The Dream Show with Jane Teresa Anderson

Emily from Denver, Colorado, US, asks about her dream of attending a ceremonial banquet with Jonas Hill. As it turned out, Jonas Hill was replaced by an actor from The Office at the last minute, and the focus in this dream was more on the magnificence of the building and a curious word puzzle – falling somewhere between Hangman and Wheel of Fortune – that needed to be solved along the way. There’s...

Votey, from London, England, dreamed of a white-caped warlock calling a declaration of war in the middle of a shopping mall. All was well on this shopping expedition until a loud alarm or horn sounded, and an ominous vibe filtered through the mall. Votey and her sister dropped to their knees for protection as the warlock, wrapped in a white silk cape, commanded attention, speaking softly but clear...

Lucy, from Adelaide, South Australia, is my guest asking about her dream of her mother-in-law wearing a long red wig. Well, actually she wasn’t wearing the wig: it fell off in the road and Lucy rescued it. They were on their way to a seminar where they met up with other members of the family and their dogs, a rather chaotic gathering. At the seminar, the focus was all on the food stall, and a pack...

Ashley, from Anchorage, Alaska, is my guest asking about a dream that made a big impact on her a couple of years ago on the eve of her birthday. In her dream, Ashley was walking through a silent, snowy field when, suddenly, two giant snowmen, each 40 storeys high, loomed in front of her. Their eyes slowly dripped blood. Ashley felt no fear, but immense curiosity. Later, in a log cabin, she met fiv...

Tim, who lives near Rotterdam in The Netherlands, is my guest asking about her dream of a pending earthquake. Was it an earthquake? The ground was shaking. Was this the residue vibration of a faraway earthquake? The ground shook a second time. Is it a residue or is it the real thing, an advance rumble of a pending earthquake? There’s a sudden explosion and a fair park cart crashes onto the scene a...

Namitha, from Bangalore, India, is my guest, finding a little sanctuary during lockdown to ask about her dream. Namitha’s dream opens in a Hindu temple that reminds her more of a trip she took to Bali than of the Indian Hindu temples closer to home. The women wore their saris without blouses, each baring a shoulder, in a way that reminded Namitha of paintings from several hundred years ago. The dr...

Renee, my guest from Ohio, USA, had a vision of her deceased father who told her to pay special attention because she was about to have a very significant dream. Charged with this special mission, Renee slid into sleep focussed on gathering as many dream details as she could, so that she could bring the dream to The Dream Show to make sure she left no stone unturned in exploring its meaning. Throu...

Selin, from the San Francisco Bay Area, is my guest exploring her dream about a frustrating journey and an unusual planter, shaped like a coiled snake, filled with succulent flowers. Selin dreamed she was flying home to Istanbul, but got stuck in Germany, trying to get a boarding pass from a shambolic, 80s style office, complete with people sporting 80s perms and shoulder pads. People ignored her,...

Mouse, from the Salish Coast in Washington State, USA, is my guest asking about her dream of dodging daggers that a man was hurling at her. The daggers were quite beautiful, bronze blades with red and black handles, old, tarnished, and they had Mouse enthralled. Things evolve until, much later in the dream, Mouse drives an abandoned old white van with a vagrant man sleeping on the back seat, and b...

Anna from North Carolina is my guest with a dream about a place where dead people roam the streets. Very much alive herself, she wanders along, occasionally veering off the path. There’s a bit of a groundhog theme, as she meets the same creepy guy, walking with his bicycle, three times. Each time they have the same superficial conversation. Why does he keep reappearing? Later in the dream, there i...

Liz from Queensland, Australia, is my guest today with a dream about running on a dusty path, and all the things she encounters along the way. There’s a prison to pass through, there are old metal car parts being thrown her way, there’s the potential for fire, and there are people suggesting she take a different track. There are tunnels, spiky brambles, and thoughts of hiding and escaping as well...

Erica, from Austin, Texas, is my guest with a dream about joining a line of people at a funeral or wake – she wasn’t sure which. Someone from her graduating class, who had died, was in the line, very much alive and well. Whose funeral was it? One of Erica’s friends was there, and a small casket. Had her friend’s husband or baby died? And why was Erica’s sister intent on pushing her skin care produ...

Sue from Rye, England, is my guest with a dream about finding keys and valuable jewels in a dried cat’s stomach. Of course, there’s more to the tale! Sue’s dream begins with revisiting a small house she liked, with a view to buying it. It has pluses and minuses, and it has a box that Sue is drawn to look into, which is where she finds the keys and jewels inside a cat’s dried stomach. Who is the wo...

Jane from Sebastopol, California, is my guest with a dream that begins with a roiling boil of rats and ends with the discovery of a bee colony and a newly seeded geometric garden. Along the way, she meets a black bear, several chaotic, shadowy situations, and spends some time at a college party with a bunch of roommates who insistently blame her for some broken windows. Jane’s dream comes at a tim...

My new book, Bird of Paradise, was destined, it seems, to be published during lockdown, perfect timing perhaps for a book about finding your way during times of uncertainty. In this episode I share a couple of stories related to these times and my book, then read an extract from ‘Bird of Paradise Taming the Unconscious to Bring Your Dreams to Fruition’ , to introduce you to this, my se...

Rita from Cape Town, South Africa, is my guest asking about her dream of a baby crawling in the middle of a busy highway to retrieve her dummy. There were twins, one on the side of the road, one crawling into head-on traffic before getting run over by a van. Rita was hysterical, but the strange thing is … well, you will discover what the strange thing is when you listen! What does it mean? Listen...

Kim from Washington State, USA, is my guest with a dream about a parting of the clouds to reveal a golden sunset and a white sandy beach scattered with sheep. Sheep on the beach? What’s that about? Oh, and by the way, the sheep were Jesus’s sheep. Earlier on in the dream, the dramas and symbols were less ethereal but totally intriguing. There were yellow padded bras left out in the open, a curious...

Celena from Clarkesville, Georgia, is my guest asking about a series of increasingly catastrophic dreams. The dreams took place over six weeks. In the first dream Celena is building a safe place, a bunker, because of an imminent weather-related event. By the second dream the danger is war, and by the third dream it’s the coming of the Antichrist. Celena was concerned about the progressively catacl...

Benjamin from Germany is my guest with a dream about a zombie attack on a fantasy mediaeval city. There’s a Game of Thrones feeling, a foul-smelling mass, house to house fights, and riddles to solve. It’s a multi-level adventure of a dream that, once interpreted, throws light on Benjamin’s waking life situation in a way that leaves him with goose bumps – not the kind of goose bumps you get from th...

A cousin expresses shocking anger, another cousin steals a wallet, there’s a deformed dog that bites Jay painfully on the hand.
