Here’s what happens to your life when you make room for extraordinary dreams

Hi Reader Today's the last chance to get 25% off enrollment in my course Extraordinary Dreams -- my annual training on working with the insights of big dreams, including precognitive dreams, mystical lucid dreams and visitations. Extraordinary dreams rattles the cage of our comfort zones. They shake up the Cosmos as we see it by definition. What’s more, their transformative effects on our lives are palpable. The research on this point is clear; I could load you down with peer reviewed citations on this point. By making room for the extraordinary, we develop our capacity to feel AWE. We develop empathy. Visitation dreams, even if taken as “imaginary”, still have therapeutic value for grieving processes. Out of Body Expereices bring about lasting feelings of inner peace, as well as decreasing the fear of death and acting as a motivational power up. And even for the most challenging Big Dream experiences, we free ourselves from fear and are awarded courage that invigorates our waking lives. The best part: we can clear the path so these experiences come to us more often. By implementing the skills this next month, we will learn how to invite the extraordinary to walk with us. We can find fulfillment, purpose and new directions for our spiritual lives (no matter what you believe…. My approach here is necessarily interfaith, welcoming to humanists, atheists as well as those with perspectives from the major faith paths). Join me for the next month and let’s look into the research, lore and personal stories that make up the spirituality of the night. Save 25% on enrollment by signing up before midnight tonight!

Hi Reader! How’s your dream life? Lately, I’ve been noticing how simple habits are critical to my dreaming. For example, if I start the week off recording my dreams Monday morning, then I’m much more likely to do the same on Tuesday too. By Thursday, I'm enjoying a full back-and-forth conversation between waking life and my intuitive self, and by Saturday, a big lucid dream when I sleep in. So much of this creative flow depends on how my Monday morning goes. One disruption in routine, like...
This morning, I woke up from a dream and then closed my eyes. I felt the energetic rumbles take hold and "I" slipped through the mattress into a cool dark space. I was immersed in unseen water, and I felt the waters healing me. Relaxing into it, I then felt like I was drawn by a current of water, like drifting down a river. I woke up to the sound of morning world (honking horns) and despite my annoyance of the wake up -- I felt absolutely refreshed. Ok, time to get to kids to school. This is...
Hi Reader, How's your dreamlife? I was a guest on Coast to Coast radio last week, talking about sleep paralysis night-mares and visionary hypnagogia. The phones really lit up. Even after an hour of taking callers, we barely dented the requests and George Noory had to apologize to listeners that we were out of time. I heard some incredible first-hand accounts. I was blown away with how many people have had this experience -- and how many are just at a complete loss of how to interpret what...
