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 |

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...
It's dang cold here in Philadelphia. And it's also St Brigit's Eve, the day before the first day of mid-winter, as celebrated by my Irish and Scottish ancestors as Imbolc. There's an old story in Ireland that this is the time when the winter goddess the Cailleach gives her power over to Brigit and her warming ways. As the winter goddess, the Cailleach is a powerful being. She often is depicted as an old woman who lives in a small hut in the forest. Sometimes she is depicted in terrifying...
