Sleep & Deep Lucid Dreaming

Sleep is an essential part of the mystery of being alive! So much more than a break from "real life", sleep is actually a portal to the mysteries of consciousness. In this episode, Dr. Naiman and Dr. Clare Johnson explore the nature of sleep as a portal to the sublime, the Lucid Light and the healing immersion of bliss states. Dr. Naiman shares his wagon wheel theory of consciousness, sleep and dreams. He talks about the silent epidemic of dream loss, fatal misconceptions about insomnia, and the reason so many people experience loneliness. Dr. Johnson shares how we can change our loneliness by sharing dreams, which is tantamount to sharing a piece of our soul. They discuss consciousness, the healing power of dreams, and why sleep is finally receiving more of the attention it deserves as an essential pillar of human health.

This is a common question, and the answer can be summed up in one word: "no." Lucid dreaming is a natural phenomenon of consciousness and it is no more dangerous than non-lucid dreaming, which we all engage in naturally every night. Lucidity is simply awareness.

Her view is based on nearly 50 years of personal lucid dream practice as a prolific lucid dreamer; original and world-first PhD research into the topic of lucid dreaming as a creative tool; and her eight books, some of which involved assessing reports of lucid dreamers from around the globe.
