Sometimes we get so bogged down in the small details of a problem that we miss seeing the whole situation. We can’t see the forest for the trees. Or, if you’re British, like me, we can’t see the wood for the trees. Either way, we’re too close to the situation (too close to the trees […]
“Can you write a blog about dreaming of being raped?” asked Laurie, after she awoke from a shocking rape dream. Laurie is a regular client, and since all dreams are unique and deeply personal, she knew there was more to interpreting a rape dream meaningfully than doing a quick Google hoping for a dream dictionary […]
In a recent dream, in a fairy-tale setting, I knelt at a fireplace in an open courtyard, gently tending the clay tablets etched with exquisite symbols that I was baking in the flames. At least, that’s how the scene would have looked to some of the people watching. Other onlookers, in my dream, were astonished […]
“I have a three year old patient who is having vivid nightmares of things he has never seen or experienced, like children trapped in a large hole, or something very violent like killing.

What’s the moral of the story of The Princess and the Pea? I’ve been putting people on the spot with this question, and I’ve received so many different replies. Before reading on, if you remember the story, give yourself a few moments and jot down the moral that you’ve always taken from this tale. Need […]

Each one contains a Philosopher’s Stone – an insight previously unknown to you that you can use to transform your waking life from base metal into gold. What treasure! What potential! Each night as you fall asleep you […]
“Married at 22 to a jackass, I spent 10 years with a cheater, and 10 years dreaming that I was falling. I never hit the ground, and I knew I was dreaming, but there it was: falling. And, it was scary. After that divorce, I found a gem of a husband who looks after me […]
