On solid ground
(Note: I wrote this article ten years ago, during a period of change, before I had found the name ‘dream alchemy’ to describe the approach I was evolving. Yet here it is, and there I am, doing the magic that created the firm foundation upon which the last ten years have been built.) *** In […]
Hole in the road
Out driving recently, we slowed down to pass road works. Orange witches’ hats marked off a hole in the centre of the road. Intrepid road workers were jack-hammering their way, waist deep in rubble, ear deep in mind numbing noise. “You know,” Michael began, “whenever we passed road works when we were children, Dad would […]
Dream vibrations and the LOA
I am often asked about the Law of Attraction, and whether nightmares and dreams with negative vibes attract negative people and events into our lives. It’s a good question. So, let’s explore: Books about the Law of Attraction have enjoyed waves of popularity since the early 1900s, with a recent resurgence in the early 1990s […]
Charlie’s bone
A dog, Charlie, sees a meaty bone tantalisingly just out of reach, on the grass, on the other side of a high wire fence. The aroma twitches his nose, moistens his mouth, and fixes his eyes to the tasty prize. The only problem is the fence between where he is now and where he wants […]
Trash tells all
“I don’t believe in dream interpretation. Dreams are just the brain filtering through daily stuff, sorting out the trash. That’s why you get bits of work, bits of television, bits of things you’re worried about. You wouldn’t want to analyse mine! Let the trash go, I say. Wake up fresh.” I love it when people […]
A powerful presence
This is the story of a very simple dream that had a profound effect on my life. The powerful factor was not the dream itself. It was what I did with the dream – I applied the very simple magic of dream alchemy. You can do this too. Here’s the story – and the formula. […]
How to cure a headache
“It was a horrifying dream,” began Simon, “but I know enough about dreams to know it’s not what it seems. “I was swinging an axe down hard on a kangaroo’s head, but that’s not the worst of it.” Simon has worked with me on his dreams for some time, and invited me to share this […]
Lottery win
If you won the lotto (lottery) in a dream, would you go and buy a lotto ticket? Some big winners live to tell that tale, but here’s a different story to warm your heart and remind you of the real power of numbers in dreams. Alison phoned me on a recent radio show to […]
Dream daze
What should you do when you can’t seem to shake off a dream, when it haunts, dazes, or distracts you from your daily tasks? Is it a good thing to linger with the theme that tugs at the edges of your heart or mind, or are there dangers in reliving and replaying the dream over […]
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 […]
