Jann from Western Australia is my guest asking about a scary dream she had thirty years ago.

Jann has been recording her dreams since 1983, so you’ll hear her reading her account of the dream as she wrote it down way back then.

The tension mounts as the tale is told, a dark fairy tale of a dream. There’s a small tin hut in a clearing in a forest, a scary man with a wolf-like dog that smells like death, and lots of moonlight. I won’t spoil the story!

Even after all this time, as you’ll hear, Jann remembers what was going on back then in her life, and responds to how the interpretation fits. “It’s as if you were sitting on my shoulders,” she says.

Listen in as we explore and interpret Jann’s dream. Along the way we discuss some key points about dream interpretation that will help you to understand your own dreams.

Joshua from New Jersey is my guest asking about his dream of a serrated kitchen knife that, he fears, may be used to stab him.

There’s a whiff of threat and conspiracy in the air, and although Joshua is offered help, he declines, until he finally yells, “Call 411, call 411!” No-one responds, because 411 is the number to call for information on a business. He had meant to yell the emergency services number, “Call 911!”

Usually our guests retain anonymity, but when Joshua volunteered as a guest on the show he asked to share his details. He’s the author (under the pseudonym Emilio S Cot) of a new book on dreams, My Dreams and Me,  published in March this year by academic press MindMend Publishing. Here’s Joshua’s website.

Listen in as we explore Joshua’s dream to discover the true nature of the knife, the threat, and the conspiracy.

How many dream dictionaries have you got on your bookshelf?

It’s so very tempting to look up a dream symbol, or to look up several symbols from the dream you had last night and try to link them together, but how helpful is this approach really?

In this episode we look at why you might want to re-evaluate your collection of dream dictionaries, or, perhaps, toss them altogether.

Can looking up dream themes, rather than symbols be useful? For example, looking up themes of being lost, or being late, rather than symbols like a train station (you’ve lost your way to the station) or a doctor’s surgery (you’re late for an appointment)?

We look at how far an understanding of common dream themes can be helpful, and what you need to be able to do to build on such understanding to arrive at accurate insight into your dream and your life.

Finally, what if you – or the person who is helping you with your dream – gets the interpretation wrong? Is there such a thing as a right or wrong interpretation? By now, you’ll have many questions of your own. Curious? Go ahead, and listen.

The post Ep 218 The Dream Show: Can a dream dictionary help you to interpret a dream? appeared first on Dream interpretation and dream alchemy with Jane Teresa Anderson.

How many possible messages can you spot in a dream, and how do you know which is the right one?

You might wake from a dream and feel that its message was obvious, but is it right? How easy is it to misinterpret a dream, or to settle for the message that jumps out at you instead of delving deeper for one that offers you more appropriate clarity, wisdom, direction, and potential for powerful positive change?

Explore these questions with me, discover what it takes to unearth a dream’s message, and enjoy a side trip into two young children’s dreams, one about a tsunami of rubbish, and one about a scary lion. All designed to bring you closer to understanding your own dreams, naturally, as well as to inspire you and make you smile.

Patti from Seattle is my guest for our tenth anniversary show, asking about her dream of parachuting over the oceans to Italy to meet a widowed man who invites her to his bed.

What is the secret of Corsini Island, does Patti have enough battery power to fly home, and will she cover her betrayal by lying to her husband?

In this slightly extended episode, we begin with audio clips sent in by listeners to celebrate ten years of The Dream Show. You’ll hear Cynthia from St Louis, Missouri, USA; Caroline from SW England; Viv from Brisbane, Australia; Marjeta from Slovenia; Barbara from Sydney, Australia; Dana-Sofie from the Czech Republic; Kerry from the Sunshine Coast, Australia; and Domonique from Paris, France.

Huge gratitude to all our listeners over the last ten years, and to those of you who have courageously volunteered to be guests and opened to sharing your dream exploration to help others understand their dreams. Big thanks also to all of you have shared the show with dreamers all around the world.

None of this would have been possible without Michael, my husband, who has engineered the technical side of the recording and production since the very beginning, and – because of this  – probably claims the crown for having listened to the most episodes, in fact, every single episode in minute detail. Big love and deep appreciation to Michael.

And so we continue into the future, creating new episodes every four weeks. (You can learn more about The Dream Show here.)

Now, parachuting to Italy: what’s all that about?

The post Ep 216 The Dream Show: Live Dream Interpretation. Patti dreamed of a parachute trip appeared first on Dream interpretation and dream alchemy with Jane Teresa Anderson.

As we approach the tenth anniversary of The Dream Show, we look back at how it all began before sweeping into a theme of how past, present, and future intertwine in our dreams and in waking life.

You’ll meet a shaman and a boy-beast from my dreams, and discover how I worked out what they represented and what I could learn from their presence. We’ll explore why we sometimes dream of people and faces we’ve never met, and how to interpret the roles they play in our dreams.

I’ll also tell you the story of two strangers I met some 30 years ago, before I began working with dreams, and the strange and beautiful way in which our short conversation has reverberated throughout my life. It’s all about time. And it’s also about time for you to press the play button and join me, the shaman, and the boy-beast, and discover more insights into how to understand and work with your dreams.

The post Ep 215 The Dream Show: The shaman, the beast, and the nature of time appeared first on Dream interpretation and dream alchemy with Jane Teresa Anderson.

We begin around 2,500 years ago, looking at how the Ancient Greeks worked with their dreams to diagnose physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual issues, and to effect cures through processes evocative of our present-day dream therapy and dream alchemy practices.

We then take a side road to explore the symbolism of snakes before drawing up a list of the most important types of dreams to interpret. Since we have up to five dreams a night, those of us who are passionate about using our dreams to gain practical insight into our lives need some guidelines on where to begin. Which dreams should we prioritise?

We look at what it takes to develop a stronger intuition for interpreting dreams, and then end on the promised note: a modern mystery, in the shape of a synchronicity story, one of many I love to share from my magical, but very grounded, life.

Juliana from Atlanta, Georgia, is my guest this episode with a dream about a dreadful secret she does not want to hear.

In this very powerful episode, you’ll hear Juliana experience a deeply healing shift of perspective that opens the way for her to move forward.

The dream features her grandmother, the Grim Reaper, a short red demon, and an irritating little girl of 3-4 years in age who persistently tries to whisper a secret into her ear. Juliana finds the little girl more terrifying than the Grim Reaper or the red demon.

Listen in as we explore and interpret Juliana’s dream, discover how it relates to her life, and work with the insights to create the healing shift.

Fiona from Melbourne, Australia, is my guest this episode, with a dream about needing to escape.

It all started with a sports event where a swimmer almost got sucked up into a giant purple-violet flower. Fiona organised her rescue, but things escalated from there. Something just didn’t feel right. Was there a body behind a wall?

Listen in to find out what happened next, and how Fiona managed to escape. What was the most important item she needed to pack into her car for the great escape? A garbage bin, of course!

Join us as we gently explore this dream to discover how it relates to Fiona’s life and what insight and inspiration she can draw from it.

Are your dreams fleeting, difficult to recall, hazy in detail? Or are they deeply sensual, richly textured, minutely detailed, and thoroughly engaging?

Have you ever had a dream where you felt touched by the divine, or were transformed in ways that you struggle to find words to express?

This episode explores how to encourage more detail into your dream recall, as well as how to remember more dreams and more dream details, and the best ways to record your dreams so that you have a rich compendium of your night time escapades to work with.

A deeper engagement with your dreams gifts you a deeper engagement with your self, and from that point, life becomes clearer, lighter, and brighter in every aspect. As you look ahead to the beginning of a new year in only a few weeks, isn’t that a lovely thought?

Listen, take notes, get started.
