I’m pleased to announce my next workshop at the Alignment Center Thursday August 19th. With the movie Inception just coming out, there has been an increased buzz about lucid dreaming. It’s exciting to know that so many people are interested in this subject. At the next workshop, I will show some more animations which will help illustrate some concepts of lucid dreaming. We will go deeper into the mystery of the dream and more importantly how we can become aware within it. The dream is a tool that has been used by cultures from across the world for as long as recorded history. It is obvious that this essential element of the human experience is no less important to us today then it was thousands of years ago.

As for the poster, the design was inspired by the art of the Huichol people of Mexico. They have beautiful yarn paintings and intricate bead work. Their use of color is almost childlike, but has an amazing luminous quality that I’ve seen in few other places. I have some friends who have a great project to make sure the Huichol community has clean water to drink. The organization is called Water for Huichols. You can view their crafts online and buy them and the money goes to help the cause. Visit them at http://www.ecozoicera.net/ Sweet dreams.

Here’s the latest animation from my Dream Signs series. More on the way. The nice one about this technique is that once you do it you’re already thinking about flying. Just a quick recap of a dream I had the other night. I was lucid and was just standing there looking at my hands. They wobbled and morphed before my eyes. I looked at the guy next to me and asked him if it was happening to him as well. It seemed like I was the only one that had it going on at the time. I hopped into the dog washing van from Dummer and Dummer as it drove by. I was in the van still perfectly lucid and I was wondering if there was anyone else in the van that was dreaming as well so I told them all that it was a dream. They didn’t seem impressed at all. So I decided to ask a question. “What is a dream?” A man appeared next to me and said quite simply, “Grammar.” It seemed so bizarre that I had to ask him to repeat himself. “Grammar,” he replied again. “It is the grammar of the soul.” I didn’t understand it intellectually after he said it. Sometimes things are so deep and yet so simple in dreams that I have a hard time understanding the meaning behind it as its happening. I simply made a point to remember the man’s answer and went on with my dream.
I’m still mulling the whole thing over. Maybe I’ll see him again and ask him to elaborate a little. Maybe you have an idea. Sweet dreams.
