You wake from a hauntingly beautiful dream of time spent with an ex-lover, and the sheer delight sends you scurrying to make contact, or, at least, to tell yourself that somewhere, out there beyond the trappings of the body and material world, the two of you reconnected, forgave, or shared new understanding. It’s so deliciously […]
As we approach the tenth anniversary of The Dream Show, we look back at how it all began before sweeping into a theme of how past, present, and future intertwine in our dreams and in waking life. You’ll meet a shaman and a boy-beast from my dreams, and discover how I worked out what they […]
“You should do a podcast show about dreams,” said Belinda, a self-confessed geek friend, ten years ago. I groaned. Podcasting was only vaguely on the periphery of my awareness, and the thought of getting my head around yet another kind of technology for my business felt overwhelming. I was already doing quite advanced html work […]
“What is my dream trying to tell me? How can I discover the message behind my dream?” I hear these two questions a lot. They’re similar, but subtly different. The first implies a belief that a dream sets out with a message that it needs you to hear, or that the purpose of a dream […]
We begin around 2,500 years ago, looking at how the Ancient Greeks worked with their dreams to diagnose physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual issues, and to effect cures through processes evocative of our present-day dream therapy and dream alchemy practices. We then take a side road to explore the symbolism of snakes before drawing up […]
I met two strangers at a party a year or so before I began my work in dreams, almost 30 years ago now. I say strangers, because when I asked around afterwards, nobody else remembered seeing them. Both men, and both a lot taller than me (I am quite tall), they seemed to act in […]
“When I listen to your podcasts, you seem to interpret dreams so intuitively and accurately. How can I develop my intuition to understand dreams?” This comment, from an avid listener, took me by surprise at first, as I had believed The Dream Show podcasts helped demonstrate the tools and techniques people can use to interpret […]
Juliana from Atlanta, Georgia, is my guest this episode with a dream about a dreadful secret she does not want to hear. In this very powerful episode, you’ll hear Juliana experience a deeply healing shift of perspective that opens the way for her to move forward. The dream features her grandmother, the Grim Reaper, a […]
I’d love to inspire you to create an alchemy bowl, a vessel to collect totems from your dreams and act as a sacred alchemical kiln. It’s a variation of ancient divinatory practices, healing rituals, and wisdom oracles, given a dream alchemy twist. It’s a way of consolidating and connecting the insights you draw from your […]
Fiona from Melbourne, Australia, is my guest this episode, with a dream about needing to escape. It all started with a sports event where a swimmer almost got sucked up into a giant purple-violet flower. Fiona organised her rescue, but things escalated from there. Something just didn’t feel right. Was there a body behind a […]
