The Art of Dream Interpretation
In the new, very Hockney-esque, issue of Breathe Magazine I have written an article on everything you need to know about dream interpretation through the ages and how to get started interpreting your own dreams. From the history of dream interpretation, the psychology, dream interpretation in literature, to the most common themes in dreams (fire, falling, dying etc.) and what they mean, and a ‘beginners guide’ to interpreting your own dreams. Available to buy here.
The Magic of Trees
Well, you heard it here first, or maybe you read a science paper that told you first: tree hugging is good for you. Fact. In this article for Breathe I tell you why and I pick the best forests with some of the finest trees to hug.
I’m also happy to divulge that during a recent low point in my life, having written this article a couple of months previously, beneath the moon I hugged a tree in an olive grove. Yes, initially I felt stupid, and during, and afterwards. But it did make me feel better.
