You may have released all the grief, or there may be more to come. Either way, when you wake up crying, it is good and healing. […]
It was one of those moments when an unusual symbol from my dream popped up in waking life the next day. What does it mean when this happens? On Wednesday night I dreamed I untangled and unplugged a heap of electrical wiring to get to my very ordinary looking Acer laptop. As I smoothed the […]
Our August show features Emily, from Northern California, with a dream about moving into a new but dusty house.

They’d all have different views. Where would they agree, where would they disagree? In this episode, I meet these dream pioneers and ask them […]
Picture the Moulin Rouge dancers, arms linked, high-kicking the Can-can – daaa, da-da-da-da-daa-daa. Can you hear the music? Does it make you feel like getting up from your chair and kicking up your heels? The tune’s been on my mind all day since Belinda, a long time devotee of dream alchemy, posted a blog yesterday […]
