Oooh... you caught my attention there! I'm going to share something I don't think I've shared here before. I do shamanic journeying and am learning to combine that with my dream work. Early on in my therapy my T taught me about Active Imagination (this was after I didn't think she was kooky anymore), so I tried it and I was a natural at it with my imagination and used to do them quite often between sessions and then type them up and read them to her, and one time she goes "that sounds more like a shamanic journey" and I was like "a shamanawhatsa?" She told me a little about them and it sounded interesting so I started researching it on my own got even more curious so found a local group of folks who gather to 'journey' together to a drumbeat. I love it and have done some really good therapy work while journeying. Like, you're accessing a part of your mind that you aren't consciously aware of. The drumbeat alters your brain waves to a state similar to when you are asleep and dreaming, but you are awake..... lately I've been journeying 'into' my dreams and interacting with people and situations in the dreams. I getting carried away sorry! love this stuff.
