In this episode of the Full of Words Podcast, Sue and CJ are joined by internationally renowned dream analyst, author, and podcast host Jane Teresa Anderson to explore the deeper meaning behind dreams and the language of the subconscious mind.

With over 30 years of experience, Jane explains how dreams provide insight into unconscious patterns, internal blocks, and untapped strengths. She introduces the concept of dream alchemy—a method of working with dream symbols through visualization, storytelling, and creative writing to bring about real, lasting change in waking life.

CJ shares a recurring dream involving missed flights and unpacked bags, prompting a live interpretation that reveals both personal insight and universal themes. Jane also discusses how language shapes the way the unconscious expresses itself and how simple shifts in wording can help reprogram limiting beliefs.

The conversation rounds out with a look at Jane’s latest creative endeavor: Ninth Life, a novel told entirely from the perspective of a spiritually ambitious cat. The project blends fiction, metaphysics, and a dash of humor—proof that the storytelling never stops, even in the dream world.
