About The Dream Academy Online School

The Dream Academy is Jane Teresa Anderson’s online school for dream interpretation, dream alchemy, and professional dream therapy: a place where the skills, methodology, and transformative practices she has spent 34 years developing are available to anyone, anywhere in the world, at their own pace and in their own time.

Jane Teresa established The Dream Academy in 2017, bringing her courses online so that students who had previously trained with her in person, or who had discovered her work through her books, podcast, or media appearances, could access the full depth of her teaching from wherever they were in the world. Since then, students from more than 35 countries have studied here, from Australia to Iceland, Brazil to Vietnam, the USA to Japan.

The four courses at The Dream Academy form a complete pathway. You begin by learning to interpret your own dreams: any dream, accurately and meaningfully, in the context of your own unique life. You then learn dream alchemy: how to use the material of your dreams to shift unconscious limiting beliefs, remove blocks, and create real, lasting transformation. And if you are called to bring this work to others, the two professional Dream Therapy courses train you to use a client’s dream as a powerful therapeutic avenue toward healing and change, under Jane Teresa’s personal one-to-one mentorship by Zoom.

This is not a place for generic dream symbol lookups or one-size-fits-all interpretations. Every course reflects Jane Teresa’s core conviction: that your dream belongs to you, and that its meaning is found in the context of your life, your beliefs, and your unique inner world.

The courses are video-led, so you learn directly from Jane Teresa, face to face, and supported by downloadable notes, manuals, and charts. All courses are self-paced with lifetime access, and certificates are awarded on successful completion. The professional Dream Therapy courses include personal one-to-one mentoring sessions with Jane Teresa by Zoom.

Jane Teresa’s long experience with the media (television and radio), combined with her earlier training in teaching and education, has gifted her the skills to design courses and communicate and teach in an effective and fun way through videos as well as through the written word.

Jane Teresa Anderson BSc Hons has spent 34 years at the intersection of science and transformation, researching dreams and developing a methodology that has helped students and clients across the world understand their dreams and use them to change their lives.

She is the creator of dream alchemy: a practical, science-based process for using dream material to reprogram unconscious limiting beliefs, shift perspective, remove blocks, and create lasting, meaningful change. Dream alchemy is the heart of The Dream Academy, and the thread that runs through every course Jane Teresa teaches.

With an Honours degree in Zoology specialising in developmental neurobiology from the University of Glasgow, Jane Teresa’s approach to dreams has always been grounded in research and independent inquiry rather than mythology or generic symbolism. She has been consulting professionally as a dream analyst and dream therapist since 1992, and training students in dream therapy for more than two decades, first in person, then internationally, and since 2017 through The Dream Academy online.

She is the author of seven books on dreams and dreaming. She is published by Hachette, Little Brown, Random House, and HarperCollins, and is host of The Dream Show podcast, now in its 17th year with over 300 episodes. She is a frequent and accomplished media guest, with extensive television and radio experience across Australia and internationally, including more than 1,500 live radio Dream Talkback broadcasts.

When you study at The Dream Academy, you are learning directly from Jane Teresa: her research, her methodology, her lifetime of deep work with clients and students. Her courses are known not only for their depth and rigour, but for the warmth, clarity, and infectious curiosity she brings to every lesson.
