Dream Gates

Sometimes it is quite impossible to avoid sensing an intelligence – or multiple intelligences – at work in the riffs of synchronicity. Here’s another personal example, from a weekend workshop at a wilderness center in the Northeast.  In the morning discussions, two themes came up that stayed with me as I took a walk across…

One of the greatest services we can render the dying is to help them open to the gifts of their own dreams. Just as dreams rehearse us for challenges on the roads of life, they prepare us for the journey beyond death. Dreaming, we travel quite naturally beyond the body, into deeper dimensions of reality,…

Gretchen Duhaime JD is a teacher of Active Dreaming who works with lawyers. I was delighted when she told me that, because she is often asked about the value of our work, she has come up with a “bullet list” of the benefits of Active Dreaming that she has personally experienced. She has given me…
