As bizarre and off the wall as dreams can be, sometimes the real life story behind the dream is more twisted than the dream itself!

Yesterday I was on KZHT in Salt Lake City with Frankie, DB and Jessica – as I am every Monday – when a woman called in with a frightening dream she had been having for 16 years and couldn’t figure out what was causing it.  Well, we got to the bottom of it, and when we did… wow!

Listen to the audio below.  The dream is just a bit long BUT the story behind it is shocking so it is definitely worth the listen!!

As you heard, a good way to figure out a recurring dream is to pinpoint when in your life the dream started, then ask yourself what happened back then that I haven’t been able to resolve?  Or, what began then that is continuing to this day? That will often help you get to the issue behind the dream.  Once you are able to pinpoint the issue, you MUST take action to resolve it otherwise your dreams will continue to nag you until you do.  The dreaming mind does not like complacency.  This callers case is a good example.  Her dreams have been nagging her for years because no one in her family will talk about this issue.  Now she knows what she needs to do.  And if she does open up a dialogue with her family, or at least with her brother, the dreams will stop.

What about you?  What recurring dreams do you have?

Don’t let your dreams frighten you!  Let them enlighten you!!  Grab yourself a copy of one of my books and you’ll easily understand your dreams every morning and get a HUGE edge in life.

Houses in dreams, whether it is your actual house or not, are one of THE most important symbols to pay attention to because they represent the self… YOU!  And every different room in the house has meaning.  In this post, we are going to explore the basement, the deep dark place in the psyche where we push things down that we don’t want to deal with.

I was recently a guest on the KZHT Morning Zoo with Frankie, DB and Jessica in Salt Lake City (I’m on every Monday, btw) when Jaycee called in with an interesting basement dream.  Listen and find out the important message her house/basement dream is giving her about her schooling…

What are your house dreams like?  Do you tend to dream of a certain room more than others?  Me, I dream of houses that have a ridiculous amount of bedrooms, all clean and tidy and ready for guests.  What about you?

Dreams of water, death of a loved one, weird things happening to your body… It’s ALL in there!  Grab your copy of So, What Did You Dream Last Night?  and understand your dreams like never before!

The ex haunts all our dreams. There is no escaping it!! But take heart in knowing that these dreams are rarely about the ex at all.

I was on KZHT in Salt Lake the other day with Frankie, DB and Jessica when a “Mr. X” called in (that always means the dream is going to include sexual content!) and wanted to know why he was suddenly dreaming of his ex. His dream shows us that the sex-with-the-ex dream does NOT mean we are pining away for times gone by but rather is commenting on the here and now…

What about you? Have you been dreaming of your ex?

When you can understand your dreams, your life gets better because decisions are easier, tough situations are clearer and you’re just plain smarter when you dream! My book Cracking The Dream Code will help you learn your own dream language so you can get an edge in life.

Do you remember any of your dreams from childhood?  Usually the dreams we remember most are commenting on a pretty big issue that was going on at the time.

Yesterday I was on the air in Salt Lake City on KZHT when Erica called in with a dream she’d been wondering about since childhood…

Even after all these years, being able to understand that dream from long ago will be helpful to Erica because the dream gives her perspective on what her childhood was really like and how she felt about the world around her.  It’s important to gain this insight because it is powerful knowledge that will help her deal with her family now as well as the family of her own she will one day create. She should never forget that scared girl in the closet because it will – hopefully – keep her aware that the environment she provides for her future children should feel like home, not a battlefield.

What childhood dreams do you remember? The one I remember most is of a giant Willy Wonka coming into my room to eat me after he had eaten my whole family!

Usually when we dream of babies it is a positive sign of new developements in our life, something that is full of potential if we give it the proper attention and focus. 

But when I was on KZHT in Salt Lake City the other morning, a young gal called in with a baby dream that seemed to point to an unwanted developement…
 

This dream is a clear message from Josie’s wiser self that her Mom is pushing her to take on far more than she is capable of.  She’s practically a baby herself! Now that she can see her situation from this perspective, let’s hope Josie puts her foot down with her Mom and takes her life back.  How do you think Josie should handle it?

I am always preaching that the most important rule to figuring out your dreams is to look at what happened and what was on your mind the day before the dream. That is usually a good way to figure out what the dream is commenting on.

Sometimes however, the dream may be commenting on something that is very deep-rooted, something that you may not consciously give thought to but that is always there, lingering just beneath the surface, waiting for your focus so it can be worked out.

Below is just such an example.  This is from when I was on the air on KZHT in Salt Lake City Monday with Frankie, DB and Jessica.
 

As you heard, deep-rooted issues are not as easy to pinpoint because they are about something the dreamer does not wish to face and deal with during the day.  Had we not had to move on to a commercial break, I would have been abke to dig even deeper for this caller and find out exactly what the issue is.  But more often than not, when our dreams tell us it’s time to face something, as Lorrie’s did, it is usually a call to action, a call to stop ignoring, to stop denying… to stop burying. This is why the ex is caressing and flirting with her in the dream. Her wiser inner mind wants to seduce her into dealing with this issue rather than continuing to ignore it… just as she was trying to ignore him in the dream.

The issue is very likely a similar anger Lorrie holds towards her ex and towards her sister, an anger she may not have ever dealt with in a healthy manner, that she may have pushed down, which is never a good idea because it will always resurface at some point, as it has in her dream!

Our dreams do not allow us to become complacent. For our own good, they will point out issues we need to deal with properly so we can continue to move forward in our life without any baggage or negativity weighing us down and holding us back.  Our dreams are the best friend we’ve got, who know exactly what is best for us and exactly how to do what needs to be done so we can live our best life!  Why let another powerful dream slip away? Grab yourself one or both of my dream books and get an edge in life others don’t have!
