Dream whispererby Syida Lizta Amirul Ihsan What's in a dream? SYIDA LIZTA AMIRUL IHSAN talks to a dream analyst to find out. But ask someone like Craig Sim Webb, who makes a living on analysing dreams, and you’ll get a different answer. After a near-death experience while whitewater rafting, Webb began recalling up to 10 dreams a day. It was then that he made dream analysis his calling. He took part in pioneer research on the subject at Stanford University and Montreal’s Sacre-Coeur Hospital, and has made numerous media, public, academic and corporate presentations on dreams, including nightmares and lucid dreaming, as well as on consciousness and practical psychology. He helps his clients explore, understand and work through their dreams and related life challenges. Webb also has a weekly radio show, Making Contact, airing on 200 international stations. |

explained. Below he analyses some celebrities’ dreams.
- Teeth flying out of her mouth while she’s talking — that is what actress Halle Berry has been dreaming for much of her life! Says Webb: “Losing teeth is a fairly common dream and it generally means letting go of things. It might signify that Halle is very stressed and needs to find ways to balance her busy schedule. It may also mean she sometimes uses strong language that she later regrets, or is grieving over the loss of a loved one. Again, it all boils down to letting go.” - Walking on clouds or falling softly and safely. That’s what actress Jennifer Love Hewitt dreams about. Says Webb: “Falling and flying is another very common cross-cultural dream theme. Initially the dreams are fearful, with the dreamer feeling out of control as they fall. In flying dreams, dreamers feel a great sense of freedom, lightness and joy. The main lesson here (like in nightmares) is to realise that we are actually safe in bed and need not succumb to the fear, waking up frightened or upset. Jennifer seems to have done this by transforming the potential fear of falling into the freedom of floating gently to the ground.” - Television host Xandria Ooi dreams of being in a conflict, and of being on the run, though she is not sure from whom. She just feels she needs to get away to a safe place. Says Webb: This sort of dream suggests you are disconnected from, and fearful of, some aspect of yourself. You don’t feel safe and naturally you run from it. The fight in the dream is symbolically unrest within, and between different parts of yourself, even though your subconscious may have chosen people you know to represent these opposing selves inside you. To be more specific about what or who you are running away from, more needs to be known about your friends and family. Usually, what this dream means is you don’t always stand up for yourself and your viewpoint, while not judging the other party. The dream is offering you an opportunity to summon greater courage and develop more confidence and assertiveness. - Model and television personality Daphne Iking says she dreams of past lovers meeting up with her husband, and of her getting acquainted with them all over again. There are also friends in the dream with whom she has a falling out, but ironically, supports her at the same time. The dreams occurred prior to her wedding and delivery of her first child. She meets up with old flames who were unkind during their courtship, but who are now strangely loving and supportive. Says Webb: Being pregnant and meeting past romantic partners are common elements in many dreams. Your dreams, which sound like they came in a series, seem to be offering an opportunity to help you make peace with the past, as well as to recognise the true love of your life — your husband. Many people dream of past romantic partners during a new relationship as reminders of what they felt like to be in love. The dreams came when you were having doubts about committing your life to your husband-to-be and to becoming a mother. The dreams are trying to show you how the love and various connections you had felt with others in the past are now all being directed towards your husband- and baby-to-be. Dreamy Scent “DREAMING is a very personal and intimate experience and I want to capture this with my new fragrance, Dreaming,” says Tommy Hilfiger. “When people dream, they transport themselves to a different realm in their lives,” he says. The fragrance he formulated for this experience uses white peach, tuberose and freesia to “tempt, invite and seduce”. “This is a new direction for Tommy,” says Aramis and Designer Fragrances worldwide corporate fragrance development vice president Trudi Loren. The fragrance is available at all Tommy Hilfiger counters. Prices start from RM80 for the rollerball/lip gloss duo to RM250 for the 100ml EDP spray.
