Ep 98 The Dream Show: Science & dream interpretation

Episode 98 The Dream Show Jane Teresa Anderson

In my early days as a dream expert on ABC radio, I received a letter from a woman who said, “I heard a dream interpreter was coming on, and decided to switch to another station as soon as I finished ironing a shirt, but half an hour and several shirts later, I was still listening. You made so much sense.”

‘You make sense’ is one of recurring comments I’ve heard over the almost 20 years that I’ve been interpreting dreams in the media (where I have only a few minutes per dream, if even that, to make sense), and in private consultation (where, thankfully, we have more time to go deeper and find even more sense).

Does being a scientist by training help or hinder when it comes to dream interpretation? I have used my scientific training to take science as far into the world of dream interpretation as I can, and then travelled deeper still. Why stop exploring this field just because a certain set of tools – the tools of science – only take you so far? Do I even see myself as a scientist these days? What other tools or approaches do I use?

Those who have not personally experienced my methods are often curious. As Ian Kath, who recently interviewed me for his podcast series, Your Story, said, “You’re an interesting contradiction, a scientist who interprets dreams. I’d love to interview you and throw you some curly questions.”

He did, and we bring you that interview, ‘Jane Teresa. Science and Dream Interpretation’, in today’s show, with Ian’s kind permission. Enjoy.
