Back seat driver
Some dreams are just meant to be shared, and here’s one with a universal message. One of my regular clients brought this dream to me for interpretation and alchemy, and kindly offered it to share with you all on this blog. He dreamed he was a passenger on a gigantic bus, sitting near the back with his feet perched on a heavy metal bar. Suddenly he realised he wasn’t a passenger at all, he was
Put the baggage down
Today 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.) Sarah was first to respond, picking number 256, ‘Put the baggage down’. Here’s the full reading: 256: PUT THE BAGGAGE DOWN WHY? When your hands are free, you can put yesterday to bed and build a new tomorrow. CLARITY In which situation do
Dream interpretation results: Jennifer’s news, episode 47
Here’s an update from Jennifer, my guest in podcast episode 47, The Dream Show. Jennifer, a naturopathic physician, dreamed she was a contestant in a TV Top Model reality show, wondering whether she’d be eliminated in the final round. If you’ve listened to episode 47 (listen here), you’ll remember that Jennifer’s degree is in a new field, and she was experiencing difficulty in establishing recognition for her many years of academic training and medical expertise.
Dream interpretation results: Carla’s news, episode 44
Here’s an update from Carla, my guest on podcast episode 44, The Dream Show. Six weeks ago, Carla shared her Bodice Ripper dream on the show. The dream reflected her tendency to restrain or withhold her more passionate, creative heart-felt work, preferring to be seen as intelligent, valuing head over heart. Her ‘inner Nazi’ regard for order and perfectionism helped her guard against ripping that bodice open to reveal the passion. Although the dream was
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
