Dream catching
Today I was honoured to receive the first ‘dream catcher wristlet’, a signature piece, designed by Wendy Dugan of Sanctus Stones, to enhance dream recall. One of the stones featured in the piece is prehnite, a pale green crystal with darker green streaks suspended below the surface, like seaweed. Nested amongst seed pearls, amethysts and other gems and stones, the prehnite has kept drawing me in all day. Staring into its depths reminded me of
Radio HotFM 95.7 Gravestone dream
I was interpreting dreams on Chippy and Step’s Morning Juice breakfast show on Radio HotFM WA 95.7 this morning. One of the callers was Rebecca, who had dreamed she was driving along their main highway and had reached the point where they’re building a new road. So far, everything in the dream was as it is in waking life. But then she noticed there were lots of gravestones lining the highway near where the new
Backwards or forwards?
This morning, I sat in the bow end of a small speedboat, my back to the direction of travel, as we idled along a broad river. A perfect cooling breeze, a heavenly way to start the day. An elderly man sat on the riverbank, singing the boat into motion. This was a dream, of course. As his song picked up energy, the boat picked up speed, until we were flying so fast through the water
It’s a what?
He was tall and rivetingly handsome, striding towards the ocean, wearing a new, seafaring sweater and carrying something under his arm. What was it, an inflatable raft? “What’s that?” I asked, pointing to the raft. Or was it a set of bagpipes? He looked bewildered, as was I by now, but an old lady behind me coughed up, “It’s an urggg, urggg, urgggg …” What was going on?! She struggled on, a kind of phlegmy
Attitude
“Oh, that’s good, I like that,” chuckled Michael, indicating the car in front of us as we were driving home yesterday. “Angst is attitude.” “Uh?” “Angst is attitude.” “A new angle to an old twist, an appealing je ne sais quoi,” I agreed, appealing to my je ne sais quoi for an explanation. (What on earth was he referring to?) “Bumper sticker! Angst is attitude!” Michael persisted. And there it was, a bit road grimy,
Max’s moustache
Sipping a a double shot espresso with Michael at Albertos this morning, I noticed our waiter’s Movember moustache. “Can’t wait to shave it off,” he confided. “Children look at me like I’m the scary kind of man their Mums have warned them about.” Never heard of Movember? The Movember Movement began in Australia and is now worldwide. Men who participate don’t shave their moustaches for the entire month of November as a fundraiser and awareness
And the winner is …
“My song has been nominated for an ISSA (Independent Singer Songwriter Association) award, open to public vote!” ran the excited email I received over the weekend from Phyllis A Travis, a Texas-based attorney and insurance adjustor, who has been applying dream alchemy to overcome her fear of going public in several areas of her life. A fear she has clearly overcome and she has invited me to share some details with you. Now in her
Dream interpretation results: Julia’s news, episode 18
Can dream interpretation change your life? Meet Julia, who had her dream interpreted when she was my guest on Episode 18 of my weekly podcast, The Dream Show. She contacted me this morning, 12 weeks after her interpretation, to share her story. As a dream analyst, I have the pleasure of witnessing the powerful outcomes people experience when they have a dream interpreted and apply dream alchemy, but many of these stories are private, and
The folds of time
I hesitated to share this story because it sounds implausible, but it did happen, on Friday to be precise, and the scientist-in-me has been trying to explain it away. So I entice you to don the hat of your choice – dreamer, scientist, detective, alchemist, sceptic, mystic, reader – and explore this mystery: Three weeks ago, husband Michael’s favourite hat disappeared. Last remembered at a picnic, last seen in my car, nowhere to be found.
A tale of two snakes
I’ve just had coffee with a beautiful soul who is creating something quite exquisite to celebrate dreams. You’ll hear about it here first, when it’s ready to unveil. “What is that pendant you always wear? Some kind of totem?” she asked, leaning forward to examine the fine detail of the chain that I wear day and night. “Two snakes, from a dream,” I smiled, settling back to tell my story. “It all began in the
