Dream interpretation: UFOs and aliens
Have you ever seen a UFO or an alien in your dreams? Have you communicated with extraterrestrials, or visited other planets? Or do you have a vague feeling, perhaps even a memory, of having been abducted by aliens, or of travelling in a spaceship or UFO before being returned to wake in your own bed at home? Do you believe you can communicate, telepathically, with beings from other worlds while you sleep, waking up
Healing with dream alchemy
What kind of results are you getting from doing dream alchemy? Doing, is the important word. You can read about it (my book, The Dream Handbook), understand how it works, design one for yourself, but it’s only when you actually commit to doing a dream alchemy practice that magic – healing magic – happens. Helen Thomas, a gifted Brisbane psychic medium, recently blogged about her experience of the healing power of dream alchemy following a skype
Dream Alchemy: All lit up
I love hearing stories like this one. Renee Price, a keen listener of our podcast show, flew interstate last week to visit a relative in a hospice. She took my book, Dream Alchemy, (2019: Retitled The Dream Handbook) with her, and was moved to email me her experience. (I asked Renee for permission to share her story here, and she was delighted. “When I was traveling, I never had people comment on a book I
Dream touchstones
When is a piece of jewellery not a piece of jewellery? (That’s jewelry for those of you who smile at our English-Australian spelling.) Remember Heidi, my guest on episode 68 of The Dream Show? Heidi is a celebrity TV presenter of a cooking show in Shanghai, and also runs Sanctus Stones, a wearable energy business, with her mother and sister. During episode 68, Heidi mentioned using a dream wristlet as a totem to help her
Your personal dream dictionary
Buying a dream dictionary from a bookshop is not really going to be very helpful to you because most dream symbols are personal to the dreamer. An elephant in Joe’s dream might mean something completely different to an elephant in Matt’s dream, for example. Joe might be a cartoonist who learned his first cartooning skills drawing an elephant character, so an elephant in his dream might symbolise ‘practice’ or ‘new skills’. Matt might have been
Dream interpretation: Slo-mo with glue feet
Have you ever dreamed of trying to walk or run somewhere only your feet feel glued to the ground, or the air around you seems viscous and sticky, making what should be an easy pace into an intense gym workout? You have? It’s a very common dream theme. So what does it mean, and why is it so common? This kind of dream tends to come up when you’re resisting progress with something in your
Dream interpretation: Landscapes
How many different landscapes have you encountered in your dreams? Have you visited mountains, forests, deserts, foreign cities, unknown suburbs, rolling hills and valleys, lush countryside, steep rock cliffs, or barren wastelands? What do these dream settings mean? The landscape in your dream helps describe the situation you find yourself in, the one your dream sets out to explore. If you find yourself in a dream desert, for example, you might be dreaming about a
Dream alchemy for every dream?
“Twenty times a day for two weeks!” is the startled response I usually hear when I describe the procedure for a dream alchemy visualisation to a first-time client. “Yes, then twice a day for another four weeks,” I add, “just first thing in the morning and last thing at night.” (Dream alchemy practices are simple exercises, such as visualisations, based on symbols from your dream. Your dream symbols come from your unconscious mind, so these
Bad dreams & dementia?
Recent research has got people all excited about a possible link between people who thrash about in bed while they’re dreaming and the later development of dementia, in particular, Parkinson’s Disease. Here’s a video clip (2019: Video clip no longer available) of me talking about this on The Morning Show, Channel 7, this morning. So let’s have a look at this: Normally, we don’t thrash about in bed while we’re dreaming. We might toss and turn
Inception: Can you control a dream?
Can you control your dreams? Can you control other people’s dreams? Have you seen the movie Inception, directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, released in recent weeks? It’s about a team of people who control other people’s dreams and get them to reveal their secrets. The team is asked to go one stage further: to control a target’s dream and implant an idea, so that when that target wakes up, he believes the
