C2CAM - Criminal Profiling & Active Dreaming - Coast To Coast AM - YouTube (2hr 33mins) 58 views (1:17:00) Interviewer (George): Up next we're going to be talking about the secret history of dreaming, can people really hack-into your dreams to controll you? Leonardo De Caprio's new film Inception is just what we talk about on Coast to Coast, this has to do with an individual who hacks into peoples dreams. (1:17:27) Up next Robert Moss, his latest work, The Secret History of Dreaming. He also has Dream Gates. He's next on Coast to Coast AM. Well he's back Robert Moss pioneer of Active Dreaming an original synthesis of Shamanism and modern dream work. He was born in Australia. He survived 3 near-death experiences in childhood and he first learned the ways of traditional Dreaming People through his friendship with the Aboriginies. Robert also hosts The Way of the Dreamer which is a (?) program that leads to a lively on-line dream school. And here he is back on Coast to Coast. Hey Robert, how are you? (1:18:03) Robert Moss: Good to be with you George. Interviewer (George): I have a feeling our producer was dreaming of you because she just mentioned a few weeks ago "We've got to get him back on" and here you are. Robert Moss: Well she has excellent taste and judgment. You hire good people. Interviewer (George): Aye she is, super. This movie Inception I think is going to be a block buster and will get a lot of people interested in dreams, something you've been looking at for a long, long time. Robert Moss: Right. Interviewer (George): What do you think, do you think it will? Robert Moss: Well yes, I think it gives us some really good talking points. It's created a buzz about dreaming. The buzz is not always alway clear or helpfull I must ad but it's got people talking about dreaming.

(1:18:44) Robert Moss: It would be a shame if people thought that Lucid dreaming, Shared dreaming, Active dreaming and all this good stuff is the perogative of the Dark-Side of the force, to be done by corperate hackers on drugs and with funny machines. The truth of the matter George is that Shared dreaming, a phrase they use in the movie, is an ancient technique. It is typical of Shamanic indiginous dreaming traditions I have studied. (1:19:06)

I’ve been teaching Shared Dreaming and group dreaming for positive and healing and helpful purposes for over 20 years now. When I use that phrase I don’t mean Leonardo De Caprio going inside someone’s brain to construct the mind-trap that’s going to make them do strange things. I mean people learning to embark on a conscious, intentional, dream journey together, starting out Lucid, staying hyper lucid, going to an agreed destination. Going to a place of healing, solving something, and bringing back gifts (1:19:37)

Robert also talked about, intrusion and people being able to manipulate their dreams and others! I was surprised about this because i didn't know this can happen and here i am having such dreams like this and posting this in my DJs. People telling me there is no such thing as intrusion and it's only your subconscious doing it. Man! I am way ahead of myself! I don't know where he said this but he said it in this video! He also said about the coyote "trickster" and that you can't trust this thing in your dreams! Here i am dreaming about being tricked many times!! But i am slowly getting used to it and now not much is now tricking me.

Robert Moss: I’ve been teaching Shared Dreaming and group dreaming for positive and healing and helpful purposes for over 20 years now. When I use that phrase I don’t mean Leonardo De Caprio going inside someone’s brain to construct the mind-trap that’s going to make them do strange things. I mean people learning to embark on a conscious, intentional, dream journey together, starting out Lucid, staying hyper lucid, going to an agreed destination. Going to a place of healing, solving something, and bringing back gifts. You see, that is the Truth of shared dreaming. And the film enables us to talk about these things but this is not (to put it mildly) what the film suggests and frankly, the dreamer who is used to the fantastically colourful and interesting dreamscapes available to us, I was bored to death with these falling sky-scrapers sterile sort-of vertical ice-box local that they came up with. Hey, if we’re going dreaming can’t we have a more interesting local than those vertical ice-boxes that they came up with? (1hr 20min 07secs) George (Interviewer) And we can use our dreams to enhance our love life, get a better job. Robert Moss: Yes! George (Interviewer) It’s a miraculous tool isn’t it? Robert Moss: Exactly, let me give you a quick example of the positive use of shared dreaming. So we can put some light on this subject. (1:20:22)

Robert Moss: There’s a lot of people running around saying lucid dreaming this, shared dreaming that. Let me give you a practical, simple account of how a couple in one of my workshops did shared dreaming together and produced fascinating results. Ok George (interviewer): All right. Robert Moss: The guy’s a senior executive in a corporation. He arrives with his wife. Unusual to get a couple together in a dreaming workshop, but here they were, great. He’s worried because he’s dreamed “He’s summoned to an emergency meeting at a house he does not recognize on the beach. He suspect’s (he does not know) he suspect that the house in the dream is his bosses second home on the beach, he’s not sure.” “He knows, in the dream, that his job’s on the line, he’s probably about to be fired and he’s worried.” So I say to him “George” his name is George too, “I would love you go back inside this dream, consciously. He say’s “How am I going to do that?” I say “I am going to use this GeeWhizz piece of primal technology, a simple framed drum, a Shaman’s drum. I’m going to beat on it very steadily and the drumming is going to help you get back inside the dream so you can figure out what the heck is going on and what you need to do to save your job.” And I say to him “George, I’d like you to take a partner with you in shared dreaming and go into the same dream space with you and get some practical results. He picks his wife. I’m not altogether thrilled that he’s picked his wife but I’m interested, and I’m not going to stop them. So now I’m drumming. (1:21:42) (…) Picture 20 or 40 people relaxed in easy-chairs or cushions or on the floor, journeying together on this kind of assignment. This George gets back into the house on the beach. He goes through the whole house. Finds out what the problem is at the office, something going on behind closed doors that he doesn’t other wise know about, His wife is there with him George, they’re together in a hyper-lucid dream, a shared dream, wide awake and conscious. When they come back from this journey they talk as if they have been on a real-estate tour. He’s a guy, he’s looked at the deck, he’s checked out aspects of the house that’s the den, the recreation room and things that appeal to the guy. She’s looked at the kitchen and the bathroom. (1:22:22) Between them they could have designed the house, they’d been there in that detail. The upshot is this George: Months later when the crises that he dreamed about six months ahead of time, erupteds at the office, George made the right move to save his job. So he’s sitting at the right side of the table when he’s summoned to an emergency meeting at the boss’ beach house. His job is safe, he’s there unfortunately to rule on other people who’ll be losing theirs. George (interviewer): Aw Robert Moss: The second thing accomplished George is, he doesn’t need to ask where the restroom is because he’s been there. George (interviewer): Haha he already knows. (1:22:55) Robert Moss: See that’s the kind of thing that people need to know. This is experiential stuff. I am a pragmatist. I’m not some new-age, mystic soap bubble. I’m a guy who comes from a very practical tradition. That is the ancient Palaeolithic tradition; I’m a Stone Age guy, not a new age guy. (1:23:12) I come from those dreamers that know that this stuff can save your job and save your life and going into shared dreaming isn’t about dark side corporate stuff and Pentagon plots. They might be going on I’m not saying that they’re not going on. George (interviewer): Right, right. Robert Moss: I’m saying that’s there’s a human, practical, life supporting aspect of all of this shared dreaming that unfortunately Hollywood directors have not been smart enough to give us, in films. (1:23:32)

George (interviewer): Way before you became a dream teacher Robert you have been a history professor, a foreign correspondent, an editor for a magazine, a best-selling novelist, how did you get interested in this? Robert Moss: Well this is my life story. This is where I come from. I can hear I talk funny. A boy from the bush I grew up in Australia. The native people of my native country, the Aborigines, they say, George, your personal dreams can take you into the Dreamtime. That the Dreamtime is not be confused with the personal subconscious that psychologists are always telling us about. The Dreamtime is the real world. It is the place which is at the origin of the events and situations that come about in our life. It’s the place where you meet the wise teachers and the ancestors who can show you what really matters. So the Aboriginal understanding is that through dreams (not just through sleep dreams) but through wide awake dreams, through listening to signs and synchronicities in the world around you, you can get into the Dreamtime. So by osmosis that’s part of my upbringing. (1:24:32)
