Things that go bump in the night

Ever woken to eerie sounds in the night, or a feeling of your skin being touched when you’re sleeping alone, or been scared out of your wits when you’ve opened your eyes to see ghosts or strange things going on in your bedroom? As utterly convincing and frightening as these sensations are, it’s important to […]
Ep 122 The Dream Show: Interpreting and misinterpreting waking life

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What you see is what you get, depending on how you see it. As your eye changes – as your experiences change – so does what you get. Have you noticed how a favourite story from childhood is different when you reread it as an adult? Or […]
The open door

Twenty-one years ago, I dreamed I was trying to get into a building by pushing through one of its solid brick walls. It was hard work that got me nowhere at all. All it did was exhaust me. I stood back, walked around the house, and discovered an open door. I realised that the door […]
Blinded by the light

It’s that time of the year here in Australia. It’s midwinter*(see footnote!), the air is clear and dry and the sunlight is blinding. There’s no summer humidity to water down the glare, and the widening hole in the ozone layer down this end doesn’t help. I need a new pair of sunglasses. Which would you […]
Fast fix

An original signed sketch by Sir Sidney Nolan, one of Australia’s best known painters, recently sold on eBay for $113.61. It would probably have sold for thousands if it hadn’t been pan fried.

My guest, Gay, is keen to hear my take on a dream she had six months ago, a dream that profoundly changed her life. Gay dreamed of moseying along a walkway from a dark museum castle into a room filled with a blinding light where she embraced her estranged granddaughter. There are many deep and […]
Extreme dreams

Here’s a great tip for when you’re feeling stuck and need some guidance to move forward. Most dreams, when you look at them closely, have at least one pair of opposites. For example, your dream might involve slow and fast, or high and low, or noisy and quiet, or long way round and short way […]

Ep 120 The Dream Show: Live Dream Interpretation. Gwynne dreams she’s always the passenger, never the driver

Gwynne is my guest with a dream about finding a camera with a shocking picture on the viewfinder. There’s a theme of lost and found, and another of being driven around – always the passenger, never the driver – and sitting so far back in the vehicle that she even falls out of the car. […]
And it bloomed …

I know that as you contemplate Marylou Falstreau’s print, a garden of your own calls to you. Not a physical garden, but something that you’d love to create, become, or do, something that’s completely of your own. Artist Marylou Falstreau was inspired by a dream to create her Woman and the Hourglass series of prints […]
