Dream Practice Sessions (2017 - 2018)

 

The basic idea for these sessions is to nurture one another's dream/sleep

practices. Although we will occasionally have sessions or times to share

personal dreams and offer insights, that will be more of a supplemental 

focus. 

 

Mostly, we'll begin with a dreamy topic, grounded in some of the literature, 

such as but not limited to Andrew Holocek's Dream Yoga book (see resource

page), plus personal questions or puzzles, and then learn together in a relaxed, 

open and curious way. 

These sessions started in the format of Kira workshops. We'll meet for several

weeks and then decided to continue open-endedly.  

 

Context

 

Some of us have found that when participating in other dream sessions over 

the years, we more easily remembered our dreams and were able to hear 

more clearly, not only in the sense of interpretations, but in sensibilities about 

daily life. We also may have slept better, due to paying attention to conditions 

before bed and after waking, plus learning from others about things like how 

they may handle periods of wakefulness at night (etc.). 

 

There are many schools of dream practice, some focused more on staying

'lucid' in dreams, some focused on gleaning insights, and some focused on 

deeper rest (in night and day)/clarity. We'll look at all these emphasis and
others. And we'll try to end each session in a quiet way, as if leading off to
sleep, even if for some of us that won't be for hours. :)
