Once upon a dream, everything changed. I’d had a recurring dream theme for many years. The dream stories were always different, but, at some point, I would need to catch a bus. I was always in a faintly familiar city, but a little lost. The streets had changed, or the bus stops had moved, or
A few weeks ago, I was listening to a podcast to get to know the host a little before being a guest on her show. I clicked on her most recent episode, listened to some of it while doing some exercise at home, then settled into a window seat to hear the rest of the
Have your dreams become more vivid, crazy, momentous, and scary during the coronavirus crisis? Last week I wrote a blog about Dreams in the time of Covid-19 for my online learning platform, The Dream Academy.

Are you ready for another little synchronicity story? I like to play with synchronicities as if they’re dreams, letting them unfold and tell their own tales: A couple of weeks ago I received a renewal notice for my driver’s licence, and decided to renew it for the maximum, another five years. It’s one of those
Are there weeks where you remember many dreams, and others where they seem to fade altogether? Have you ever had a dream drought, and what can you do to bring back the flow? Do dreams naturally ebb and flow over days, weeks, months, or even years, or is it our ability to recall our dreams
I live quite lightly, but I do have some archive boxes where I keep special mementoes, and some things that I have treasured for so long that I can’t throw out. One of these ‘can’t throw out’ items is the first edition of a magazine that I made for my school in February 1966. It
