Tricky Mind

Lately I’ve been getting a lot of questions about how this all got started, the vivid dreams, etc. I used to have the occasional flight dream and I always loved the experience. Then I got really into the idea of someday being able to fly while awake, sure it seems crazy, but why not reach [...]

Lucid Dreaming

Owls, owls, owls. That has been what has been going on this week for me. As I try to learn owl’s lessons, I have also been looking into what’s going on in Portland as far as shamanism goes. I found this quote from Paul Levy (from here, see also here):
“In the deeper sense, when [...]

Owly Times

Finished reading “Master of Lucid Dreams”, turned out to be quite an interesting read, food for thought, etc. Still processing the info. Had a couple dreams featuring owls.
Dream (first night my brother left to hike the top of the Grand Canyon): Running slowly (brother’s style) along the top of the Grand Canyon. It is fairly [...]

Awake/Asleep

I’ve been thinking more about the Seth ideas along with the Master of Lucid Dreams ideas. I asked my dreamer a while ago to analyze the waking dream and got a dream that was a sum of the overall quality of my waking life at that time. Starting to think of the dreamer [...]

Hummingbird

Last night hummingbird was flying super slow. I could see her colors, medium to dark blue to iridescent green on the edge, they were a little different than I expected, but I have never seen hummingbird in slow mo. I raised my forearm hoping she would land. I was a little shy about it, embarrassed [...]

The first nightmare free night, I spent the whole night on only a couple dreams, that I went in and [...]

Hot Air Balloon Misses, Slit Throats, Wolf…

Dream: Outside my old high school (Iowa City), supposed to meet people to go on a hot air balloon ride. Kind of like a school project, we have to figure everything [...]

Fox Tail Key

Been reading Woman in the Shaman’s Body, by Barbara Tedlock. Just getting started, but it mentions a study that was done comparing the success of shamans vs psychotherapists. The shamans having clients/patients somehow publicly perform their dreams (through song, poetry, etc) had an 80% rate of the condition healing, whereas the traditional psychotherapeutic methods had [...]

Death and Corruption

Dream: Working at a law office. It’s huge, everyone is corrupt to some extent. At some point everything starts falling apart. People start killing people (in the office, which is a several story high building), in order to eliminate the corrupt and/or unfavorable elements at the office. I try to avoid the heat [...]

Here, There and Everywhere

So, lots of stuff has gone down in the last couple of days. Mostly involving hurtling ourselves and all of our belongings across the country in a moving van, through blizzards, torrents of rain and gun crazy countrysides. It was very beautiful and I was very excited to meet some new birds: Golden eagles!!! [...]
