Congratulations, it’s a vampire
“In my dreams I give birth, but never to babies,” began the caller to my dream talk back segment on radio last week. “I have birthed a vampire, a penguin, an insect … what does all this mean?” No doubt the caller was pretty startled to look down and see a vampire flexing its wings and flashing its fangs in anticipation of its first feed at its mother’s breast. And no doubt she was relieved,
New year opportunities
Welcome to a new decade and a new place to meet and interact with others interested in dreams. Yes, I’ve finally done it: I’ve created a FaceBook Page where you can meet others and stay in touch with me and what’s new. Please spread the word! Wishing you many beautiful blessings for 2010.
Release the future
Here’s a reading I’ve chosen for you at random from my book The Compass. There are 365 readings in the book. This is number 223: 223: RELEASE THE FUTURE WHY? Your future is in better hands when you are fully alive to the present. CLARITY How much time do you spend thinking about, or worrying about, the future? How much time do you spend tuning into the present? Looking back, what was
Radio 2GB: Once upon a time
Once upon a time, four months ago, to be precise, there were three venomous snakes – a red-bellied black, a brown, and a tiger snake. The three snakes appeared to Kim in a dream. The next day, Kim asked someone the meaning of her dream, and was told to beware three dangers coming her way. If you were Kim, how would you feel, and what would you do? Kim worried. Naturally. And then, during the
Put to the test
Just released: I’m interviewed in this podcast by Dr David Van Nuys, Emeritus Professor of Psychology at Sonoma State University, on his Shrink Rap Radio show. And I’m put to the test, so listen in to hear the results. What test? There’s some controversy over whether dreams can be analysed without input from the dreamer, and, as you know, I not only offer this service but also take it to the limit when I interpret
Can dreams help heal disease?
Can dreams help you to heal from disease? Most, if not all, diseases begin with the mind. Stress, emotional issues, fears, and beliefs can and do manifest in the physical body if not addressed. When your mind is not at ease, when it is at dis-ease, bodily disease may follow. Since dreams reveal your emotional and mental make-up, they offer an opportunity to understand a disease or illness from an emotional-mental perspective. If you are
Ice floes and flows
“I hear there’s a giant iceberg heading your way,” said Phyllis, sitting comfortably in Texas, chatting over skype. “Iceberg?” I queried, baffled. Phyllis is my guest on this Friday’s podcast, and we were warming up to record the show while Michael was setting the recording levels. Also warming up, I now know, is a 19 km slice of Antarctica, aka B17B, weighing 20 billion tonnes and heading towards the west coast of Australia. “When I
Driven
What drives you to get out of bed in the morning? Hunger for food, a full bladder, a sense of duty, a need to earn money, a passion for your work, your baby’s cry, fear of being late for work, hunger for success, a sense of adventure? Before reading on, have a think about all the things that get you moving during a typical day. As well as some of the above, perhaps you are
Time out
Looking for insight? Read your waking life! Just as you can interpret a dream, you can interpret your waking life. After all, it’s YOUR waking life: you’re the one creating it and responding to it, so it is a unique reflection of everything you are. Your waking life is a perfect manifestation of your conscious and, more powerfully, your unconscious mind. But just as it can be difficult to distance yourself enough from your own
Opportunity: can you see it?
Life is full of opportunity. Even when it doesn’t feel like it. Especially when it doesn’t feel like it. So how can you choose and make the most of the opportunities surrounding you every day, if you can’t see or feel them? Your dreams are a good place to start since they reflect the way you see your waking life and how you feel about it. With a little training, you can learn to look
