I’ve programmed myself to notice when cell phones appear in my dreams and then to try to dial Michael, my husband, by tapping the numbers on the dial pad. In dreams this can be really difficult to do. The dial pad morphs, the numbers get jumbled, or extra hashes or asterisk combinations are required. This […]
Last Tuesday started out with a routine trip to the dentist for a check up, so I was rather shocked to exit the surgery minus two teeth, a wisdom tooth and the one next to it. “Bone loss,” the dentist had explained, “better to take them out.” Later in the week I was telling my […]
It’s a conversation stopper, momentarily. “I’m a dream analyst,” I say, when asked what I do, and I see eyes widen, minds ticking over. “Did she say dream analyst? Or was it team analyst, some kind of HR job or competitive sports role? Or cream analyst, maybe she works for a dairy company.” Or, as […]
Are there days, weeks, months, when you wonder how you can possibly fit everything you need to do into so little available time? There are solutions, but you can never see them when you’re too busy running from one task to the next. Your dreams may help you to discover those solutions, but taking the […]
To reframe or not to reframe, that is the question. How does reframing a situation help you deal with a sea of trouble? Are there times when it’s more important to delve into that sea with eyes wide open, to feel it, to know it, to resolve and heal it, rather than to pretty it […]

Earlier this month I dreamed I was standing on a hilltop, looking down at a stunningly beautiful peninsula, all golden and glowing. Furthest away, at the tip, was the […]
As above, so below. As within, so without. What do these ancient sayings mean to you? Legend has it that Hermes Trismegistus inscribed these words, in Phoenician, on The Emerald Tablet, somewhere between 1,200 and 38,000 years ago. Yes, you did read those dates correctly. No, no-one knows where the tablet is now, or whether […]
“We welcome dream reader, Jane Teresa, onto the breakfast show,” a radio presenter announced earlier this morning, and I had to smile to myself: there it was again, call it synchronicity, a prod from the universe, or meaningful coincidence, those two words, dream reader, gave me the thumbs up for the blog idea I had […]
