You never know who’s listening to you, once you’ve been recorded. On a recent plane trip, when we had rolled up to the gate and passengers were reaching for their carry-ons, a woman three rows ahead turned to me and announced in a ringing voice, “You’re Robert Moss!”
Before I could ask how she knew me she added, “Your voice is the last thing I’ve heard in bed for the past three months. My husband is getting worried.”
I guessed the rest, before she told me. She had been listening to my audio series Dream Gates: A Journey into Active Dreaming (published by Sounds True and not to be confused with my book Dreamgates: Exploring the Worlds of Soul, Imagination and Life Beyond Death, which was written later and has additional content).
I was just sent a link to a YouTube clip with graphics I had not seen before. Against dramatic backdrops of deserts and historical crises, I saw my floating face and heard myself say:
?If we know that dreaming is a deeper dimension in reality, a real world, maybe more of a real world than ordinary life, rather than a fantasy world, then we can bring magic from that world in to this one , and we can re-enchant our lives.
From the old light blue bush shirt I’m wearing, and some of the content, my guess is that the YouTube clip, titled “We can bring magic”, is an excerpt from a long interview I recorded about eight years back for an otherwise forgettable documentary titled Carlos Castaneda: Enigma of a Sorcerer. They used a few minutes of me – talking about how there is no real boundary between the living and the dead in dreams – right after the opening credits, against an imported background of a cemetery. I wondered at the time what would happen to the remaining 2 hours of me they had in the can.
Anyway, I rather like what the fellow on YouTube has to say about how dreaming is real magic, the art of bringing something from a deeper world into this one. Here’s the link.
