Turning point: small shift, big change
What’s your best success story? It might be a career or business success, meeting your soul mate, a personal breakthrough, a creative or academic achievement, a lifestyle change, a contribution to your community, healing your body, finding peace. When you look back along the path, what was the turning point, the event, thought or action that led to everything else? Look back beyond the hard work, the persistence, the planning, the growing, the evolving –
Ghost secrets
Unlike Sleep Talkin’ Man, whose wife records everything he utters in his sleep and blogs it to the world, my husband Michael has to watch his tongue. His job requires him to keep secrets. No, he’s not a spy, though he was an undercover cop in London when he was very young, and he has been required to guard sensitive information in other career incarnations along his way. All good practice, I suppose, for being
Synchronicity: dream symbols in waking life
What does it mean when symbols from a dream start appearing in waking life? Here’s what usually happens. You have a dream featuring, for example, a red bucket. You wake in the morning and trip over your toddler’s toy red bucket in the hall. You dismiss this, thinking you must have seen the bucket there before you went to bed. Later that morning, you find a flyer tucked under your windscreen wiper. It features a
Dream symbols: Spot the theme
One way of working out the meaning of a weird dream symbol is to hunt the rest of the dream for individual words that play on a theme. It’s simple to do and hard to explain, so the easiest way to understand this is to follow the example. Weird dream symbol: Red shark Marc’s dream “A red shark is swimming in a pool. A child is who is wearing a ‘Save the Whales’ t-shirt has
Interviewed on Positive World Radio: Podcast
I was interviewed in-depth last week by neurokinesiologist Margaret Stuart on Positive World Radio. Margaret asks me about my past, how I recognised my gift, what turning points in my life helped me to identify my purpose and decide to work with it, how I got published, what kinds of challenges I’ve faced and how I’ve overcome them, and much more. Oh, and of course, Margaret asks me to interpret a couple of her dreams,
Sleep Talking Man
Do you talk in your sleep? Adam Lennard does, not that he remembers anything about it, but his every utterance is recorded by his wife, Karen, and blogged on a daily basis. Millions of people have visited the blog, Sleep Talkin’ Man, (4,481,944 unique visitors according to the site’s counter today) to catch Adam’s unconscious wisdoms – or wise cracks – such as: “Don’t worry. I’ll find it. That’s what I do, find things. I
Reveal your saboteur
Imagine that both Tom and Kim had the same dream. Each dreamed he was on his way to the airport to fly to another city for a work meeting when he realised he had left his ticket at home. He wondered whether he had time to go back home and get his ticket, or whether he would miss the plane. The dream ended there. What does it mean? The in-depth interpretation depends on how Tom
A powerful presence
This is the story of a very simple dream that had a profound effect on my life. The powerful factor was not the dream itself. It was what I did with the dream – I applied the very simple magic of dream alchemy. You can do this too. Here’s the story – and the formula. Once upon a time, long ago, I dreamed I was walking along a road when a horse came up from
Cleaning up the sh*t
“I was cooking for everyone, serving them, clearing away piles of dirty dishes, and even, at the end of the dream, picking up some faeces after someone crapped in a cupboard. I was walking around carrying this faeces – this sh*t – with nowhere to put it,” said David, a client who found his dream interpretation so insightful that he offered it for the blog to help others. “Would you say,” I asked, “that you’ve
Dream symbols: Teach an alien
How weird is weird when it comes to dream symbols? Everyday things like a picture frame, a purse, or a paperclip may not be weird in themselves, but weird in the context in which they appear in a dream. A picture frame would be a weird symbol to meet in the middle of a desert, for example. One approach to working out the meaning of an everyday item in a weird dream is to imagine
