Robert Hoss - The Dreams That Keep Us In Wonder

There are dreams, and then there are the dreams that really make us sit up and take notice. Dreams where we have conversations with departed loved ones. Dreams where we can control the action and are aware of what we’re doing while we’re sleeping. And while they’re not exactly dreams, out of body experiences are another real phenomenon that can transform the way we view and experience our waking life.
We take a look at these dreams and more with one of my favorite dream researchers, Robert Hoss, who has devoted his life into exploring all facets of what happens after we fall asleep at night. Bob is a Director and Past President of the International Association for the Study of Dreams, is an award-winning author and teacher and is the Director of the IASD’s Annual Conference. In this free-wheeling interview, Bob explains:
•what happens in visitation dreams
•the beauty of psychopompic dreams
•how dreams give us a glimpse of heaven
•the dreams that help us grieve
•what out of body experiences tell us about our consciousness
•why he loves lucid dreaming
•and get a preview of this summer’s IASD Conference
