Be intimate
Yesterday I invited people on FaceBook to pick a number between 1 and 365 to get a reading from my book The Compass. (There are 365 readings in the book.) Barbara was first to respond, picking number 88, ‘Be intimate’. Here’s the full reading: 88: BE INTIMATE WHY? Sharing personal insight and feelings heals body, mind and soul. CLARITY Who knows the personal, private you? Who do you know well, personally and
How things change!
During February, we spent a few weeks out on a rural property. Business is pretty transportable, what with laptops, skype, podcasting equipment that fits in a handbag – well, almost – and the ease of doing live radio over a home phone. Or so we thought. It wasn’t that easy. Old, crackly phone lines, fickle internet connection, no cell phone connectivity. Thank goodness dreams don’t need special equipment. On tap, every night, come what may.
Comfort zone: the things we do!
When was the last time you stepped out of a comfort zone? What did you do? How did it feel? How did the experience enrich your life? We create and inhabit comfort zones to protect ourselves from facing our fears. We erect boundaries beyond which we prefer not to step. Often, though, the greatest danger lies inside the comfort zone, as this dream (posted to our old dream forums), portrays so vividly: “I was nursing
Dream symbols: The personality question
Throw out any dream dictionaries lurking on your bookshelves. The symbols in your dream are all about you. So how can you discover their meaning? Here’s an easy, fun, and accurate way. Imagine your dream symbol is a tennis ball, for example. Ask, “What is the personality of a tennis ball?” Answer fast. Don’t allow time to think. You might say, “Bouncy, happy, team-orientated.” I might say, “Can’t make up its mind – back and
Radio 4BC: Decapitated!
John phoned me on Alex Bernard’s show on Radio 4BC last week to ask me about his decapitation dream. “A pane of glass hit me across the back of the neck and chopped my head off. I saw my head fall, so I was still alive, but I couldn’t breathe or cry.” Sounds gruesome, doesn’t it? Dreams of decapitation are actually relatively common. I have heard many variations over the years, and because each dream
Radio 5AA, Adelaide: Former glory
Words can be very telling, especially the words we use to describe our dreams. They often come direct from our unconscious mind – perfect keys to interpretation. So next time someone is telling you about a dream, listen for those tell-tale words. Alison called Radio 5AA last week when I was interpreting dreams on Amanda Blair’s show. Alison asked about a recurring dream in which she inherits a big, run down mansion that would need
That’s Love Magazine, Sex dreams
The That’s Life Magazine (Australia) team have just launched a new quarterly mag, That’s Love, and asked me to interpret some sex dreams for their first issue. With their permission, here’s an extract from my article: “Dream sex is symbolic. Just as your body responds to a scary dream by releasing the fear hormone adrenalin which pumps up your heart rate and gives you cold sweats, your body responds sexually to a sex dream and
Adapt
Yesterday I invited people on FaceBook to pick a number between 1 and 365 to get a reading from my book The Compass. (There are 365 readings in the book.) Debbie picked number 172, ‘Adapt’. Here’s the full reading: 172: ADAPT WHY? Your environment is your teacher. CLARITY What changes are challenging you? Where are you feeling restricted? Imagine accepting the restrictions you are feeling. How would your life change in the
Dream interpretation results: Kate’s news, episode 39
Ah, the power of dream alchemy! Here’s an update from Kate who was my guest in podcast Episode 39 of The Dream Show. You may remember that Kate dreamed she was a passenger on a cartoon-like plane, wondering whether to have cartoon gin with her cartoon tonic. (Listen to Kate and I discussing her dream: episode 39.) After interpreting the dream I gave Kate a dream alchemy practice to do to reprogram her unconscious mind
Radio ABC Victoria: Royal advice
Dianne had a chat with Prince Philip in a recent dream – as you do – but didn’t quite understand his royal advice, so she phoned me on Kathy Bedford’s Statewide Drive show on Radio ABC Victoria this week to ask for an interpretation. Dianne dreamed she had joined a tour group headed for London, but the group was fragmenting, and there were only two people left. Soon, however, she was on a train, London-bound,
