OUR SECOND SESSION IN THE SERIES OF THREE DREAM WORKSHOPS is coming up Sunday. We will turn our focus to two powerful techniques for putting our dreams to work for us. These are lucid dreaming and dream incubation, and while they are naturally occurring phenomena, participants will learn step-by-step methods for inducing them and working […]

A SMARTER YOU IS ONLY 15 MINUTES AWAY! Aha! I have been wondering where she’d got to, my smarter self. She slipped away back in ’92, round about the time Apple stock was selling at $6 a share and Nike at 52 cents. Of course Blinkist doesn’t really mean it that way. Smart Carolyn isn’t […]

OK. I’M THINKING SOME SENSITIVITY TRAINING IS IN ORDER HERE. You know what I mean — that sort of interminable, eye-rolling in-service whereby heretofore know-it-alls learn that they don’t know so much after all. What used to be OK, is now taboo. What once was funny ain’t funny no more. I’m talking about all you […]

Location plays a big role in the meaning of dreams. Not only is it helpful to consider the setting where your dream takes place, but also note the placement of objects and […]

THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT edition of Think, Dream, Play, offered in hopes of helping even one family who suffers from the devastating effects of a widespread but rarely spoken of condition present in their homes. Your champion is here. I stand with you: My cat, too, has the poop crazies. There. I’ve said […]

OUR DREAMS OFFER US VALUE and enjoyment on multiple levels. Perhaps the greatest value of the material in our dreams is its pragmatic nature. Our nightly dreams come to us in service of our daily health and well-being. Like a loving parent or mentor, our dreams offer insights into our own puzzling and sometimes confounding […]

“CALL BLOCK MEMORY FULL.” Uh oh. I didn’t anticipate this. I have been gleefully adding four or five phone numbers a day — a day! — to our landline’s Call Block storage. Barring the multitudes of unwelcome phone calls is our only respite from the relentless onslaught of solicitations. Even after renewing our enrollment in […]

PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE EMOTIONS IN YOUR DREAMS. They can lead you to understanding your dream’s message. In today’s example, our dreamer recognizes the emotion of fear and an underlying sentiment of deception. That combination is key to calling his own bluff and taking action or forever putting off success to an unspecified time […]

SOME OF THESE OLD FOLKS ARE FEISTY! “Feisty” is the only f-word I’m allowed to spell out in this family publication, but let me tell you — if you ask a person at the upper end of the actuarial table what it’s like to get older, step back! Because she will answer! And, it turns […]
