      Anyone practice Lucid Dream Shamanism?

      I'm reading a book by Robert Moss called Dreaming the Soul Back Home. It's basically about soul recovery. In it he says you need three things for dream reentry. A doorway: I have chosen an old nightmare. 2: Intention. I'm going to try to find out who the figure was that scared me, and protect myself from the figure if I have to, and help my younger self be free of fear if I can. 3: Fuel for the journey. I'm going to listen to a song that reminds me of travel or something or maybe listen to shaman drumming if I can find any. The last part seems kinda strange. I think I may not need it but I'll try the authors suggestion. Any of you practice something like this?

      I read a couple of Robert Moss's books years ago. At the time I was just beginning to learn lucid dreaming so I suppose a lot of what he talks about was over my head. It at least made me very curious about dreaming. It did turn me on to trance drumming for a while. I remember having some intense and surprising WILDs and daydreams while listening to trance drums.

      Cool sisyphus thanks. I found some shaman drumming online. I didn't get to do as I intended to last night. It just didn't happen, but I did wake up from a (semi?) lucid dream, well a dream anyway this morning.

      Doors are excellent tools for dream world exploration. Barriers in general are great portals to other places. Learning variety in lds leads to greater understanding. Shamanic or not, the dream practice is a journey for everyone.

      I think Robert Moss's work and dream shamanism is analogous to what we now call schemas. In order to construct the journey, we need familiar ideas, places, objects, and lore to "paint the scenery" if you will. This allows one to trigger emotions, explore emotions, accomplish feats of control, etc, etc, etc. So shamanism is unscientific by common standards, but it's based on real underlying qualities of our mental processes.

      Lucid exploration is shamanic practice, I think.

      Also, Sysiphus (curious name, BTW!), I doubt Robert Moss was ever over your head -- he tends to take the obvious and turn it into prose that sounds mystically advanced, but really is just what we were thinking all along. That isn't a bad thing at all -- it's a great teaching method in fact -- but it isn't over anyone's head.
