The Poetry of the Night
Listen now
Description
Our ancestors invested great importance in the power of dreams. Across traditional, indigenous and pre-industrialised cultures – including the Ancient Greeks and Egyptians – they were an integral part of the healing process and a tool for divination. So why do most of us give so little consideration to them now? What is hypnagogia? What techniques can help us lucid dream? What might precognitive dreams tell us about the nature of time? This episode dives into the poetic realms of dreams and even offers insomnia sufferers fresh advice on how to get a better night’s kip.  With guests Sarah Janes, Gary Lachman, Philip Carr-Gomm and Kate Alderton.  https://themysteries.org/ https://www.gary-lachman.com/ https://philipcarr-gomm.com/ https://dreamfishingsociety.com/
