Liminal Dreaming | Free Book
At the edges of consciousness, between waking and sleeping, there’s a swirling, free associative state of mind that is the domain of liminal dreams. Working with liminal dreams can improve sleep, mitigate anxiety and depression, help to heal trauma, and aid creativity and problem-solving.
As we sink into slumber, we pass through hypnagogia, the first of the two liminal dream states. In this transitional zone, memories, perceptions, and imaginings arise in a fast moving, hallucinatory, semi-conscious remix. On the other end of the night, as we wake, we experience hypnopompia—the hazy, pleasant, drift that is the other liminal dream state.
Readers of Liminal Dreaming will learn step-by-step how to create a dream practice outside of REM-sleep states that they can incorporate into their lives in personally meaningful ways. Liminal dreaming practice is also far easier to learn than lucid dreaming practice, making it possible for the reader to begin working with these dreams this very night.
In The Press
“Jennifer Dumpert is a dream scholar, dream hacker, dream weaver. If
you’ve ever been curious to learn more about the cosmos behind
your eyelids, the realms you visit every night, let her be your
guide.”
—JASON SILVA, host of National Geographic’s
Brain Games
“Falling asleep is not a loss of
consciousness but an offering from the psyche to anyone with the
wisdom to accept it. Jennifer Dumpert is pointing the way to a door
that’s already open—one more accessible, sustainable, and
transformational than any drug or virtual reality.”
—DOUGLAS
RUSHKOFF, author of Team Human
“With
patience, clarity, and insight Jennifer Dumpert, a seasoned dreamer,
leads us through this land of hypnos, making available to the
reader a third state of consciousness: neither day nor night but
somewhere on the edge of both, a place of creativity, intuition,
and vision. Many books put their readers to sleep. This one can take
you to the edge of it and leave you there to dream.”
—GARY
LACHMAN, author of A Secret History of Consciousness
“Liminal Dreaming provides us with an
array of personal exercises—a pragmatic vehicle for directly
experiencing this ‘wild psychedelic ride’ through imagination,
mystery, creativity, and healing. By reminding us of the natural
continuity between waking and dreams, this work reminds us of our
own innate wholeness."
—RUBIN NAIMAN, PhD, clinical assistant
professor of medicine, University of Arizona’s Center for
Integrative Medicine
