Robert Moss – The Dreamer’s School of Soul
Access the power of dream journeys to discover the answers to life’s most important questions: who am I, where do I come from, and what is my sacred purpose in this world and beyond?
Discover how to navigate your life by listening to the soul messages that come through your dreams — opening you to exciting new possibilities for healing, growing and living fully and joyfully.
What You’ll Learn In The Dreamer’s School of Soul
During The Dreamer’s School of Soul, Robert Moss will take you on an exciting and life-enriching virtual adventure as he shares insights, skills and practices you’ll need to discover and cultivate expanded possibilities for your life and heal and grow in the ways that your soul guides you — through nighttime dreams and Active Dreaming.
Each teaching, dialogue and “play” session will build upon the next, so that you’ll develop a complete, holistic understanding of the practices, tools and principles that can allow you to travel into hidden realms of the multiverse and the multidimensional self for personal healing, enlightenment and initiation.
PART 1: DREAM CLINIC
Dreaming is fun and is also a discipline, which means you get good at and ascend to higher levels through practice, practice, practice. We start with a high-octane introduction to the core techniques of Active Dreaming, with guidance on how to handle issues that have prevented many from joining in the dream adventure: absence of dream recall, nightmares and night terrors, difficulty in visualizing, self-limiting habits and beliefs.
You’ll find these first classes fast and frisky. If you are new to this, you’ll find your wing feathers growing back. If you are already an advanced practitioner — and we have certified teachers of Active Dreaming in The Dreamer’s School of Soul — you’ll find you are growing your power to assist and inspire others, in any life situation.
Module 1: Opening the Dream Gates
We’ll study the reasons why so many in our society have been suffering a chronic or transitional dream drought. You’ll be invited to journey to the kind of Cosmic Video Store where you can pick up some of the dreams you’ve lost.
Then we’ll introduce our signature method of dream sharing. Lightning Dreamwork is a simple 4-step process that enables you to create a safe space to share dreams or personal stories, exchange helpful feedback and guidance towards action that you can practice just about anywhere, anytime.
Module 2: Raising & Feeding Your Animal Spirits
When shamans go dreaming, they are often accompanied by spirit allies who appear in animal form. Developing a strong working connection with power animals will give essential guidance and protection. This is one of the quickest ways to raise your vitality and discern the natural path of your energy. You may already be working with animal guardians. You will discover new things and may be able to expand your shamanic menagerie. You may find it includes mythic beasts and beloved pets that have shared your life.
Module 3: Nine Keys to Your Dreams
We’ll briefly review what different human cultures have looked for in dreams — from interaction with the gods to “day residue” in the dyspeptic shallows of the personal subconscious — and how dreams have been shared.
We’ll visit the booth of a Minoan dream interpreter whose shingle was a painting of a bull, and listen in as Jung encourages a patient to work a dream towards healing and resolution through active imagination.
Module 4: Keeping Your Books of Night & Day
The most important book about soul and dreaming that you will ever read is your own journal. Kept over many years, you’ll find it is a treasure chest. In this module, you’ll receive expert guidance on the art of creative journal keeping.
PART 2: FLIGHT SCHOOL
Module 5: Welcome to the Twilight Zone
Tinker Bell told Peter Pan, “Look for me in the place between sleep and awake. There you will always find me.” It’s no fairy story. In the history of science, as in many other fields, the liminal state of hypnagogia has been the solution state in which creative breakthroughs are made and inner guides are easily accessible.
This is an ideal launch pad for lucid dreaming and astral travel. It is recognized in dream yoga, as in the mystery traditions, that by learning to maintain a state of relaxed attention on the cusp of sleep, we develop heightened awareness and the ability to operate in more than one reality simultaneously.
Module 6: Shamanic Lucid Dreaming
The dreams you remember are your best portals for travel into the deeper reality, and your royal road to lucid dreaming. A dream is a journey; it is also a place. You went somewhere in your dream, near or far from the fields you know in your regular life. Because you have been to that place, you can find your way there again.
Module 7: Flight Security & Paleo Psych 101
As we embark on adventures in other worlds, we need to be careful to stay grounded in this world, to establish and maintain good psychic boundaries and to discern different entities and energies we may encounter. In this class, we’ll consult with Dion Fortune, a true priestess of the Western way, on how to prevent psychic intrusion and stay away from bad neighborhoods.
PART 3: DREAM DIVINATION & KAIROMANCY
Module 8: Dream a Better Future
You are a natural psychic of a high order in your dreams, when you let down your left-brain inhibitions and just do it. You routinely practice precognition, clairvoyance, telepathy. Such powers are sometimes described as examples of ESP. Today scientists are reviving a better term invented by the great Victorian scientist of the unseen, Frederick Myers: supernormal. Scientists like Dean Radin maintain that quantum entanglement means that supernormal phenomena are inevitable.
Every night, your dream self goes ahead of your waking self, scouting out challenges and opportunities that lie on the roads ahead. This is part of our human survival kit. Once you wake up to the fact that you dream events before they happen in regular life, you can graduate to the good stuff, which is changing your possible future for the better and becoming co-creator of your reality.
Module 9: Way of the Kairomancer
A kairomancer is someone who is ready to recognize the special moments when synchronicity is at work — and to seize on the revelation or opportunity that is now available. To be a kairomancer, you must be open to new experience, willing to set aside plans, grateful for secret handshakes and surprises, and ready to honor your special moments of revelation by taking appropriate action.
During this session, we’ll learn from an American master of navigating by synchronicity — Mark Twain, no less — who will also remind us never to leave home (or return to it) without our sense of humor. And we’ll play a wildly entertaining and instructive digital version of Robert Moss’s celebrated Coincidence Card Game that will give you instant guidance on a life issue.
Module 10: Play Sidewalk Tarot
We need to be more literal about dreams and more symbolist about everyday life. Walk your environment with the right kind of awareness, and you’ll notice that the world is constantly giving you messages in the form of signs and symbols. You can play fun games any day by receiving these messages — the vanity plate on that car, that overheard snatch of conversation from a stranger, that chance encounter — as tarot cards being dealt to you by the world. A tarot deck has 78 cards; in Sidewalk Tarot, the number is unlimited.
PART 4: HOUSE OF HEALING
You hear the ripple of water and smell the flowering gardens before you reach the outer gate of the House of Healing. You are reminded that you must lay down old mindsets in order to get to the place of transformation. And you must bring your dream of invitation. You will be cleansed and prepared for a direct encounter with the sacred guide and healer. After this, you will be different, and ready to learn the arts of soul healing.
Module 11: Healing Through Imagination
The body believes in images. Abundant evidence from medical science and sports psychology demonstrates that the body responds to an image as it might do to a physical event, pump out self-generated pharmaceuticals according to where we place our attention. Any image that belongs to you can be a source of power and healing, even the scary stuff you would rather keep in a locked box. The trick is to learn how to develop your personal imagery so it can help you to get well and stay well. Your body is waiting for you to get good at this.
Module 12: Soul Recovery & Transtemporal Healing
You know this in your heart and in your gut: soul loss — the loss of vital energy and identity as the result of pain or trauma or wrenching life choices — is at the root of many of our existential complaints. We lose vital soul energy through pain and trauma and heartbreak, through wrenching life choices, and by giving up on our big dreams and ceasing to live the soul’s purpose.
When we lose the energy of soul, the magic goes out of life. We are often fatigued for no apparent reason, we can’t experience joy or love, and there is a gaping hole in us that we try to fill with addictive behaviors. Soul loss can put us in the procession of the walking dead, playing the roles that other people cast us for, no longer knowing who we are or why we are in this world.
As a time traveler, you can journey to a younger self in her own Now time. As a voice in her mind, you can provide the encouragement and counsel she may need at a time of unbearable pain or challenge. You can be the friend and protector she lacked when her need was great. From this can flow tremendous healing for both of you, for you in your present time and for her in her own time.
Module 13: Becoming a Word Doctor
We can heal the body and our experience of the world by telling better stories about them. We can do this for others as well as ourselves. We can grow a bigger and better story — a healing image, a vision of life possibility, even a map to the next world — for someone who is bereft of images or stuck in an old, confining story.
PART 5: CO-CREATION
You are becoming aware that you can step outside time and move towards the source of the events and circumstances that will be played out in your life. You can stir the quantum soup of possibilities, and select what will emerge into form and manifestation.
In the Faculty of Co-creation, you’ll be encouraged to build your own place of creation in the Imaginal Field, where you can entertain friends, converse with masters, and grow the life projects you wish to see manifest in your world. All of this is more important, and more practical, than we may be able to grasp in what Yeats called “the daily trivial mind.” The poet in the soul of each of us knows why. It is because (as Tagore said), “the stronger the imagination, the less imaginary the results.” It is because imagination, working in the field of nonlocal mind, can create worlds.
Module 14: Tap the Creative Power of Dreams
The Inuit says that the spirits like “fresh words.” They want to be entertained. They are easily bored with humans who go on repeating old formulas and old ways. When we bring something fresh and new into the world, we entertain the spirits and delight our own creative genius, and our lives are infused with natural magic, confirmed by the play of synchronicity. To create is to bring something new into the world. Dreams and twilight states of consciousness have inspired great scientists, inventors, musicians, writers and liberators of human possibility throughout history.
Module 15: Journey to the Magic Library
You have access to a Magic Library whose doors are never closed to you, through you may be required to show some ID and put down your baggage. How it looks and what it contains are conditioned by your interests and your passions. It could look like an art gallery, or a fashion museum, or a music school.
Within this space, you can have access to inspiration and information in any area that attracts you. There are guides available. They may include master teachers in any field. I meet a lot of dead writers here who are very much alive to me. Whether they are the spirits of those authors, or personality essences, or aspects of myself is less interesting to me than the creative discoveries they share with me and the surge of creative energy and direction I receive from these encounters.
In your version of the Magic Library, you may be able to find the Big Story you need for your life right now.
Module 16: Co-creating With Your Genius
When we take on a creative project — and its element of risk — and step out of whatever box we have been in, we draw supporting powers, especially the power that the ancients called the genius or the daimon. Most people understand this intuitively, even though we may fumble for an agreed language to describe it.
The Romans never described a person as a genius. They might say, “Apollonius has a genius” — i.e., a special relationship with a tutelary spirit. The word genius is related to gignere, which means to engender or “beget.” It implies reproductive energy, the power of inseminating new life.
To choose and act creatively, we must be able to put our commonplace selves, with their reliance on structures and schedules, on one side, and make room for the source energy of the begetter.
PART 6: SOUL IN THE MULTIVERSE
When we wake up to the fact that the time is always Now, we are ready to become conscious time travelers. We can learn to do more than simply visit the past and the future. We can seek to establish mental communication with personalities in the possible past and the possible future for mutual benefit. We can look in on our parallel selves.
Living parallel lives that we glimpse in dreams are entirely real, according to the Many Worlds theory in physics. We can seek to rise above the perspective of these personalities to that of a Self on a higher level who can read the patterns of connection and help to re-weave them for the better.
Module 17: Meet Your Soul Family in the House of Time
Your present life is intimately related to dramas and relationships that are playing out in other times — past, future and parallel. This is your invitation to visit a very special location in the multiverse to learn more about your connection with other personalities in your multidimensional family.
In the process, you will learn about reality creation in the Imaginal Realm, the vast plane of reality where human imagination works with higher intelligence to build enduring structures for healing, learning and initiation. The House of Time has been developed through the active imagination of dream explorers and archaeologists who have traveled here. It stands on ancient foundations.
Module 18: Meet Your Oversoul
Of all the guides and mentors that may become available to us in a lifetime, the most important is a friend of the soul that will never lie to us and will never judge us. It’s the Higher Self, which the Sufis call, beautifully, the soul of the soul. Ultimately we can only make peace between the many aspects of ourselves by opening a direct and conscious connection with the Self on a higher level — the Self that is no stranger.
The Yoruba have a fascinating teaching about this. They say that we have a “double in heaven” who watches us from a higher level while we operate down below as “the double in the marketplace.” From life to life, they say, we switch roles with that other self.
In her Oversoul Seven trilogy, Jane Roberts gave us an equally fascinating picture of our relations with an Oversoul that is responsible for supervising and connecting a family of personalities living in different times, past and future.
Module 19: Journey to the Space Between Lives
You are in the afterlife right now. You died to another world in order to come here. This will become very clear to you in the School of Soul. You’ll find that the space you enter after death and the space you are in before birth are closely related. You come from the dream world into the physical world at the moment of birth. But few of us are born with clear memories of where we were before, and those of us who remember will have to withstand not only the trauma of the birth canal but the amnesiac influences of most of those around us.
Module 20: Track Your Parallel Selves in the Many Worlds
Part of the secret logic of our lives may be that our paths constantly interweave with those of numberless parallel selves, sometimes converging or even merging, sometimes diverging ever farther. The gifts and failings of these alternate selves — with all the baggage of their separate lives — may influence us when our paths converge, in ways that we generally fail to recognize.
We can travel into the life experiences of personalities in other time periods with whom we are connected in our multidimensional family of selves. We do this spontaneously in our night dreams. When we learn to do it consciously, our view of life and possibility expands tremendously.
In physics, the Many Worlds hypothesis advances the idea that we are living right now in one of countless parallel worlds, and that they interact with each other. Physicist Brian Greene speculates that we all have “endless doppelgangers” leading parallel lives in parallel universes. When you develop the skills of Active Dreaming, you can explore this experientially — and learn how to bring gifts and lessons from a parallel world into this one.
PART 7: DREAM ARCHAEOLOGY
Dreams open authentic and timely connections to the ancestors, offering us the chance to heal the wounds of the past and affect cultural soul recovery. Dream archaeology is a discipline that enables us to access the living past, to enter into direct communication with the keepers of ancestral wisdom and heal the collective and cultural soul loss that is a feature of our age.
The practice of dream archaeology involves reclaiming authentic knowledge of ancestral traditions — including those that may have been buried or suppressed in the course of history — through a combination of careful research and experiential journeying across time and between dimensions. The dream archeologist combines the skills of the shaman, the scholar and the detective.
Module 21: Ancestral Healing & Cultural Soul Recovery
The ancestors are calling, calling. We are talking about ancestors in three senses: the ancestors of your bloodlines, and of the lands where you live or travel, and of your soul family across time and place.
Module 22: Dreaming in the Grove
You are called into the woods to a grove where many different trees stand in a circle as if in council. You know some but not all. One is calling you now. You enter the tree, and the dream of the heartwood. You ask for your tree name, and the wisdom this tree has for you. This is how your expedition into Celtic realms begins.
Module 23: Mystery Class
The Faculty of Dream Archaeology advises that the dreams and journeys, the memories and desires of the group, along with the play of shelf elves and synchronicity, will shape the content of the final class offered in this cycle. We may find ourselves traveling to the future or the past, to specific sites or through mythic portals. We’ll remember, as Seth advised, that we “stand at the center of all times” and that, as Black Elk counseled, the center of the universe is wherever we are.
PART 8: DREAMING HUMANITY’S PATH
Module 24: When We Become a Dreaming Society
I have a dream: that we will again become a society of dreamers. In a dreaming culture, dreams are valued and celebrated. The first business of the day, for most people, is to share dreams — dreams from the night, and dreams of life — and seek to harvest their guidance. The community joins in manifesting the energy and insight of dreams in waking life. In a dreaming culture, nobody says, “It’s only a dream” or “In your dreams, mister.” It is understood that dreams are both wishes (“I have a dream”) and experiences of the soul.
At the end of the deep adventures you have shared over seven months, it is Robert Moss’s hope that you will feel inspired and empowered to go among others as a dream ambassador, sharing the gifts of what you’ve learned and helping to midwife the rebirth of a dreaming society. If dreams were honored throughout our society, our world would be different, and magical.
