Your dream questions... answered.
It's the end of Series 4, and before we take a little break, we take the opportunity to answer more of the questions sent in. Questions like:
What does it mean when I hear music in a dream?And (the classic):
Why do I keep dreaming about my ex?As ever, the answers lead us down some suprising, interesting, and sometimes amusing paths.
Sound bites:
"Music is a way of relating to those subtle aspects of ourselves that don't have to go through the cognitive filter."
"Dreaming about an ex may indicate unfinished business, projection of certain qualities onto the ex, or a need to revisit and resolve emotions associated with the past relationship."
Your dreams are worth inquiring about too! Share a dream or a question via our website driccpe.org.uk or the social links below!

Dave and Laura discuss the power of symbols in dreams and explore the ones they have found most meaningful, personally and professionally.
Ultimately, the meaning of a symbol depends on the individual. They explore the idea of a private, internal language of symbols in dreams and the importance of understanding recurring symbols. They also discuss the concept of archetypes, symbols that transcend personal experience and become shared images within a global consciousness. Dave and Laura share their own favourite symbols and discuss the significance of landscapes, mountains, water, fire, and the elements in dreams.
Your dream images and symbols are worth sharing too! Share a dream via our website driccpe.org.uk or the social links below!

Dr Deirdre Barrett is a pioneer on the frontier of dreams and technology. This week, we bring you Laura’s interview with this Harvard psychologist, dream researcher, clinician and artist who has been pushing the bounds of new technology to increase our understanding of dreams and ask deeper questions about what generative AI tells us about dreams when it generates its own versions of novel dream reports. Can you tell the difference between an AI’s dream and a human’s?
Deirdre Barrett, Ph.D. is a psychologist on the faculty of Harvard where she teaches courses on dreams to undergraduates, psychiatry residents & psychology interns, and lectures on hypnosis. She is President of the International Association for the Study of Dreams. She has written five books including Pandemic Dreams and The Committee of Sleep, She is Editor-in-Chief of the international academic journal, Dreaming. Dr. Barrett has published dozens of academic articles and chapters on dreams, hypnosis, sleep talking, and evolutionary psychology. Her current work focuses on dreams and creativity.
Laura interviewed Dr. Barrett at the annual conference of the International Association for the Study of Dreams in Kerkrade in the Netherlands.
For the Dream of the Week, Dr. Barrett and Laura discuss a dream that inspired one of her works of dream art, in which owls swoop down onto a woman’s head.

Talk about your dreams?? 😱😬😧
…But what if there was a place where you could explore your dreams with like-minded people? Lots of people find dream groups to be a supportive environment to expand their understanding of their dreams and themselves.
This week on the Dream Boat, Laura and Dave discuss the benefits and experiences of dream groups, exploring the process, symbolism, and healing aspects of sharing dreams in a group setting. The conversation delves into what it’s like to be in a dream groups, different ways of exploring dreams in a group setting, lucid dreaming, and the potential for forming dream clubs.
For the Dream of the Week, Dave and Laura also analyse a (slightly scary) submitted dream, highlighting the themes of opposition, self-image, and the primal nature of the dreamer's experience.
Your dream themes are worth discussing too! Share a dream via our website driccpe.org.uk or the social links below!
Takeaways
Dream groups provide a space for individuals to share and explore their dreams in a supportive and facilitated environment. The process of sharing dreams in a group setting can lead to deep friendships, shared dream symbolism, and a heightened sense of empathy. Professional courses and peer groups offer different experiences but both have value.See driccp.org.uk for information about the short and long courses offered there.

Laura and Dave go head-to-head with an AI trained to interpret dreams. Who (or what) comes up with the most meaningful interpretations? You decide!
Elswhere is a dream journaling app that offers interpretations powered by a GPT (generative pre-trained transformer), otherwise known as a generative AI. Kelly Bulkeley and Sheldon Juncker have been instrumental in creating and training Elsewhere to interpret dreams, and they come aboard the Dream Boat to discuss the intersection of technology and dreaming, specifically the use of AI in dream interpretation.
The guests discuss the accuracy and insights provided by the AI interpretations, which draw on the work of Freud and Jung, among others.
In an extended “Dream of the Week” segment, Sheldon shares a dream for Dave and Laura to explore and interpret, and then the group hears what Elsewhere had to say about it.
What will the influence of AI be on dream interpretation, and are there potential benefits of using AI as a tool for self-reflection and understanding? Hopefully it's collaboration, not competition.
Kelly Bulkeley, Ph.D., is a dream researcher and author with a background in the psychology of religion. He is director of the Sleep and Dream Database (as discussed on episode 2 of this series of the Dream Boat), a Senior Editor of the APA journal Dreaming, and a former President of the International Association for the Study of Dreams.
Sheldon Juncker, B.Sc. is a software engineer who works in the fields of dream research, data analysis, and artificial intelligence, who in addition to his work with Dr Bulkeley on Elsewhere also helps to maintain the Sleep and Dream Database.

Dave and Laura explore techniques and practices to improve sleep and enhance dream recall. The conversation covers sleep tracking devices, the different stages of sleep, the importance of deep sleep, and the role of REM sleep in dreaming. Drawing on personal experiences with sleep as well as their therapy experience, they share tips for improving sleep hygiene, such as maintaining a regular sleep schedule and avoiding screens before bed. They also explore mindfulness practices and the use of dream journals to enhance dream recall.
Takeaways
Good sleep health is essential for improving dream recall and overall well-being. Understanding the different stages of sleep, including deep sleep and REM sleep, can help optimize sleep quality. Practicing good sleep hygiene, such as maintaining a regular sleep schedule and avoiding screens before bed, can improve sleep. Mindfulness practices, such as body scans and playing the day's film backwards, can help relax the mind and prepare for sleep. Keeping a dream journal and engaging in techniques to remember dreams can enhance dream recall and facilitate dream exploration.For the dream of the week, Laura reads a dream from a listener named Gordon, who experiences a profound sense of love for his daughter as he realizes he is coming to the end of his life. The dream mitigates the fear of dying through the overwhelming feeling of love. The conversation explores the connection between sleep, dreaming, and death, as well as the fear of death and its impact on sleep. Techniques for addressing death anxiety and finding meaning in life are discussed, emphasizing the importance of connection and love.

"Dreamers, big dreamers in particular really need to step forward today. It's more important than ever, I think, to bring dreaming into the world."
Dave and Laura interview Dr. Kelly Bulkeley about his book, The Spirituality of Dreaming: Unlocking the Wisdom of Our Sleeping Selves. They explore the idea that dreaming is not just about personal insight, but also about spiritual insight for ourselves, our communities, and the world.
Dr. Bulkeley emphasizes the transformative and dynamic nature of dreams and the potential for dreaming to bring about change and growth in our lives.
For the Dream of the Week, Kelly shares a dream that involves flying through a shopping mall with tv character Jeff Winger. The discussion explores the symbolism of Jeff Winger and the themes of growth, narcissism, relating to others and coming down to earth.

To celebrate World Lucid Dreaming Day (12 April), we’re replaying our interview with Robert Waggoner, a leading expert on lucid dreaming.
One of the world’s top lucid dreamers, Robert Waggoner, joins Dave and Laura for a fascinating journey into the often so-called “rare” dream state of lucid dreaming. But as Robert will show, it’s not that rare for some people, and you can try it too.
Author of Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self and Lucid Dreaming Plain and Simple (with Caroline McCready), Robert shares how he has had over a thousand lucid dreams since he discovered he could do it whilst at high school in the US on reading Carlos Castaneda's books about Don Juan.
We hear what he has learned from his lucid dreams, from tips on becoming lucid in a dream to answers to some of his questions about the nature of consciousness, which he started to explore once he got bored with flying and walking through walls in his dreams. It turns out there’s more to lucid dreaming than manipulating the dream reality, more than wish fulfilment, and certainly more than making yourself more productive.
We look at the history of research into lucid dreaming. What is lucid dreaming, according to Robert Robert’s own techniques and how to try this out for yourself. Lucid games of flying, walking through walls and having sex. How to stay lucid and not wake up. The impact of the film Inception on Lucid Dreaming Neuroscience studies on the state Robert’s own principles of Lucid Dreaming and its gateway to the deeper state of amazing spiritual experiences and being connected to a larger awareness.For the Dream of the Week, Robert also shares his lucid dream in which his mother-in-law returns from the land of the dead with an important message for him.

Dream Answers to Dream Questions! A 14-year-old boy who was curious about his dreams asked two questions before going to sleep: “Can you dream in colour or in black and white?” And, “Do you need light to dream?” Laurel and Hardy helped bring answers that night, and those answers were unequivocal, funny, and meaningful, and a few decades later Damien Moore has come on the podcast to talk about that experience and some of his other fascinating dreams.
Those familiar with The Dream Boat Podcast will know that in each series we have a “Dream Lab” episode in which we invite two dreamers to share a dream that we then discuss from different angles to see how it relates to the dreamer’s life and what kind of meaning can be found in it. We always enjoy talking about those dreams, and people seem to enjoy listening to them, so for Series 3, we’re expanding the format. In the last episode we heard about Yas’s recurring dream of losing her children on the train, and its resolution.
This week Damien’s dream sparks a conversation about colour and humour in dreams, lucid dreams (Damien has had many lucid dreams) and the nature of consciousness itself. Laura and Dave explore the images and symbols of Damien’s night-time world using Freudian, Jungian and other psychological and philosophical frameworks.
As ever, whatever ideas and interpretations may be discussed, the dream always belongs to the dreamer, and Damien is a thoughtful and wise guest who has reflected deeply on his dreams.
Your dreams are fascinating, too! Get in touch via the links below and tell us a dream you’d like to share.

Yas Floyer is a journalist and mother, and like any mother she worries about her kids (maybe with more reason that some people). So Yas brings the latest iteration of a long-recurring maternal anxiety dream into the Dream Lab to discuss it with Laura and Dave.
We always get lots of questions about recurring dreams and how they evolve over time, so this is an opportunity to talk about recurrence, anxiety dreams, and what allows us to eventually let them go.
Those familiar with The Dream Boat Podcast will know that in each series we have a “Dream Lab” episode in which we invite two dreamers to share a dream that we then discuss from different angles to see how it relates to the dreamer’s life and what kind of meaning can be found in it. We always enjoy talking about those dreams, and people seem to enjoy listening to them, so for Series 3, we’re expanding the format and spending this whole episode talking about Yas’s dream of losing her children on the train (and the more recent resolution of that gut-wrenching scenario). Our second dreamer, Damien, will be featured in the next episode.
In this episode, we discuss the literal interpretation of the dream, looking at the real-life trauma behind it, and the natural worries of a mother watching her kids grow towards independence. We also look at the symbolism of trains, treacherous descents, and the dramatization of separation anxiety, using Freudian, Jungian and other psychological frameworks to guide us.
As ever, whatever ideas and interpretations may be discussed, the dream always belongs to the dreamer, and Yas has plenty of insight of her own.

Who will you see as you approach the final exit?
Dreams and visions at the end of life are significant and unique, according to research done at Hospice and Palliative Care Buffalo, USA. These end-of-life experiences (ELE’S) include images and experiences of those we loved who have died before us, be they parents, partners or pets. They may also be opportunities to confront and release old trauma.
Dave had the opportunity for a short interview with Dr Christopher Kerr, CEO and Chief Medical Officer at the Hospice, physician, researcher and author of Death is But a Dream, the book based on his and his team’s research on end-of-life dreams and visions. This episode includes the interview, and Laura and Dave’s discussion of the interview and the implications of the research.

How can your nightmare be your friend?
Dr Leslie Ellis explains why nightmares might be shouting for your attention, showing what is unmetabolised in your psyche and maybe even telling you what is needed to help that process. “The antidote is often within the dream itself,” she says. She tells us about her embodied dreamwork method for “imagining the dream forward” to discover a new way through the dream, allowing it to complete in a way that doesn’t disturb your sleep.
As part of her mission to de-mystify nightmare treatment and dreamwork in general, Dr Ellis talks to us about her long experience in working with dreams and nightmares, including her doctoral research on treating the trauma-related dreams of refugees. And she shares her knowledge and enthusiasm for the Focusing work of Eugene Gendlin.
For the Dream of the Week, she shares a delightful dream of a red fox that may or may not be as tame as it appears.
-- Your dreams are delightful, too! If you have a dream you’d like us to discuss on the podcast, contact us through the DRI website driccpe.org.uk/contact or the social media links below. --
Dr Ellis is a leading expert in the use of experiential and somatic approaches in psychotherapy, in particular for working with dreams, nightmares and the effects of trauma. She is the author of A Clinician’s Guide to Dream Therapy (Routledge, 2020) and offers online training in embodied, experiential dreamwork and nightmare treatment. She has a PhD in Clinical Psychology with a somatic specialization, and a Masters in counselling psychology with a focus on depth/Jungian approaches. She worked as a therapist in private practice in Vancouver, BC for more than 25 years. She is a former adjunct faculty at Adler University, and past president of The International Focusing Institute, where she is currently a Certifying Coordinator.

“We are engines with millions of feedback loops… And dreams are a balancing process”
We are joined by well-known U.K. Jungian analyst Dr Roderick Peters who’s been working in the field of dreams for more than 40 years. We look at the Jungian perspective on dreaming and its symbolic world of archetypes, opposites and individual and collective consciousness.
Roderick recalls a powerful dream that he had when he was aged 3 or 4 about the nature of individuation and the separation of a child’s consciousness from that of its mother. This amazing dream has stayed with him all his life and set him on the path to studying his dreams on a daily basis since childhood.
He also talks about his career as a doctor working in a sleep lab before he decided to become a Jungian psychoanalyst.
Finally, Roderick joins in with offering interpretations for this episode’s Dream of the Week, sent in from a listener who goes to a dream theatre and meets a famous actress.
For Roderick as a Jungian, dreams are where we explore “the organs of our psyche through the archetypes.”
Dr Roderick Peters has written several books including Living With Dreams published by Andre Deutsch. He lectures and has written many interesting papers which can be found on his website. His has a therapeutic practice in London and Surrey and is a member of the British Psychoanalytic Council.

“Am I dreaming?” is the question you need to answer to become lucid in your dreams, and that question will also make you question what it really means to be awake.
In this episode, Dave and Laura speak with educator, author and dream researcher Ryan Hurd, who teaches graduate level courses at the University for Peace in Costa Rica and National University in California, and is the driving force behind dreamstudies.org, an essential resource for anyone interested in dreams in general and lucid dreaming in particular. Ryan is interested in consciousness studies at the intersections of ecology, spirituality and material culture. His latest work is Lucid talisman: Forgotten lore.
In an open, personal, and informative conversation, Ryan tells Dave and Laura about how he started out as an archaeologist but now searches for knowledge and treasure in the depths of consciousness as revealed through dreams. He shares some of his vast knowledge on lucid dreaming, including lucid dreaming induction (learning how to have more lucid dreams) and the use of totems and the lucid talisman. In the Dream of the Week, he shares a heart-warming dream in which he and his infant son find that his home’s basement has become a huge, church-like space.
With a background in both archaeology and dream research, Ryan currently teaches graduate level courses at University for Peace in Costa Rica and National University in California.
In this episode:

We're taking a little break this week, so here's a recurrance of an episode from April 2023: Series 1, Episode 3 - Symbols in Dreams with Dr Nigel Hamilton.
See you in the New Year!
___
The questions we most often get asked usually come down to “What does it mean if I dream about ____?” We all want to know more about what our dreams are saying to us and how to interpret them, and people have been compiling manuals on dream symbolism since the advent of the written word. Even today there are hundreds of books on the subject online. But should we be attached to specific meanings? Does a tooth or cat or a car come with some universal meaning attached that is the same for everyone?
In this episode, Laura and Dave welcome Dr Nigel Hamilton aboard the Dream Boat to talk about personal and universal symbols in dreams and how he works with them as a psychotherapist. Nigel is a highly experienced therapist, teacher, researcher and one of the world's leading pioneers in dream interpretation techniques. He is the founder of one the world's top Transpersonal Psychotherapy colleges, the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education in London, co-founder of the DRI Centre for Dream Studies and the former UK Representative of the Inayatiyya Sufi Order International. He has spent years studying and pioneering techniques for working with dream symbolism and his book Awakening Through Dreams: Journeys Through the Inner Landscape covers some of his fascinating discoveries. He teaches workshops and leads courses on spiritual approaches to psychotherapy at CCPE.
In this episode, Dr Hamilton discusses the symbolism of colours, symbols of transformation in the alchemical model, and how we can discern the personal from the universal.
For our “Dream of the Week” feature, Nigel shares three brief dreams which marked particular steps in his own process.

Beyond lucidity:
For experienced lucid dreamers, at least some of them, the ability to live out endless fantasies gets tired pretty quickly, and they start to use their lucid dreams to explore the nature of their minds, their dreams, consciousness, and existence itself. In this episode, Laura and Dave talk to someone who has done exactly that, and written about it, and who teaches people who want to do the same: Melinda Powell. They talk about how dreams have shaped and influenced Melinda’s life and work, and the powerful messages she has received in dreams, including the directive to teach and write about what she has learned from paying attention to her inner world.
Melinda is one of the Co-Founders of the DRI Centre for Dream Studies; she is a psychotherapist and teacher of dreamwork and the art of lucid dreaming, and is the author of two books about dreams, “The Hidden Lives of Dreams: What they can tell us and how they can change our World”, and “Lucid Surrender: the alchemy of the soul in lucid dreaming”. She has published and lectured widely about dreams and lucidity, and she is writing a new book called: "Dreams My Mother Taught Me: Lessons in Love, Light and Lucid Dreaming From Beyond the Grave."

What can you do when you wake up screaming, having revisited the harrowing scenes of a trauma which still haunts your nightmares? Linda Yael Schiller from Boston in the USA has developed the GAIA (Guided Active Imagination Approach) method to stop the endless cycle of nightmares for war trauma survivors and for anyone who suffers disturbing nightmares.
We have talked about parasomnias - the official term for a variety of disturbed sleep patterns – and nightmare treatment with other guests, and in this episode, Laura and Dave talk to Linda about her work with PTSD and dreams, and how GAIA brings together best-practice trauma treatment and Jungian active imagination to turn PTSD into PTSG: Post-Traumatic Spiritual Growth.
Linda’s method is systematic and clear, and has a lot in common with the Waking Dream Process, for those who know it or have listened to our episode about it. She takes Dave through the GAIA method in one of his dreams… listen to find out what they discover!
