscious (which we know, from your dream).

What would have happened if you’d done this? You’d have automatically seen the light and broken free earlier. But hey, here you are today, and life is wonderful. Enjoy your wings.”

What do dreams of flying into power lines, feeling the ground shake, going round and round in circles, and meeting an old man close to death have in common?

They’re all in today’s show, they’re all metaphors for waking life situations, and I use these – and other dreams – to show you how to design your own dream alchemy practices. The steps – and the show – are simple and light-hearted, yet they’re very powerful.

In fact, the whole show is about the power of metaphors, in dreams and in waking life, to heal and transform.

There’s some science too, some recent research showing how the brain processes metaphors which will make you smile as you think, ‘yes, that’s why dream alchemy works’.

A new podcast every Friday. Listen here or subscribe on iTunes.

Episode 63 of our free weekly podcast, THE DREAM SHOW, is now up.

Spot the theme: Lady Gaga has a recurring dream about being asked to cut her wrist, a dream she worries is connected with the Illuminati, while Kate, our guest from episode 57, had dreamed of chopping off her leg so she could look inside.

Today I interpret Lady Gaga’s dream, and report on Kate’s progress since her appearance on the show. Kate’s been doing her dream alchemy, and has some great results to share.

Also on today’s show, Kay, a listener, asked a question about her flying dream, so we explore flying and floating dreams and give tips on how to discover what your unique flying dream means.

Now, Lady Gaga was tied up in her dream, quite the opposite situation to Kay’s flying and floating in space – but there is a connection! Listen in to be … illuminated … LOL!

You can listen here (Episode 63) or subscribe to the whole series – a new free episode every week – at iTunes.

Reveal your saboteur

Posted on March 16, 2010 by Jane Teresa Anderson • 2 Comments

Tom and Kim both dreamed they were running late for their plane.

Imagine that both Tom and Kim had the same dream. Each dreamed he was on his way to the airport to fly to another city for a work meeting when he realised he had left his ticket at home. He wondered whether he had time to go back home and get his ticket, or whether he would miss the plane. The dream ended there. What does it mean?

The in-depth interpretation depends on how Tom and Kim each felt in their dream, and this applies to most dream interpretations.

Tom felt excited by the challenge.

Tom felt panicked by the delay, and then excited by the challenge. The adrenalin rush of racing back home to get the ticket in time to catch the plane would put him on a high that would energise him right through the meeting, and impress his work colleagues with his ‘can do’, risk-taking, adventurous approach.

Kim felt relieved and took the afternoon off.

Kim felt immediately relieved. He was off the hook with a perfect excuse. Forgetting his ticket meant he didn’t have to face his colleagues. He fleetingly wondered whether he had forgotten his ticket accidentally-on-purpose, but dismissed the thought as soon as he realised he could now spend the afternoon relaxing and playing golf.

Tom and Kim’s dreams were about why they have been experiencing delays in achieving their goals. Both dreams reveal a saboteur element: both Tom and Kim are creating the very delays that daily despair them. “Why,” they each moan, “does life keep blocking me?”

As you can see by examining their dream feelings, Tom loves the thrill of an obstacle course and believes the challenge of the added difficulties gives him a performance edge and wins him praise.

He unconsciously creates delays to experience a high because he believes he needs the rush to perform, and craves praise for achieving against the odds.

Kim creates delays to safeguard himself from pressure.

Kim, on the other hand, fears achieving his goals or facing up to his abilities, whether or not he’s equal to the task.

He unconsciously creates delays to safeguard him from this pressure, though he won’t admit this to anyone – including himself – in daily life. Sometimes he catches a glimpse of his modus operandi, but then swings denial into place deftly with his golf clubs.

Here’s the tip. When you write out a dream, add your feelings. Make sure you don’t write about how you would feel if this happened to you in waking life. Write the feelings you felt while you were in the dream. Then highlight the feeling words, and link them together in the same order to form a flow.

For example, Tom’s would read: panicked -> excited -> high -> energised -> impressive -> risky -> adventurous.

Kim’s would read: relieved-> excused-> dismissive->relaxed.

Do this for your dreams, and ask where this pattern is playing out in your life. You will see your life in quite a different light. Once you are aware of this pattern, you have the power to change it.

Radio ABC Victoria: Joy flight

Posted on January 19, 2010 by Jane Teresa Anderson • 0 Comments

A dream joy flight

“I dream of flying a single propeller plane,” said David, who called me this afternoon on Kathy Bedford’s Statewide Drive show on Radio ABC Victoria. “I take off and although I don’t know how to drive it, I land it safely.”

David feels ecstatic in his recurring dream.

I’m sure David said ‘drive’ not ‘fly’, and if my ears served me well, this is a clue to interpretation, as you will see.

David summarised his dream in a few short sentences, yet he took time to detail the type of plane: a single propeller plane. He was also the single pilot.

The dream plane is a one man plane, and suggests David is beginning to gain confidence in ‘flying solo’ in some area of his life. He may run his own business, or be considering it. He may be newly single, or he may be branching out on his own in some other way.

The beauty of David’s dream is that he doesn’t let not knowing how to ‘drive’ the plane hold him back. And even though he doesn’t know how to drive it, it turns out that he can not only pilot it but enjoy the process and land it safely too. What a buzz!

Because this is a recurring dream, David is probably still exploring his confidence to ‘take off’ and follow his intuition, and the dream probably comes up when he surprises himself with his progress. David could relate to this.

Your unconscious mind expresses itself in your dreams, and when you describe a dream your unconscious mind sometimes gets a look in too. David’s unconscious mind told me that his dream was also about ‘drive’ or motivation.

He may be finding it difficult to drive or motivate himself some days, but his dream shows that taking the first step is all it takes – the rest just happens naturally.

Or he feels he doesn’t know enough about driving his business – marketing, financing, getting customers – and again the dream shows that there is a part of David that intuitively knows what to do.

This is an uplifting dream with a positive, grounded result. To reinforce his confidence in ‘flying solo’ David could do a visualisation while he’s awake (a dream alchemy practice), in which he relives his dream and the sensations of confidence, joy and success. The more he repeats this, the more he will find, in his waking life, that he somehow just automatically knows what to do.
