Speaker: Kenneth Proefrock. Sleeping and dreaming are universal aspects of human life that are adversely affected as we age. Sleeping is that magical state that allows us to recharge our batteries and process the events of our days. Even more than that, the dream state is our own personal on-ramp to the super-highway of the collective unconscious; every body’s portal to the spirit world. The term “oneirogenic” refers to practices that stimulate the formation of dreams. There is a long history of employing botanical preparations in order to produce or to enhance the divinatory nature of dreams. Here we discuss the role that sleep and dreaming play in reminding us of who we are, in a practical as well as a cosmic sense. We discuss plant medicines that have enjoyed a long history of encouraging restful sleep and provocative dream states. Catalog Number 19ME30
