WE HAVE DONE OUR BEST. AND YET. Believe me; we are as surprised as you might be if you could see our deck — Dewey’s hangout. It looks like a hillbilly’s front yard! A quick survey of the surroundings includes sundry items, chewed nearly, but not quite, into oblivion: rebar, boat dock bumpers (small and […]
Send Me Your Dreams: Falling? Find help on solid ground!
STRESSFUL TIMES BRING stressful dreams. Today’s dreamer brings three quick examples of how our dreams can point out the urgency of the situation. They also show by omission what our dreamer is missing.
Think, Dream, Play: Mind your own guilty pleasures
OK. SO I EAT PEANUT BUTTER OUT OF THE JAR. Sometimes! Not every time! I admit to taking my spoon and dipping into the Skippy. Yum! I don’t even sit down. That’s right. I stand at the kitchen counter with the pantry door wide open. After a couple of nibbles, I bring out the apricot […]
Send Me Your Dreams: Get rid of the bodies!
HOUSES AND LIVING SPACES may symbolize a dreamer’s state of mind — the place s/he lives mentally. Today’s dream of a beautiful house with a shocking secret room presents a clear example of this interpretation.
Think, Dream, Play: Our own profile in courage
TELL ME IF YOU’VE EVER heard of this before. Ever. In your history of observing your own aging parents or the parents of friends, or even elderly strangers, I challenge you to match this story for courage. Find a better role model and tell me all about him or her. In your own experience, can […]
Send Me Your Dreams: Is OK good enough?

Send Me Your Dreams: Meds can interfere with sleep, dreams
THIS SUNDAY, JUNE 28, WE WILL HOST THE THIRD in a series of workshops designed to enhance a dreamer’s ability to understand his/her own dreams and to help others understand theirs. Understanding may include multiple layers of meaning, but at the very least will offer a “real world,” waking-life application of dreams’ insights, admonitions and […]
Think, Dream, Play: Popeye, Olive and me
I HAVE DONE WHAT ANY NORMAL PERSON WOULD DO under the circumstances. I have packed a slab of thick-sliced hickory-smoked bacon on my face. Of course. That’s what my grandma did when my grandpa had a stye. Of all the indignities a person must suffer! A stye! Really. A flippin’ stye! Well that’s just great.
Send Me Your Dreams: Start your own committee
OUR DREAMS COME TO US in service of our health and well-being. That doesn’t always mean they tell us what we want to hear. But they always tell us what we need to hear. Today’s dreamer offers a perfect example, though she may not like it very much.
Think, Dream, Play: Zen and the raisin
IF ONLY I HAD A RAISIN. Seems like there’s always something standing in the path of my peace of mind. How can a person cultivate mindfulness, one of the primary components of happiness, if there’s no raisin in the house? I bought raisins specifically for this purpose! Little boxes of raisins. But before I could […]
