Revenge of Imagination and the Queen of Analepsis
The Bolshevik revolution and the rise of the
totalitarian state drove dreams in Russia underground. The safe
places to write about dreams – or from them – were now to be
found in state-sponsored studies of folklore and folk art, and
in science fiction, which can put the reader inside a dream
without a frame. What happens when the imagination is driven
underground? A Russian-American writer, Olga Grushin,
brilliantly depicts the revolt of the imagination in her novel The
Dream Life of Sukhanov. The protagonist is a promising
Surrealist painter who buries his art in order to get a fat
paycheck and a big apartment and a chauffeured car as an art
bureaucrat. His suppressed imagination comes after him, spawning
dreamlike anomalies in his everyday world, until that world –
and the false values it instilled in him – falls apart.

Dreaming as a Survival Tool in Iroquois Tradition
 Long
before the first Europeans arrived, the People of the Longhouse,
or Iroquois, taught their children that dreams are the single
most important source of both practical and spiritual guidance.
The first business of the day in an Iroquois village was
dream-sharing, as dreams were messages from the spirits, and the
deeper self, and might contain guidance for the community as
well as the individual. The early Iroquois believed that in
dreams, we routinely travel beyond the body and the limits of
time and space, can visit the future or the past, and may enter
the realms of the departed and of spiritual teachers on higher
levels. The ancient teaching of the Iroquois people is that
dreams also reveal the wishes of the soul, calling us to move
beyond our ego agendas and the web of other people’s projections
into a deeper, more spirited life. In dreams we also discover
where our vital soul energy may have gone missing–through pain
or trauma or heartbreak–and how to get it back.

DREAMING THE SOUL BACK HOME
In this extraordinary book, shamanic dream teacher
Robert Moss teaches us how to become shamans of our own souls and
healers of our own lives. The essence of the shaman’s power to
travel and to heal is the ability to dream strong. We stand at the
edge of such power when we dream and remember to do something with
our dreams. Shamans understand that in the course of any life we
are liable to suffer soul loss, loss of vital energy and identity.
To be whole and well, we must find the means of soul recovery. Our
dreams give us maps we can use to travel to where energy that was
lost or stolen can be found and brought home.

ACTIVE DREAMING: Journeying Beyond Self-Limitation to a Life of Wild
Freedom
Active Dreaming is
an original synthesis of contemporary dreamwork and shamanic methods
of journeying and healing. 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 “big story” is
stalking us, and if we don’t embrace that story, others will impose
their own stories, little stories and “small” identities, on us. The
techniques in this book are time-tested and playful; they will help
you expand notions of what it means to “dream” and how to tap into
the powers dormant within each of us.
 Revised
Second Edition
DREAMGATES
The time is always Now, except when the time is GO. The revised second edition of
Dreamgates: Exploring the Worlds of Soul, Imagination and Life Beyond
Death is now available from New World Library. This extraordinary book is an invitation to become a
full citizen of the multiverse and to remember and live your life's bigger
story. Check the Calendar listings for related workshops and bookstore
events.

What is Active Dreaming?
Active
Dreaming? The phrase is a
provocation, designed to
shake us free from the
assumption that dreaming is
a passive activity...
Active Dreaming is a way of
being fully of this world
while maintaining constant
contact with another world,
the world-behind-the-world,
where the deeper logic and
purpose of our lives are to
be found. Active Dreaming is
a discipline, as is yoga or
archeology or particle
physics. This is to say that
there are ascending levels
of practice. In any field,
the key to mastery is always
the same: practice,
practice, practice. [More]
ACTIVE DREAM GROUPS AS MODELS FOR A NEW COMMUNITY
Active Dreaming groups are intentional communities in which each
member receives the gift of deep listening, the change to play
leader or teacher, and the opportunity to tell their life stories
and re-vision those stories.
