Shamana Dream Work: Articles & Presentations

7/12/2014

I will explore in a series of articles, blog posts and and other media forms, the nature, purpose and principles of Shamana Dream Work. Shamana Dream Work has roots in Yogic-Shamanic sleep and dreaming practices, as well as East-West dream analysis and dream interpretation.

Shamana Dream Work is fused with East-West dream principles, including modern sleep research, lucid dreams, psi-dreams, mutual-dreams and ecology dreams. It integrates and synthesizes knowledge of meditation with the science of sleep and dreams within an integral perspective of our social evolution and personal transformation.

Advances in dream studies on lucidity and psi-dream phenomenon coincide with, or are the outcome of, the evolution of dream consciousness, riding on the open emergence of ancient knowledge and skills of dreaming. With expanding experiences and "powers of dreaming" comes the need and role of in-depth understanding of the “field of play” of dreams at all levels.

So, over the months we will explore the inner worlds of dreaming, ancient and modern dream-world views, the various “characters” or lives that can be met in dreaming, the forces at play, potentials, challenges, and great, emerging opportunities through dreaming.

Catching up!

After a long "sabbatical" - I will hopefully be back blogging on a more regular basis. I make no promises though, as there are many demands on most of us at this time.

I have deleted many blogs, trimming down to a small number, a handful, to start anew.

I hop to also share more stories on the crow, and some ancient stories, such as the immortal sage-crow, who mastered the breath to diminish sorrow, illness and death; the first, heavenly hound, and heavenly canine guardians of foreknowledge, intuition or keen senses to aid us and the heavens.

Such wisdom tradition knowledge appears important at this critical time and transition.

It is said in the spiritual and wisdom-mystical traditions that when things appear darkest, an even "greater" Light is available, working to conquer the darkness, transform it, and enlighten us.

We are called to be aware of it, to work with it, and within it.
