Dream Gates

When I am asked, “What can I take to improve my dream recall?”, my reflex answer, for years, has been: “Eat more bananas!” I am no expert on dietary supplements, and when I first came up with this suggestion,  I was making a joke. My humor was inspired by an appearance on the Faith Middleton…

Dreaming is healing. Our bodies speak to us in dreams, giving us early warning of symptoms we might develop, showing us what they need to stay well. Dreams give us fresh and powerful images for self-healing. Dreams are also the language of the soul; they put us in touch with wells of memory and sources…

Good luck with those New Years resolutions, if you made them. As we enter the new year, what matters is not what we said we would do, but how we live and how we act. May I suggest an aim for the year ahead that is not another of those maybe-I-will, maybe-I-won’t night-before resolutions, but…

Full moon in Cancer (my birth sign) tonight. Good time to recall the connection between the moon and dreaming. We notice the lunar ebb and flow in the cycles of our body and blood, in our mood swings, and also – when we pay attention – in our dreams. There are obvious physical forces at…

Thank you, O Creator, that we have risen this day to the rising of this life. May it be a day of blessing. O Creator of all gifts may a day of new beginnings be our gift this day. As the mist scatters from the crest of the hills, may any ill haze clear from…

Until recently, I was not an enthusiast for the term “lucid dreaming”, because it came to be associated with silly notions of “controlling” or “manipulating” dreams. Through dreaming, we have access to a source that is infinitely wiser and deeper than the everyday ego, and we want to be available to that source. I am…

It’s become popular to say that it takes 10,000 hours of practice to get really good at anything. If this is so, dreamers have a distinct advantage, since we can practice while others merely sleep, and can practice again, during the day, by tracking the dreamlike symbols of the world around us while others simply…

The gateways you discover in night dreams and twilight states are the best, safest and most timely starting points for conscious dream journeys, including shamanic soul-flight. With practice, you will find you can have wonderful adventures riding that dream elevator, exploring that dream house (or dream city), or stepping through the hole in the wall or…
