In 2003 the book was published in the hard band issue, now therefore follows the affordable edition. A dream theory of shamanism, as the title might suggest, there is not. Thus consisting mainly the book, as the author points out Carlo Zumstein, on his own experiences with dreams and those of his colleagues and clients.
What leads us to the various activities of the author.
Mr. Carlo Zumstein is a PhD at the University of Zurich psychologist who worked after graduation in the field of addiction therapy. In addition to training in various psychotherapeutic methods, including clinical Hypnosis and NLP, he has been working closely with the 70 years of shamanic healing. He is a faculty member, founded by the anthropologist Michael Harner Foundation for Shamanic Studies (FSS), author of several books on healing / healing rituals, and now also head of the self-creation Foundation for Living Shamanism and Spirituality (FLSS). It recognizes the FLSS to the seminars of the FSS but the reverse is not the case: the FSS rejects cooperation with Zumstein troops from since 2004.
It all sounds perhaps a bit complicated, but it is not. Both groups operate on the core-shamanic paradigm Harner, which might perhaps be formulated to Zumstein FLSS via the exchange, foster and develop this technology would reach. For example, some of the stated goals to take deeper into the way of life towards healing and creative influence, it is being worked on and with a theory of meta-shamanism, the dreams play a greater role than in Harner and efforts are to develop and design of modern myths. Here, the dreams are as a vehicle of enlightenment, new ways of healing, or generates the seven circles of the soul and elaborated. An ambitious program, therefore, provides that in seminars and developed.
This is also the book that is exclusively dedicated to the dream. Well, the book market has already a myriad of publications on the topic; should contribute what they can so this work new? Good stuff.
First is granted any form of dream interpretation ("interpretation reflex"), a clear discharge, after the author's experience is the reproduction and rational interpretation most likely to distort the pure experience into other dimensions. Its own cosmology of dreaming is offered to the reader, with its own laws. Dreams is presented as the original kind of experience and experience: directly and creatively, being actually produced. Terms like Dreamtime and its definition bound to follow. Again, it's also about the dreams to describe from the perspective of dreaming and not compared to waking life. Dreamers and supervising are not the same, a trenchant argument here Zumstein. Although much work Dream interpreter of all time have used it to interpret the guards, the fragments that are left over from dreaming, and thus to make them available. So that it is actually not about dreams, as the author in his book, but the remains in the memory of the guards. What the dreamer in contrast to the guards missing, are in the history and geography of the dream world.
The practical part of the book making up seminars Songlines I-III are aimed exactly at the previously indicated spaces, biography and geography of the dreamer from. Gradually, the practitioner learns to strengthen the dream consciousness, develops awareness of continuity, using intention and dream incubation, creates the waking dream-space and enters the dream dreamed maze. In addition, preparatory maneuvers are described, including techniques that Castaneda attentive readers should be known (for example, the Sweeney-breath). Dreams can be anchored around mantra optimistic and will gradually started to dream their own dream body. In the course of these intensive activities, which only roughly sketched here are the dreamers will be experienced as a fundamental form of consciousness, the experience and knowledge is one. The centered consciousness of wakefulness is united with the open for anything and everything associated with awareness of dreaming. This dream is to act urmystischen back into the unit before the fall, if you will.
is illustrated the whole thing over again with examples of therapeutic dream work, the work of dream circles or personal narratives, Zumstein, the threshold guardians, agents, allies, etc.
proposes Although the author provides a non-dogmatic and downright electrifying way of dreaming, the direct solely on the experience is based, the determination comes to psychological perceptions as to much space that the book reads in part as a compendium of all dream interpretations and practices. This has Zumstein not necessary. His approach and its implementation and elaboration of the three seminars include both didactic content and the best that is verschriftlicht to dream at all. The very first part passes through delimitation and definition efforts requires patience from the reader, the work makes it unnecessarily cumbersome and an additional, as expendable, intellectual challenge. Sometimes less is more.
