Welcome and thank you for listening to All Aboard The Dream Train. A dream storytelling podcast where people from all walks of life walk us through their dreams and how those dreams have affected them in their waking life.
This weeks guest is Altair Shyam. He's a write/author, teacher, father and dream worker. Dreams have been a vital part of his life since he was two years old. A particular recurring dream that plagued him for the better part of a year, having the same dream nearly every single night, consisted of crossing over a bridge with a partner towards a monastery area on the other side but the bridge would always end up collapsing, causing him to fall into a void of cosmic sound and bright light. Over and over again. Every. Single. Night. It made him incredibly curious about what this meant and why it was happening.
Can you imagine going through the same nightmare at age two? Or even worse, taking care of your child going through the same experience?
Right before Altair's mother passed she confessed that she kept a pivotal story from him about an elder that approached her in an orchard while doing her job. The elder read her palm and told her she would have 4 children which was true and continued with predicting that her oldest son would be a very mystical child and he would be very unusual and influential and would have a connection to a past life. The elder continued to talk about their futures at which point was too much for his mom and she screamed and ran off.
Altair's mother kept the story from him because she had a feeling he would run off and pursue being a monk but she did get him classes to learn Japanese when he was 4.
There's so much more in this episode! Altair shares some ideas and practices you can try on your own at home.
He's contributing to a book of stories that are similar to his that will be available November 19th called Chaos to Clarity by Rev. Patricia Cagganello and Kathleen O'Keefe Kanavos.
