I’m packing today (or I’m supposed to be) because tomorrow I fly to the UK to see family and then I’ll head over to London for a wonderful weekend conference where topics from death and near-death experiences to Sufism will be explored.  Last year I spoke on lucid dreaming and was impressed by the audience’s willingness to try ‘lucid dreaming while awake’ via my Lucid Writing technique. This year there are meditations, sound baths, and a dance workshop. It’s called Gateways of the Mind and it’s happening in the Tabernacle, London, on Sat 8th and Sun 9th November.

Here’s an online course I can recommend, it was sent to me as part of the publicity launch effort and I really enjoyed looking through it then simply tossing my pen aside and lying down to listen to the hypnosis visualisations (a welcome distraction from my writing!). I wrote the following testimonial:

With clarity and humour, Rebecca Turner walks beginners through the creative world of lucid dreaming. She provides excellent practical advice and transmits the excitement and beauty of waking up inside a dream as she explores what lucid dreaming can teach us. I’ve always been a prolific lucid dreamer but listening to Rebecca’s imaginative hypnosis audio triggered five lucid dreams in two days; a lovely boost.

How can dreams prepare us for both death and healing? In this ‘Amazing Dreamer’ feature, I talk to visionary artist Fariba Bogzaran and she shares a lucid dream that did both these things… and gave her a new creative art technique too. Just click on the cover of IASD magazine DreamTime to read how it happened.
