Can you dream of past lives?
If your dream is set in a time before you were born, does it give you insight into a past life? Sometimes people dream of being themselves, as they appear today, only in historic dress to suit the period, and sometimes people dream they look quite different, or are of the opposite sex, clearly at one with the time period and not realising it is a past era until they wake up. How should
Dream interpretation: End of the world
Many people dream of the end of the world and get really scared, assuming they’ve previewed a coming reality, but, of course, dreams are symbolic. Here’s a short one posted to the one-day dream forum last month, followed by my interpretation. “I’ve been having constant dreams about aliens arriving, and/or aliens influencing our lives. I see end of world, panic, spaceships. But when I wake up, it somehow gives me a sense of beginning.” My
The right question
Are you looking to your dreams for answers to important questions? Do you go to bed hoping for a dream that will explain all and show you the best way forward? Are you looking for solutions to personal issues, guidance on career, or a bankable genius eureka to boost your fortune? The dreaming mind offers all these possibilities, IF you’re looking at your dream from the right angle. And what is the right angle? It
Dream interpretation: Black ants
Pete dreamed of hundreds of black ants streaming out from a hole in his foot. What do you think it means? He posted his dream to last week’s one day dream forum, run by Brisbane Times. I thought you’d enjoy this one: Pete’s dream: I was sitting on a log and then out of the blue, my foot was bitten. I didn’t know by what at first but eventually realised that it was a black
Hot coffee, warm heart?
Can you distinguish a dream from reality? Test yourself on this one: John is reading resumes, deciding which candidate to employ for a position. He takes one resume, a sheath of pages attached to a heavy clipboard. “Serious,” he concludes. He takes a second resume, the same number of pages but this time attached to a light clipboard. He dismisses the second candidate as being too light. Dream or reality? Dreams are generally metaphors, so
Time to dream?
Are you too busy to explore your dreams? In a leading article on dreams in today’s Brisbane Times, Katherine Feeney writes about “the importance of dreaming in a culture Anderson said was already over-worked, over-tired and disconnected from ‘potential of their dreams’.” Katherine interviewed me last week, and reports all in today’s article. “[Anderson said] ‘But that’s the current crisis at the moment – not that we don’t have enough time [to dream] but that
Gentle disguise: dreams of the departed
My grandfather died when I was thirteen. I didn’t really know him very well, and most memories I have of him are second hand, borrowed from stories told by others, a person and a life fabricated from tall tales, hearsay, and conjecture. He was well into his 60s when I, his first grandchild, was born. When he died, they found his heart pills tucked one-by-one under the mattress of his sick bed. He must have
Recording dreams in middle of the night
Here’s an easy way to record your dreams in the middle of the night, in the dark. Barbara, who hosted a dream group with me by Skype last week, shared this tip during the session when we were talking about how much more insight you can get into the meaning of a dream when you tell it aloud. We tend to use different words when we talk about a dream compared to when we write
Success is flowing: update from Renee, episode 67
Renee, my podcast guest in episode 67, asked me to share her news since having her dream interpreted on the show: “I want to give you an update on how things have been since you interpreted two of my dreams. I recently published a book called Perfect Feedback (Receiving the Answers From Within)! Yay! After you interpreted my Reggie Bush (episode 67) and my Royal Blue dreams (private reading) I started to look inside more. There
Sunrise clip: sexsomnia & sleepwalking
Sunrise invited me onto the breakfast show this morning to talk about sexsomnia and other forms of sleepwalking. Here’s the clip from the show: (2019: Video clip link no longer live.) What is sexsomnia? Channel 7 are screening a documentary tonight, Sleep Walkers: Secrets of the Night, focussing on sleepwalking in its many forms, including sexsomnia, a distressing condition where a person, usually male, tries to have sex with his partner while he (the sleepwalker)
