Once upon a time
copyright Jane Teresa Anderson, March 2010
During February, we spent a few weeks out on a rural property. Business is pretty transportable, what with laptops, skype, podcasting equipment that fits in a handbag – well, almost – and the ease of doing live radio over a home phone. Or so we thought.
It wasn’t that easy. Old, crackly phone lines, fickle internet connection, no cell phone connectivity. Thank goodness dreams don’t need special equipment. On tap, every night, come what may.
I left a few days before Michael. One night, he awoke from a dream in a freezing sweat. Something heavy and cold was slowly climbing up his arm. No really, it wasn’t a dream. He turned over the possibilities: snake (most likely), deadly snake (very possibly, there are plenty in the area); spider (maybe), deadly spider (they do exist); cockroach (would have to be a big one). Whatever it was, he knew that moving too quickly increased the chances of getting bitten. And how, he thought, would he summon help? No cell phone, crackly phone line, 50 acres to crawl across, if bitten by something venomous, to get to a rarely travelled country road in the middle of a dark night.
We had been told the property was haunted, and, well, maybe it was. Finally, Michael opened his eyes. It was a little green frog. Harmless, quite beautiful, but not really what you want to find in bed with you in the middle of the night.
So we’d had enough rural experience for a while, yet what did I see yesterday when I opened the back door here, back in the city? The biggest green frog I’ve ever seen, so still and translucent that at first, I thought it was a child’s toy.
How things change! This time last year, Australia was in serious drought. Now we have such an abundance of rain that we have huge green frogs in the city. I thought about kissing the frog, but, hey, I already have my handsome prince. Which brings me back to dreams: are you doing your dream alchemy practices? Are you transforming venomous snakes into bountiful green frogs, frogs into handsome princes, droughts into fields of green? Work with the stuff of your dreams to create waking life magic.

There are a few dramatic bathroom scenes, some anger and violence, and a happy ending with much dream gratitude expressed along the way.
Listen to Bonnie's surprise when she learns the meaning behind the sum paid for a house in the dream: $110,000. And just how can a dream reveal so much about her father's personality and its effect on Bonnie's life?
And, if you've ever had a dream about an unsuitable toilet, there's extra enlightenment for you here. So, press play and meet Bonnie for some laughter, some tears, and a beautiful break free ...

The right question
A radio presenter once asked me to interpret a caller's dream in 10 seconds. It was a dream about a lost tooth.
Could I do it in 10 seconds? What was my reply?
This episode is about the art of asking the right questions rather than giving the right answers, and I show you how to apply this method to your dreams to get deep and meaningful insight.
Along the way in this podcast you'll meet a talking dolphin, a kangaroo, and Deep Thought, 'the second greatest computer of all time and space'. Intrigued? Press play!

Episode 44:
Carla's dream: The bodice ripper
My guest today is Carla, with a real bodice ripper of a dream. Heads roll in an execution, blood flows, there's a marriage of convenience between an 18th century Nordic beauty and a Viscount, and much anticipation about how the wedding night will go.
As the romp continues, World War 2 begins and the Nazis arrive on the scene. Oh, and then there's the question of the little chapel, but wait - who am I to spoil the end of a blockbuster?
Carla has worked on her dreams for many years, and is interested in hearing my interpretation of the two dreams she presents here.
Listen in on our conversation, contemplations and blockbusting. (You can also visit Carla's blog.)

Episode 45:
Suzanne's dream: Prickly cactus
Today's guest, Suzanne, has a prickly cactus obstructing her way in her dream. Mud to one side, rocks to the other, and no shoes to protect her feet.
Could the letter written in red ink and carefully folded into three help? Well, yes, because everything becomes clear when a dream is interpreted.
If you love a bit of dream detective work, you'll love following the clues as we reach Aha upon Aha as Suzanne and I chat about her dream.
Listen as Suzanne makes all the connections to what's happening in her waking life, and as she notices her physical body responses to the interpretation.
Does Suzanne discover the way forward? Oh yes, and there's plenty of insight for you too: listen!
