Question: When I see a person in a dream, how can I distinguish whether it’s really him (his subconscious, higher self or whatever) or a figment of my own imagination? Is there a reliable way?
Answer: Most of the characters in your dreams are going to be constructs of your own subconscious mind. There will be [...]
When you meditate do you find your mind wandering so much that you lose the meditative connection you’re trying to build? Do your thoughts run something like this: What should I make for dinner? I wonder if Joey forgot his lunchbox. Don’t forget to pay the electric bill today. Oh where was I? Right, I [...]
Question: My husband keeps dreaming that he’s going to die. The dreams are the same and quite detailed. Does this mean it’s going to happen? He’s seriously freaked out.
Answer: No it doesn’t mean he’s going to die. If dreaming about future death was a sure sign of impending doom I’d have been dead at 16, [...]
Question: Supposedly when you lucid dream you can be or create whatever you want. Is it limited to what you already know, or can you learn new things? I mean we can’t fly but we know if we move our ‘wings’ we will fly. But say I know nothing about the Japanese language and in [...]
Last year, to clear my Ask Erin inbox, I decided to post a bunch of quick answers to quick questions. I’m going to do that again. These are questions I can answer easily but don’t really warrant their own blog entry. I figure a quick answer now is better than a long answer never. So [...]
Although I’m an advanced lucid dreamer, able to program and create a dream I want to have ahead of time, even I am amazed and intrigued by what’s been happening to me lately.
I’ve had some crazy dreams in the past. For example, one time I dreamed I was Eddie Murphy’s penis. Yep, you read that [...]
I get a lot of emails from people who have had strong, powerful, clear dreams that something disastrous is coming. Some dream that their deceased relative tells them someone in the family is going to die. Some dream of world disasters like hurricanes or earthquakes. Some dream something pleasant like a future wedding to the [...]
Well it’s been a while since I recorded a podcast, but today Steve and I recorded a 96 minute podcast together where we discuss psychic abilities, being psychic, and some of my experiences as I developed into a professional psychic. We had a lot of fun using a very unscripted, conversational style that I think [...]
People often ask me if it’s possible to share a dream with someone else. I have had several experiences where I had the same dream as someone else, but when I really thought about it I realized that all of them had a supernatural or paranormal element to them. So I started to wonder if [...]
Do you own a dream encyclopedia or a dream dictionary? Throw it out! I’m serious. Using a dream dictionary to try to interpret your dreams is like reading the Sunday horoscope in your newspaper. Are we really supposed to believe that all Aries on the planet are going to have friendship conflicts on the same [...]
