Dreamography
Help us map the world of dreams
A deeper understanding of dream types and dream images
Your teeth are falling out. You’re being chased. A tsunami looms. You had a baby, but can’t remember where you left him. A beloved pet is injured.
The world of dreams is one of creativity and variety. The crocodile in your dream is not the same as the crocodile in your great-aunt’s dream. And yet, we do have similar types of dreams. Certain dream types and dream images recur for many people.
“Although symbolic meanings are highly personal, Jung also acknowledged “relatively fixed” symbols, because without them, the unconscious would lack the structure essential to meaning. The ocean’s depths signify the unconscious; animals represent qualities of instinctual energy; and the stars are associated with the divine, for they let us know that we are part of a great, glorious whole.”

How will Dreamography work?
Over the coming months, we will discuss particular types of dreams on the podcast. We’ll explore each type using the dreams sent in by you, our listeners and readers. Each month, we’ll also publish our analysis of each dream type, including highlights from the dreams you send us.
All YOU have to do is send us your dream. This month, we are requesting dreams about dogs. Whether your dream features your own cherished pet, a terrifying Cerberus-style beast, or a mysteriously wise talking dachshund, we want to know about it.
Everyone who submits a dream will have the chance to win a free copy of Dream Wise.
