Jonathan Malory is the founder of meaningofdreams.info, which started as MaljonicsDreams.com in May 2003 – Maljonic is made from the Mal of Malory with the Jon from Jonathan and the ‘ic’ is a nod to his Slavic interests (‘ic’ means ‘son of’).
In 2008 Jonathan decided to rename Maljonicsdreams.com to open the site up to everyone and give it a less ‘about my dreams’ feel, calling it meaningofdreams.info instead. Also, Jonathan’s wife, Marcia Malory, started writing and contributing a great deal to the site and the name Maljonic’s Dreams simply was not applicable any more. However, Jonathan does still contribute to the forums under the alias of Maljonic for continuity’s sake.
Jonathan has experienced vivid dreams all his life, and always remembers what he was dreaming about the night before. In fact, Jonathan can recall dreams from years, and even decades ago.
Jonathan Malory began seriously studying dreams when he first attended Art College in 1991 and found himself to be particularly attracted to surrealist painters like Dali and Picasso, and the medieval painter Hieronymus Bosch. For over 20 years Jonathan has analyzed his own dreams and those of other people, applying skills learned through the study of Art, Psychology, Languages and Language Development and English and History at York College, York University and St John’s University and through his work in social care and counseling.
Jonathan Malory has also travelled to many countries around the world, including France, Belgium, Netherlands, Hungary, Italy, Spain, USA, China and Japan, to observe different cultures and discuss their attitudes to dreams and dreaming.
