The goat and the cobweb
Here’s a puzzle. What’s the connection between a cobweb and a goat? If you’re already searching for an answer, you’re in the right frame of mind for interpreting a dream. I’ll give you some more clues: Sandra phoned Loretta & Moyd’s Afternoon Show on Radio 4BC this afternoon to ask me about her dream featuring – you’ve got it – a cobweb and a goat. In her dream, she was going somewhere with her husband

Pregnancy dreams: Jellybeans and leeches
It all started when Sunrise weather presenter Grant Denyer told the SAFM Breakfast crew – Hayley, Craig and Rabbit – that his pregnant wife dreamed she gave birth to a monkey. Then Hayley, who had just announced her pregnancy on the show, shared that she had dreamed she gave birth to leeches. Was this just spooky, the crew wondered, or is it common for pregnant women to dream of giving birth to animals? I (who

It can’t be that hard
The alchemists of old spent years working out how to transform base metal into pure gold. I, of the modern dream alchemist variety, spent four weeks working out how to transform a ripped, mouldy lampshade into something beautiful enough to stand in the corner of my friend’s room and shine a golden light. Now, this may be something you know how to do, but all I had was a vision and the feeling, once I

Mama Mia! Flying & falling dreams
“Married at 22 to a jackass, I spent 10 years with a cheater, and 10 years dreaming that I was falling. I never hit the ground, and I knew I was dreaming, but there it was: falling. And, it was scary. After that divorce, I found a gem of a husband who looks after me and treasures our love. Guess what? Now, the dreams are of flying. I am flying, and I’m good at it,

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,

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?

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
