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. In todays episode I am honored and thankful to get a chance to speak with the San Francisco-based writer and lecturer and the founder of the Oneironauticum, an international organization that explores the phenomenological experience of dreams as a means of experimenting with mind, Jennifer Dumpert. She has recently released the book Liminal Dreaming which covers the practice of exploring consciousness at the edges of sleep. Liminal Dreaming helps readers along step-by-step with surfing the edges of consciousness using hypnagogic and hypnopompic dream states. In this easy to follow piece Jennifer guides you towards integrating the deeply unusual half-waking dream states of hypnagogia and hypnopompia into their lives in personally meaningful ways. 6:00 Jennifer enjoys adding sound and scent to aid her sleep. 7:22 dream pillow burkmonsia flowers - datura don’t eat it!
