Robert Moss shares a very special personal “Tree of Vision” Meditation. This is a perfect meditation to help you get guidance, clarity, grounding and focus. If you ever have big decisions, moments of anxiety, or need wisdom and understanding, this meditation is the perfect place to go.
SHOW DESCRIPTION:
Have you ever had a dream so real that it didn’t feel like a dream at all? Ever stranger still, did anything in that dream later come true? Or have you ever had a coincidence or multiple coincidences occur to you, maybe back to back, that left you with goosebumps, thinking to yourself how in the world is that possible?
If so, do we have a show for you!
In this episode, we speak with Robert Moss, a world-renowned expert in the field of active dreaming. He’s a former professor, a shaman, and an expert when it comes to signs and symbols, or the study of the “coincidences” we see in the world around us. And he’s the best-selling author of well over a dozen books including the recently released Sidewalk Oracles: Playing with Signs, Symbols, and Synchronicity in Everyday Life.
Today I want to dive into the “magic” and understand what dreams really have to offer, what active dreaming, and in a sense, how our awake world, is still a world of dreams. I think we’ve all experienced strange coincidences, and certainly deja-vu moments, I want to find out what they really mean, if they’re just coincidences, or if there’s a lot more here than meets the eye…and if so, how we can use these synchronicities to live a more magical and meaningful existence.

MORE ON ROBERT MOSS:
Robert Moss is the pioneer of Active Dreaming, an original synthesis of shamanism and modern dreamwork. Born in Australia, he survived three near-death experiences in childhood. He leads popular seminars all over the world, including a three-year training for teachers of Active Dreaming and lively online courses for The Shift Network. A former lecturer in ancient history at the Australian National University, he is a best-selling novelist, journalist and independent scholar.
Moss describes himself as “a dream teacher, on a path for which there has been no career track in our culture.” He identifies the great watershed in his adult life as a sequence of visionary events that unfolded in 1987-1988, after he decided to leave the world of big cities and the fast-track life of a popular novelist (already the author of four New York Times bestsellers, including Moscow Rules) and put down roots on a farm in the upper Hudson Valley of New York. Moss started dreaming in a language he did not know that proved to be an archaic form of the Mohawk language. Helped by native speakers to interpret his dreams, Moss came to believe that they had put him in touch with an ancient healer – a woman of power – and that they were calling him to a different life.
Out of these experiences he wrote a series of historical novels (The Firekeeper, Fire Along the Sky, The Interpreter) and developed the practice he calls Active Dreaming, an original synthesis of contemporary dreamwork and shamanic methods of journeying and healing. A central premise of Moss’s approach is that dreaming isn’t just what happens during sleep; dreaming is waking up to sources of guidance, healing and creativity beyond the reach of the everyday mind.He introduced his method to an international audience as an invited presenter at the conference of the Association for the Study of Dreams at the University of Leiden in 1994.
