Jennifer Dumpert – Night Club guest extraordinaire – is hosting free monthly dream circle meetings that I highly recommend for Night Club/School folx looking for extra credit. (The focus of the upcoming Jan. 22 2021 Oneironaticum is lucid dreaming.)
I attended one last month and loved it. It started with a mini lecture by Jennifer, then she did Q&A, then finished off by leading us through a lovely yoga nidra exercise.
Each month focuses on a different oneirogen, though it is optional whether you try that yourself or not. The upcoming lucid dream-focused event features galantamine as the Oneirogen.
Use mugwort or Yoga Nidra or Galantamine—any or all? Thanks for recommending this dream circle. I found it terrific, though it ended around 12:30 ET. Not supposed to fall asleep? Is that why she was humming softly and shushing at the end? Worked for me.
Any trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep? I find Yoga Nidra gives me about an hour and a half to two hours before awakening. Going back to sleep is usually not easy. Yoga Nidra doesn’t work as well a second time in the same night.
Thanks Sujata. I’ve been doing the nine breaths purification regularly, and bar-lung breathing in addition to nighttime preps that Andrew demonstrated. There seems to be a few of us older folks with similar chronic physical problems that affect our sleep. It makes sleep preparation a daily adventure.
