“I hear there’s a giant iceberg heading your way,” said Phyllis, sitting comfortably in Texas, chatting over skype. “Iceberg?” I queried, baffled. Phyllis is my guest on this Friday’s podcast, and we were warming up to record the show while Michael was setting the recording levels. Also warming up, I now know, is a 19 […]
Looking for insight? Read your waking life! Just as you can interpret a dream, you can interpret your waking life. After all, it’s YOUR waking life: you’re the one creating it and responding to it, so it is a unique reflection of everything you are. Your waking life is a perfect manifestation of your conscious […]
Today I was honoured to receive the first ‘dream catcher wristlet’, a signature piece, designed by Wendy Dugan of Sanctus Stones, to enhance dream recall. One of the stones featured in the piece is prehnite, a pale green crystal with darker green streaks suspended below the surface, like seaweed. Nested amongst seed pearls, amethysts and […]
This morning, I sat in the bow end of a small speedboat, my back to the direction of travel, as we idled along a broad river. A perfect cooling breeze, a heavenly way to start the day. An elderly man sat on the riverbank, singing the boat into motion. This was a dream, of course. […]

(What on […]
Sipping a a double shot espresso with Michael at Albertos this morning, I noticed our waiter’s Movember moustache. “Can’t wait to shave it off,” he confided. “Children look at me like I’m the scary kind of man their Mums have warned them about.” Never heard of Movember? The Movember Movement began in Australia and is […]
“My song has been nominated for an ISSA (Independent Singer Songwriter Association) award, open to public vote!” ran the excited email I received over the weekend from Phyllis A Travis, a Texas-based attorney and insurance adjustor, who has been applying dream alchemy to overcome her fear of going public in several areas of her life.

I hesitated to share this story because it sounds implausible, but it did happen, on Friday to be precise, and the scientist-in-me has been trying to explain it away. So I entice you to don the hat of your choice – dreamer, scientist, detective, alchemist, sceptic, mystic, reader – and explore this mystery: Three weeks […]
I’ve just had coffee with a beautiful soul who is creating something quite exquisite to celebrate dreams. You’ll hear about it here first, when it’s ready to unveil. “What is that pendant you always wear?
