“The dreaming body is that part of ourselves that is wild and uncontrollable, but houses our totality, or the rest of it, as well as our animal natures, knowledge without reason, seeing without sight - it is the part of us denied a place at the table since birth.” ~ Gary Mills Lorrie Adams will present an overview of the dreaming practices of the Maker shamanic tradition. Learn how Makers understand dreaming as an energy that one can learn to access and control. This will not be a discussion about how to have precognitive dreams, do dream interpretation or attain lucidity in dreaming. The focus of Maker dreaming practices goes deeper than these practices, although it could include them. The intent for Makers in dreaming is to ultimately move beyond the complex imagery of our dreaming minds and into the energy of dreaming itself. We will discuss how Makers seek to tear through the fabric of dreaming, which is made up of ones own reason, or rather the energy of our reason, in order to access what's behind that dreaming fabric.
