Dr. Clare Johnson: Numinous Dream Magic

Zeitgeist with Zack Geist

Dr. Clare Johnson received her PhD in Lucid Dreaming and the Creative Process. She has been lucid dreaming for over 40 years since the age of 3. She is the past president of the International Association for the Study of Dreams, is a Yoga Teacher, Mother and an author of more books on lucid dreaming than any other author that I have been able to find.

Over the past 2 years I have been deeply committed to my lucid dream practice. Experiencing the Divine through real experiences, as real as waking life or even more real, has inspired me to dive deeper and deeper into accessing this numinous embodied presence. This eventually led me to discovering the work of Dr. Clare Johnson. Beginning to read her book almost a year ago, inspired lucid dreams 3 nights in a row, which at the time was a record for me. Since working with her through her books, in groups and personally, I have often told people that if I were to be trapped on a desert island, alone, with only one book, it would be her, "Llewellyn's Complete Book on Lucid Dreaming." I have discovered through her work an entirely different level of being that has transformed my life in both my waking state and in alternate states of consciousness. I'm not embellishing when I say that what she teaches is the closest thing to magic that I have witnessed.

In this episode we skip all the techniques and common questions regarding lucid dreaming and go deep. Within the first 6 minutes we are speaking about death and dying and through the rest of the dialogue we talk about the gift of nightmares, connecting with the Divine, healing ourselves and others and the great mystery that is this life and how through lucid dreaming we can be privy to insights that are completely closed to us in our waking physical reality.

May this inspire you to have lucid dreams and a more lucid live, what a gift it is.
