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! Keep dreaming, Ryan Hurd |

Hi Reader, If you are getting on the road for Thanksgiving like 82 million other Americans, you might appreciate this talk on how how harvest feasts invite big dreams.... especially grown-up slumber parties involving carb loading and alcohol. In fact, it's relevant for my friends across the pond too because we are entering into the harvest feast cycle that comes with the end of the year. These are often complicated holidays made more complicated by stress, travel and -- I'll just say it outl...
Hi Reader Ever had a dream that changed the way you see the world? A dream that refuses to be rationally debunked, put on a shelf and forgotten? A few years ago, I dreamed that I was in the attic of my house, and a pipe burst in the wall. The water was flowing out like a faucet. In the dream, I went downstairs to look for help, and on my way down, ran into my brother-in-law. That same morning, my brother-in-law (who at that time shared a house with my wife and I) told me over coffee he had...
Hi Reader Happy Halloween! The veil is thin, wafer thin. Seems like a good time to ask if you have ever slipped into the world between worlds, and had an out of body experience (OBE)? I mean where you shed your perceptual body either directly from waking, from sleep paralysis or in the middle of a lucid dream, and entered into a new uncanny place, or an ephemeral version of your current scene seen from above? These experiences are timeless, and cross-cultural. Talking to a friend recently who...
