Over at the Jung forum at reddit, where I'm a moderator, we get a lot of questions about it. So I wrote my explanation and made it as easy to understand as possible.

Podcast Heaven
I had the pleasure of appearing on two podcasts recently, both featuring phenomenal hosts who asked great questions and offered awesome suggestions. Best of all, they make me sound like I know what I'm talking about. Haha!
Charm the Water - The host, Aaron, asks a simple question - my most memorable dream - and it opens a can of worms about a recurring dream that haunted me from childhood and led me to a shaman to resolve it. Then we interpret dreams from his listeners.
See You on the Other Side - The host, Mike, probes my system of understanding dreams and leads me to discuss a wide variety of dream symbolism.
