Ep 142 The Dream Show: Live Dream Interpretation. Nicole dreamed of pythons in her backyard

Nicole is my guest with a dream about pythons writing in her backyard, and if that’s not dramatic enough for a scary dream, how about that sabre tooth tiger that emerges from the bushland? Oh, and did I mention unicorns? People often ask “what does it mean to dream of snakes?” There is no universal […]
Beyond cure and prevention

What drives you to consult a doctor, therapist, or counsellor? Do you book an appointment when you’re sick, suffering, stressed, blocked, or faced with a conflict or problem you can’t solve? Do you book seeking a cure for your ills, physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual? Do you also consult when you are feeling well, seeking […]
Ep 141 The Dream Show: Live Dream Interpretation. Susan dreamed about a psychic and chancellor Angela Merkel

My guest, Susan, brings her richly entertaining dream to the show for interpretation and insight. The action all takes place on campus at an ivy-covered science building, where a psychic is on stage, sharing knowing glances with Susan. There’s breaking news, drums beating out a protest, and pandemonium when Susan is accused of being an […]
What does dreaming of losing teeth mean?

“My recurring dream is gross. I lose all my teeth,” said Chloe, calling into the dream segment on the PowerPack Breakfast show. “How common is this type of dream, and what does it mean?” I’ve been doing this segment long enough now for the show’s presenters, Steve and Abbey, to kick off with good questions. […]
Ep 140 The Dream Show: Live Dream Interpretation. Julie dreamed of a lime green carpet

Julie is my guest having her dream interpreted in this episode of The Dream Show. She dreamed her sister-in-law visited her and laid some new carpet using a new gas vacuuming process. “Hmm, everything changes,” thought Julie in the dream, and she quite liked the result at first – crimson, turquoise, deep blue – but […]
Does my dream mean bad luck?

“I dreamed I was jousting on horseback, and my opponent stabbed me in the chest with his lance,” said Mike, who called the PowerPack Breakfast show last week to ask me about his dream. “I fell out of bed with the impact,” he laughed. “What does it mean? Am I going to have bad luck? […]
Ep 139 The Dream Show: Practical dream interpretation tips

Where to begin when learning the art of dream interpretation? Is there a formula that can be applied to all dreams? One of the challenges I face in my public work – writing books, writing blogs, creating podcasts, doing radio, giving workshops – is how to make this complex subject easier to understand. I like […]
Dream Alchemy in Phnom Penh

I was in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, last month, giving a workshop on Dream Therapy to creative arts therapists, which attracted Phoenix Jay of Phnom Penh’s The Advisor to interview me for their cover story. It’s a broad ranging yet deep interview, which includes a discussion of trauma, Jung, Freud, and an interpretation of Phoenix’s recurring […]
Ep 138 The Dream Show: The facts of life as seen by your dreams

What a fluid world we live in, a world where yesterday’s fiction frequently becomes today’s fact (think sci-fi and technology), and yesterday’s fact can easily crumble into fiction (think scientific research disproving previous findings). What a job our dreaming minds have, every night, processing our waking life experiences, sorting the facts from the fiction, the […]
The power of taste

Maybe I should open a patisserie. I had tasted the most delicious concoction of a cake in a dream. Architecturally it was a stand-out, a creamy white abstract puff atop a stack of four dried figs. I passed the cake around for everyone to taste. On closer examination, I noticed the figs weren’t figs after […]
