The Dream Show with Jane Teresa Anderson #122. What’s the moral of The Princess and the Pea? If you were to sleep on twenty feather beds piled high upon twenty feather mattresses, would you feel the pea the Queen had placed beneath this luxurious mountain of a bed, and would you mention your discomfort to your royal hosts in the morning? There are life lessons ripe for learning here. Far more uncomfortable than a pea under the mattress are those dreams where you feel over-the-top loss, devastation, rejection, betrayal, anger, or other painful emotions. Why do we have these kinds of dreams from time to time, and what do they mean? In this episode we also take a light-hearted look at life through the eyes of a dog and cat, explore how we interpret and misinterpret waking life, and interpret a dream at four different levels – physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. This is a power-packed episode that will broaden and deepen your approach to dreams, and get you thinking again about the goals you pursue in life. Enjoy.

The Dream Show with Jane Teresa Anderson #121. My guest, Gay, is keen to hear my take on a dream she had six months ago, a dream that profoundly changed her life. Gay dreamed of moseying along a walkway from a dark museum castle into a room filled with a blinding light where she embraced her estranged granddaughter. There are many deep and wonderful levels to Gay’s dream, its interpretation, its healing qualities, and we explore these as Gay tells her story. This inspirational episode will deeply touch your heart, while guiding you – as all our episodes do – in developing your dream interpretation and dream alchemy skills.

The Dream Show with Jane Teresa Anderson #120. Gwynne is my guest with a dream about a finding a camera with a shocking picture on the viewfinder. There’s a theme of lost and found, and another of being driven around – the passenger, never the driver – and so far back in the vehicle that she even falls out of the car. Who or what is lost? Who or what is found? And how does the shocking picture help Gwynne – once I’ve interpreted her dream – to understand and transform the deep programming which is limiting her waking life results? There’s plenty that many people will relate to in this dream, and that shocking picture carries a dramatic quality that will assist anyone whose life experience is limited by the common programming it represents. Listen as Gwynne and I discuss her dream, and hear her responses as she relates the dream to what is happening in her waking life.

(Our next episode, ep 121, will be released on 13 January 2011.)

The Dream Show with Jane Teresa Anderson #119. Lea, my guest today, dreamed of a poet who had been murdered long ago in a small Chinese town. She found his body parts and laid some out so that they would be discovered. Later in her dream she told of a man she once loved who caught a fantastical Chinese goldfish by dancing the hook along the water rather than by using bait. What’s the connection between China, the poet, the dancing hook, a wise old man, and a bottle of wine that needed to be shared between fourteen people? Lea is in the process of making a key decision, and today’s dream interpretation helps her to do this with confidence by making her aware of the perspective of her unconscious mind on the subject. Listen in as we connect the dream-fantastical to Lea’s waking life, and hear Lea’s responses, her story, and the dream alchemy we create. This is one of those episodes you will love to share.

Our next show, episode 120, will be released on December 16, 2011.

The Dream Show with Jane Teresa Anderson #118. Adelaide, my guest today, dreamed of falling from a window. She hit the ground and thought she had died, but a passing cat licked her face and revived her. Later in her dream, she found the perfect home – old, falling apart, holes in the walls, a broken drinking glass in the kitchen. The real estate agent couldn’t believe she’d want to live there, but Adelaide felt it was just right, exactly as it was. No renovation or repair required.

It’s commonly said that if you fall in a dream and hit the ground, you’ll die. Definitely not true! These dreams are exciting milestones. Listen in to find out why, and to hear how my interpretation corresponds with what is happening in Adelaide’s life. Dream interpretation, dream therapy, and dream alchemy combine to help Adelaide move forward in wonderful ways.

Our next show, episode 119, will be released on November 18, 2011.

The Dream Show with Jane Teresa Anderson #117. Anna, my guest, had one of those once-in-a-lifetime dreams, the kind you never forget. She questioned – was it a dream or an experience? She awoke with the physical sensation of a loving energy pulsing between her ovaries, and a sense that something extraordinary had taken place while she slept. Her dream included an exciting powerful entity taking over someone’s body, the search for an item of interest in a cave, and a transporting experience involving chanting and yellow and orange lights. Listen in as we relate Anna’s dream to her waking life and create dream alchemy to anchor her intention.

Our next show, episode 118, will be released in four weeks, on 21 October.

The Dream Show with Jane Teresa Anderson #116. Emily, from Northern California, is my guest today with a dream about moving into a new but dusty house. While cleaning, she discovers a dark hallway with a poker table and some lumberjacks from the 1850s. “How exciting, a haunted house!” she tells her husband, in the dream. There’s an animal and some clue-bearing numbers too. And there’s more, but who am I to spoil a good dream story?

Listen in as we discover how Emily’s dream reflects what’s going on in her life. Join us as we identify conflicts and blocks from way back that have been unconsciously influencing her actions and decisions in life. We then create a dream alchemy visualization to transform those blocks and open Emily’s way. Listen, learn more about dream interpretation and dream alchemy, enjoy!

(Our next show, episode 117, will be released in four weeks, on 23 September 2011.)

The Dream Show with Jane Teresa Anderson #115. Imagine getting Freud, Jung, and Hippocrates (a dream healer from around 2,300 years ago who became immortalized as the Father of Modern Medicine) into a room together to interpret a dream. They’d all have different views. Where would they agree, where would they disagree? In today’s show, I meet these dream pioneers and ask them to interpret a simple dream I had about a skateboard. It’s an imaginary meeting, of course! We keep it light and playful, and I’m sure you’ll enjoy the fun and smile at their different perspectives.

Also in today’s show, we look at why we often find it difficult to understand our own dreams, and we discover the connection between Reese Witherspoon, the history of Play Doh, and one small adjustment that you could make to have the life you want. Enjoy!

Episode 116 will be posted on 26 August.

There’s a plane trip, a saucy jogging club that reputedly began back in 1931, a spider named Venus Fly Trap, and 11 year old John from Liza’s schooldays who she hasn’t seen in all these years since then. What is HE doing in her dream? All will be revealed, in many surprising ways. It’s a funny and fun dream with a deeply meaningful insight for Liza that … well, that changes everything really! Enjoy!

The Dream Show with Jane Teresa Anderson #113. Can we dream of past lives? Do dreams set in an historic period take us back to past lives or are they symbolic? And what about dreams that mesmerize you, that stay with you for days, drawing you back into daytime reverie? Is it a good thing or a bad thing to keep reliving a dream, replaying it over and over again? In today’s show we explore this in depth, and then finish with a question: What’s the difference between a cobweb and a goat? I interpret a dream that involves – you’ve got it – a cobweb and a goat. If you enjoy a good dream interpretation puzzle, see if you can spot the connection before we delve into the dream!

The Dream Show with Jane Teresa Anderson #112. Who dreams about you? How many dreams have you starred in, or played a cameo role? Think of all the different people who have appeared in your dreams over the years – people you know well, people you vaguely know, people you know of but have never met. People in our dreams are symbols, but of what? In this episode I give you The Identity Method – how to interpret the meaning of the people who appear in your dreams. It’s an extract from my book, Dream Alchemy. Also in today’s show, we take a quick look at how searching for word play in dreams can deliver clues to interpretation, illustrating this with some quirky laugh-out-loud dreams contributed to a recent breakfast radio show by listeners calling in to consult me on air. Enjoy!

Sophia went to bed the night before our recording, asking for a special dream to bring to the show. She had seven dreams, and since all dreams on one night are usually connected in theme, we looked at three of these and quickly browsed the others. We struck plenty of gold. There’s the ethereal winged girl with eyes like white bird’s eggs that flies down to chat with Sophia, there’s a warehouse packed with plane parts, there’s an unconscious, dehydrated dog, a policeman with a special gift, a sea voyage that is successful against the odds, and a trip to see the Queen. How are these all linked, how do they relate to Sophia’s life, and what insight can she take from this night’s worth of dreams to make a big difference in her life? Listen in to find out!
