The Sandman
I’ve got this earworm as I write, and it’s all because Michael emailed me a link yesterday to “Find the #1 Song on the Day You Were Born”. It turns out the number one song on 22 December 1954 was Mr Sandman by The Chordettes, with its opening line, “Mr Sandman, Bring me a dream […]
Ikea meets Apple meets Hanuman
When change is in the air, are you a baby steps kind of person or a giant leap of faith kind of person? Or do you dig deeper into the comfort of familiar territory and resist change? I’m going to share three stories. One is about yoga and a Hindu God, one is about a […]
All the world’s a stage
The moment has come to step out on stage and perform in front of an audience but you haven’t prepared. Worse than this, you know zilch. It’s a common dream theme, and you’ve probably had a variation of it at some point in your life. What did you make of it? How did you relate […]
An ordinary fairy

Something old, something new
“I met a completely new person in my dream, yet he felt so familiar. I must have created him, the details of his face and body, his clothing, but why that feeling of knowing him so well?” It was my birthday earlier this week, and we were out celebrating when we bumped into a friend, […]
Episode 143 A platter of dreams

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 […]
Singing with Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant
Have you ever met and deeply related with a celebrity or well-known public figure in a dream? How did you feel when you woke up and recalled the dream? Did you feel as if you really made contact, as if it were more than a dream? Did you feel inspired, or energised in some way? […]
