It was the middle of the night, both in reality, because I was asleep, and in my dream, because it was dark and no-one was up. No-one apart from me and the young boy I was teaching to fly. I had been walking down the staircase like a normal human being, when I started to […]
I can mark out my life in dreams, as if turning the pages of a photo album. Most key events and turning points were preceded or accompanied by vivid dreams, and I know the same will be true of the years ahead. It’s not that my dreams predicted my future. Like all dreams, they connected […]
It’s a cherished belief of several popular approaches to dream interpretation that only the dreamer knows the meaning of their dream, and that input from others should never involve telling the dreamer what their dream means.

When you gain clarity, work with Perspex.” The previous day, I had been puzzling over the way to approach the next step […]
Carmen is my guest this episode, as we explore and interpret her dream of being back at university as a student, which is all well and good until she remembers that she’s already completed her study, and she now works here in waking life. Have you had a variation of this dream, finding yourself back […]
“It’s only a very short dream, but it was so vivid, it stayed with me all day, should we interpret that one or will we get more out of a longer dream?” This is a question I’m often asked by clients, students, or podcast guests, and I’m sure, when you think about your own dreams, […]
