    Series 1, Episode 9: Revisiting your dream - The Waking Dream Process with Dr Nigel Hamilton

    enJune 15, 2023

    About this Episode

    Dave and Laura invite their old teacher Dr Nigel Hamilton back on board to talk about his Waking Dream Process, a therapeutic method for re-imagining a dream and revisiting it as a visualisation. It is used to expand, deepen and embody the experience of the dream and get to its essence. 

    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. 

    Dr Nigel Hamilton  

    In this episode, Nigel talks about dreams as a journey, not just a narrative. He tells us how we can track consciousness travelling through the body during sleep, and why it is important to connect images to sensations and locate them in the body, and how this releases the transformative power of dreams.

    He shares images of transformation from his work as a therapist using the Waking Dream Process, including decapitation (as a good thing!) and an emerald green scarab beetle that represents the way out of a nightmare. He also talks about some of his own profound dream experiences that shaped his view of dreams and his development of the Waking Dream Process.

    For "Dream of the Week", Laura brings a client’s dream about meeting a childhood friend in a fairground. The crew discuss how they would use the Waking Dream Process with this dream

    Recent Episodes from The Dream Boat

    Series 3, Episode 8 – A mother's recurring anxiety dream in the Dream Lab

    Series 3, Episode 8 – A mother's recurring anxiety dream in the Dream Lab

    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.

    Series 3, Episode 6: Death is But a Dream with Dr Christopher Kerr

    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.

    -- Your dreams are significant and unique, 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. --

    Series 3, Episode 5: Befriend Your Nightmares, Befriend your Dreams - with Dr. Leslie Ellis

    Series 3, Episode 5: Befriend Your Nightmares, Befriend your Dreams - with Dr. Leslie Ellis

    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.

    Series 3, Episode 4 – Jungian Dreamwork with Roderick Peters

    Series 3, Episode 4 – Jungian Dreamwork with Roderick Peters

    “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.

    Series 3, Episode 3: Am I dreaming or am I awake? The Lucid Talisman with Ryan Hurd

    Series 3, Episode 3: Am I dreaming or am I awake? The Lucid Talisman with Ryan Hurd

    “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.

    Dream Boat Recurring - S1 E3, Symbols in Dreams with Dr Nigel Hamilton

    Dream Boat Recurring - S1 E3, Symbols in Dreams with Dr Nigel Hamilton

    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!

    Series 3, Episode 2: Melinda Powell - Living Creatively Through Lucid Dreaming

    Series 3, Episode 2: Melinda Powell - Living Creatively Through Lucid Dreaming

    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."

    Series 3, Episode 1: Turning Nightmares into Post-Traumatic Spiritual Growth with Linda Yael Schiller

    Series 3, Episode 1: Turning Nightmares into Post-Traumatic Spiritual Growth with Linda Yael Schiller

    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!

    Series 2, Episode 10: More of your dream questions answered!

    **TRIGGER WARNING** This episode contains references to sexual assault and sexual abuse.

    It’s the end of the second series already! It’s our twentieth episode and time to answer some more of your questions (and in one case, have a second go at a previous question).

    In this episode:

    • I think I’m having nightmares but I don’t remember them.
    • Can people with aphantasia (who don’t see mental images) dream, and work with their dreams?
    • My dreams are often set in places from my childhood. Is this common and what does it mean?

    And Dave puts a question (about dreams of labyrinths) from an unusual source to Laura, which opens up a conversation about some of the subjects we’re going to be looking at in Series 3 and beyond!

    Series 2, Episode 9: Dream Lab is back!

    Series 2, Episode 9: Dream Lab is back!

    ...By popular demand!

    As Dave and Laura come towards the end of the second series, they consider two listeners’ dreams through the lenses of different interpretations.

    Trainee psychotherapist Kit presents her fascinating maid of honour dream, in which the most beautiful silk dress she is going to wear to the wedding of a childhood friend is stolen and worn by her father. How dare he!

    Dave and Laura explore the wonderful imagery of the operation of Union, the Royal Wedding, or coniunctio, through the lenses of Jung, Freud, and the DRI’s Waking Dream technique.

    We journey through gorgeous conch shells, royal blue velvet cushions in an Uber and dingy basement bars, to look at the delicate balance between masculine and feminine energy and what this means for dreamer Kit.

    Then Ayurvedic doctor and osteopath Angela joins the Dream Lab to present her magnificent seven-foot Australian shaman dream. Dave and Laura accompany her on her dreamtime spiritual sojourn as the dreamer returns to the family home to meet her real-life friend and mystic teacher before she encounters a beautiful indigenous Australian hunter in the attic. She then returns to eat clams, another powerful spiritual image of pilgrimage for the dreamer, with her sister.

    Dave and Laura look through the various lenses: Jung, alchemy, the elements and the amazing Waking Dream Technique to unearth interpretations. What would it be like for the dreamer to become the hunter?

    And what happens when she eats the clams?

    But as the lenses turn Dave rightly reminds us at the end of Dream Lab that despite these interpretative explorations the dream always belongs to the dreamer.

    Enjoy!
