We begin with the light-hearted, a bit of fun and a laugh to illustrate just how far the unconscious can go to try to save us from feeling pain, yet how that same unconscious can speak loud and clear in waking life once you know how to look and listen. It speaks even more clearly in dreams, once you know how to read them, and in this episode we plunge into the kind of dreams
Renee is my guest having her dream interpreted on The Dream Show. What do you do when a rich foreigner opens his heart, shines his love, and literally offers you the world? In Renee’s dream, you run! “She’s too stupid to see he’s trying to help her,” shout some people in a bowling alley as she runs through, pursued by the foreigner’s men and a newspaper arrow that seems to have a life of its
What comes to you in your life, and how do you feel about it? What would you like to come to you – to attract into your life? What do you do to try to make this happen? Are you succeeding, or are you just experiencing same-old? How can working with your dreams and dream alchemy help you? “It will come to you” is a catchy, uplifting song by The Rooftops (my son, Euan Gray,
Juana is my guest in this episode, with a dream about being on a television show to ask for help for her disabled (she used the word handicapped in the dream) son. (Her son is not disabled in waking life.) She was pleased with herself for speaking up on air, even though she felt exposed and a little ridiculous, and did not receive the help she had wanted. It was a different story when they
Katie is my guest asking about a dream she had the night after breaking up with her boyfriend. In the dream, her boyfriend carries on with another girl at a party as if Katie’s invisible. She’s so angry that she violently throws another girl onto her back, again and again, while the girl just laughs at her. By the end of the dream, the boyfriend declares his dilemma and his love for Katie in a
Welcome to the first episode recorded in my new studio! I wonder if you can hear any difference. It’s a bigger space, so I can stand at the microphone and wave my arms and hands around as I talk to you. Even though you can’t see me, it feels good to get my whole body involved in painting the picture I want to communicate to you. I was talking to my two and a half
Nicole is my guest with a dream about pythons writing in her backyard, and if that’s not dramatic enough for a scary dream, how about that sabre tooth tiger that emerges from the bushland? Oh, and did I mention unicorns? People often ask “what does it mean to dream of snakes?” There is no universal answer, and like all dream symbols, the snake in your dream may mean something quite different from the snake in
My guest, Susan, brings her richly entertaining dream to the show for interpretation and insight. The action all takes place on campus at an ivy-covered science building, where a psychic is on stage, sharing knowing glances with Susan. There’s breaking news, drums beating out a protest, and pandemonium when Susan is accused of being an interloper. It’s just as well that the Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, wearing an emerald green gown, is there to
Julie is my guest having her dream interpreted in this episode of The Dream Show. She dreamed her sister-in-law visited her and laid some new carpet using a new gas vacuuming process. “Hmm, everything changes,” thought Julie in the dream, and she quite liked the result at first – crimson, turquoise, deep blue – but when her sister-in-law added a patch of lime green carpet to the ceiling, she wasn’t so sure. Listen as Julie
Where to begin when learning the art of dream interpretation? Is there a formula that can be applied to all dreams? One of the challenges I face in my public work – writing books, writing blogs, creating podcasts, doing radio, giving workshops – is how to make this complex subject easier to understand. I like using plain English (no jargon or academic language), and I like to use humour, metaphors, and simple examples. I like
