Just started reading the above title by Chogyal Namkhai Norbu and I’m enjoying the casual flow of his wisdom. It seems to me like not only does this master know a lot about the dreamworld, but his experiences are cross-cultural too. One example that’s really struck me so far was that when he visited the US he had a series of dreams where he learned a dance very similar to the Native American Ghost Dance, night after night being visited by a teacher who taught him the complex steps for this dance of up to 36 people. Here’s another example of an Eastern teacher embracing and communing with the indigenous wisdoms of the West–all through the context of dreaming.
The reason I have great respect for this is because many teachers of Dreamwork are bound to the symbols of one culture and miss out on a whole range of other archetypes that are possible to encounter in the dream state. From personal experience, the content and context of dreaming is trans-cultural.
I’ll be keep you updated on other unique insights that this Eastern author has to share with the Western world.
