ACTIVE DREAMING: the Essential Workshop

ACTIVE DREAMING: The Essential Workshop

Dreaming isn’t just what happens during sleep; dreaming is waking up to sources of guidance, healing and creativity beyond the reach of the everyday mind. Our lives become richer and juicier when we learn to become active dreamers. In this two-day adventure, we’ll learn the core techniques of Active Dreaming, an original method pioneered by Robert Moss.

First, we’ll play the Lightning Dreamwork Game, a fast and fun way to share inner experiences, get helpful feedback and guidance for action. It’s a great inner workout, and when you play it with friends or family or workmates, you’ll find you are deepening and energizing your relationships. By simply playing the game, you’ll find you can recognize and work with diagnostic and precognitive elements in dreams, and harvest personal imagery for healing and creative projects.

Second we’ll master the arts of conscious dream travel. This goes far beyond what “lucid dreaming” is commonly thought to be. We learn to start out lucid and stay lucid. Using shamanic techniques for shifting consciousness, we embark on intentional journeys – often with partners or a whole group – on agreed itineraries, which might take us on a mission to scout out the possible future, or explore an alternate reality or a location in the imaginal realm, or through the doorway of a previous dream or vision.

Third, we’ll play wonderful games of coincidence and imagination. We’ll find that the world around us will speak to us in the manner of dreams if we will only pay attention. We’ll learn how to harvest personal imagery for healing, and how to grow a vision so deep and strong that it wants to take root in the world. We’ll discover that “the passions of the soul work magic”, and that we do better in every way when we remember and act from that precept.
