Nipple worms & radio experts
“I dreamed that a two inch worm wriggled out of my nipple,” said Kerry, who called a radio breakfast show where I was interpreting dreams. Parasites seemed to be the order of the day, as I had just helped Brig, one of the presenters, understand her dream of picking lice from a sports star’s hair. Lice and worms, nice subject over breakfast. Dream interpretation on breakfast radio has to be quick, punchy, entertaining and light hearted,

Future blessings
What would you like to change about your life? What seems to be stopping you from achieving this? I’ve just opened my book, The Compass, at random, to find a reading for today’s blog. It opened at 130: See Beyond. Here it is: SEE BEYOND WHY? The future blesses you with hindsight. CLARITY What is upsetting or distressing you? What is the obstacle you see in front of you? Can you see a way through,

Navigating changing times
“Global tidal wave of 70,000 job cuts,” announced the online news. “The tsunami of layoffs started in Europe …” Instantly I got the picture. It’s a metaphor that works. It describes a giant ripple effect of job loss caused by a seismic tremor in the global economy. It also describes the emotional impact felt or feared by many. Whether you’ve lost your job, know someone who has, fear losing yours, or fear the consequences of

Ep 74 update, Abigail: An unbelievable miracle

Having a dream interpreted and taking action by doing the prescribed dream alchemy practice creates life changing results. First up are immediate results – Abigail had felt a major depression lift shortly after appearing on The Dream Show to have her dream interpreted

How much does worry weigh?
“Never worry worry, til worry worries you,” my granny used to say. There’s a grain of truth in there, and an even better tongue twister, but the day I really got the measure of worry started as a simple coffee morning with two friends when we were all young mothers. The three of us met once a week so our preschool children could play together while we caught up over a coffee. That morning I

Good sleep food & home-made muesli
Do you have a late night snack before going to sleep? Is it affecting your sleep and dreams? I have a couple of spoons of muesli – yes, I know it’s a breakfast food – in a glass of milk mixed with natural yoghurt every night before bed. If I’m really hungry, it’s three spoons. And I’ve just discovered that it’s the best food for great sleep and dream recall. Here’s why: My breakfasty nightcap

The science of dream interpretation
“You’re an interesting contradiction, a scientist who interprets dreams,” said Ian Kath, host of the podcast chat show Your Story – How others play the game of life. “I’d love to interview you and throw you some curly questions.” Of course I agreed, and Ian released our interview this week as episode 59, Jane Teresa. Science and Dream Interpretation. Ian set the scene: “She comes to dream interpretation, not from the esoteric fields of connecting with

Dream alchemy art
Not everyone is a gifted artist, but a surprising number of my clients are either professional artists (painters, writers, musicians) or discover artistic skills during the course of their work with me. Many times I’ve experienced the joy of being shown a piece of dream alchemy artwork (over a skype cam during a consultation or emailed to me as an image), or seeing my clients’ works appear in print or in blog form in the

Dream interpretation: Theme alchemy
No, it’s not a drunken, lisped take on ‘dream alchemy’. It’s a way of reading across your dreams, instead of considering each dream individually. It helps you to find light when you need it most. Here’s an example from my life. It’s the story of three waves. Once upon a time, I had three dreams about tsunamis. Each dream was on a different night, spaced over one week, and each dream was different from the

Rose alchemy – update from Ann, ep 82
“Our relationship has blossomed into something better than it was before,” says Ann, sharing her progress since having her dream interpreted in episode 82 of The Dream Show three months ago. Ann had dreamed of birds trapped in her home after getting in through broken blinds, unable to find their way out again. When we looked deeply at the dream, Ann saw that the birds represented her feelings of vulnerability over a family issue and
