Legendary minds like Salvador Dali, and Thomas Edison used their liminal dreams to boost creativity and solve problems in their work! Guess what, you can do this too! We are all natural liminal dreamers, and we pass through this phase every time we fall asleep, or wake up!What is hypnagogia? How can we learn to navigate the in between phases of sleep where we are half awake and half asleep . What is the science behind this phase of sleep? Jennifer Dumpert wrote the book Liminal Dreaming. I am so honored to have her as a guest. Thank you Jen, for putting up with my hectic schedule and terrible wifi connection!You can find her website, and books hereAt the edges of consciousness, between waking and sleeping, there's a swirling, free associative state of mind that is the domain of liminal dreams. As we sink into slumber, we pass through hypnagogia, the first of the two liminal dream states. In this transitional zone, memories, perceptions, and imaginings arise in a fast moving, hallucinatory, semi-conscious remix. On the other end of the night, as we wake, we experience hypnopompia, the hazy, pleasant, drift that is the other liminal dream state. Readers of Liminal Dreaming will learn step-by-step how to create a dream practice, integrating the deeply unusual half-waking dream states of hypnagogia and hypnopompia into their lives in personally meaningful ways. Working with liminal dreams can improve sleep, mitigate anxiety and depression, help to heal trauma, and aid creativity and problem-solving. Liminal dreaming practice is also far easier to learn than lucid dreaming practice, making it possible for the reader to begin working with these dreams this very night.Books Mentioned in this episode:Sleep Paralysis: A Guide to Hypnagogic Visions and Visitors of the Night By Ryan HurdHypnagogia by Andreas Mavromatishttps://www.liminaldreaming.com/Timestamps2:50 What is hypnagogia?5:50 EEG States11:20 Circadian rhythm13:20 Are you an Owl or a Lark?17:00 Sleep paralysis: How to avoid it and how to embrace it. 21:45 Phases of sleep 36:40 Liminal Vs REM dreams38:40 How to use hypnagogia for creativity: Dali-Edison Method43:17 Oneirogen dream enhancement46:03 How do binaural beats work?50:55 Hypnopompia Support the showOur WebsiteSHOP supplements for lucid dream enhancementFollow The Dream World PodcastInstagram @TheDreamWorldPodcastTik Tok @aminasdreamworldSpotifyFacebookClubhouse

Meet Jennifer Dumpert. Jennifer is a San Francisco-based dreamer and lecturer, author of Liminal Dreaming: Exploring Consciousness at the Edge of Sleep. And the edge of sleep is where we go today! We drop like stones into the weird space between dreams and ordinary waking consciousness, and then attempt to recombobulate afterwards into coherent human beings.We find out what liminal dreaming is, why it's such a good practice, and how it can be used to great effect at the opera and with the in-laws. We also get a taste of Jennifer's boundary-mixing personal practice of embedding dreams into the urban landscape, threading the liminal into the lived.To go straight to the 14 minute liminal dreaming practice, it starts at 04:45 and ends at 18:21.Enjoy!

Join Andrew and author Jennifer Dumpert in a lively discussion about Liminal Dreaming, that twilight zone of consciousness between waking and dreaming. Also known as the hypnogogic-hypnopompic state, liminal dreaming is a fascinating state where the boundaries of ego dissolve, and the mind enters a playground of transformation. Watching how the ego falls apart in this unglued state helps us understand how it comes together as we get back online in the waking state – and glue the narrative of our lives back together. The conversation begins with an overview of liminal (“threshold”) states altogether – both psychological and physical — and the revelations that unfold if one can remain lucid to these states. Jennifer discusses how Thomas Edison and Salvador Dali both used these states for creativity, and how anyone can practice liminal dreaming, which is much easier than lucid dreaming. Armed with a few tips, anybody can do it. The conversation turns to the stages of liminal dreaming, emphasizing the autosymbolic (or thought-image amalgamation) stage. Jennifer touts the benefits of developing a “crepuscular culture,” and how much we can learn from non-narrative (non-egoic) states of mind. The discussion turns to how liminal dreaming is connected to bardo tenets, and how dying itself – when one is not fully in this world nor the next – is an extended liminal space. By “surfing the edges of consciousness,” and “playing in the changing froth of perception” now, we can acquaint ourselves with similar states of mind that we will experience when we die. As the poet Kabir said of death, “What is found now is found then.” Liminality, like the bardo principle altogether, has vast applicability. Find out for yourself in this rich conversation!

Jennifer Dumpert is an "oneironaut", an explorer of dream consciousness, who has spent many decades working with the liminal dream space. Liminal Dreaming is the space that we often don't pay attention to and hence barrel through it from waking consciousness all the way to REM sleep. Jennifer teaches us that there is a whole world available in these spaces, a world full of insight, creativity and healing, and the same very real dimension where Salvadore Dali and Thomas Edison would use to create works of art and genius. Nicola Tesla would often inquire with his assistant to whether he was dreaming or not because he was so often in this liminal dream space. Zack explores with Jennifer some of the possibilities available to us in the Liminal Dream space and how it can help us with nightmares, creativity, healing and becoming comfortable with the unknown and even death. You'll become acquainted to the "Bardo" state referred to by the Tibetan Holy men and referred to by different names by other mystics. Jennifer is the author of the book "Liminal Dreaming" and teaches workshops at many transformational festivals. She has been known to say that one when cultivates liminal dream states, one can open themselves up to psychedelic experiences without any of the negative consequences that can be associated with those medicines. There is a world alive within us all that begs to be witnessed and explored in her depth and beauty.
Liminal dreaming occurs at the boundaries of consciousness between waking and sleep. To guide us in harnessing one of the most unusual human experiences, Jennifer Dumpert will discuss a comprehensive array of practical exercises for accessing and lingering in our liminal dream states. She explores the brain states, which together create our experience of dreaming—hypnagogia, the hallucinatory dream state through which we pass as we sink into sleep, and hypnopompia, the mesmerizing dreams we experience as we surface back into waking. Jennifer will share some techniques to harness the power of hypnagogia and hypnopompia and engage our dreaming minds to help us answer personal or intellectual questions or even, she says, “encourage the healing process.” Thank you for listening to the Midnight in the Desert Hour podcast.

If our reality - and hence our life experiences - are shaped by our perception and limitations of our imagination, then what can our dreams teach us about consciousness and our Selves? In this episode, we’re talking with Jennifer Dumpert, a San Francisco-based writer, lecturer, and consciousness hacker to help us answer this question. She’s the author of the recently released Liminal Dreaming: Exploring Consciousness at the Edges of Sleep. Jennifer teaches the practice of Liminal Dreaming—surfing the edges of consciousness using hypnagogic and hypnopompic dream states. We discuss liminal dreaming as the doorway between waking and dream consciousness, how it differs from other kinds of dream & sleep states, and the healing benefits of liminal dreaming and yoga nidra being applied globally. We also talk about one of my favorite topics - imagination as a faculty of perception (and perhaps the most important one!) and what’s actually happening in the brain and body when we experience common collective experiences such as sleep paralysis, falling sensations and jerking, and “hallucinations.” Jennifer also dives into oneirogens - what they are, how they work and how to use them, including herbs, sounds, smells, and technology we can use for enhancing dreams, divination, & healing. Jennifer is the founder of the Oneironauticum, an international organization that explores the phenomenological experience of dreams as a means of experimenting with mind. This was such a fun and fascinating interview, and I loved how Jennifer wove tons of practical tools and exercises into her book...

Liminal dreaming occurs at the boundaries of consciousness between waking and sleep. To guide us in harnessing one of the most unusual human experiences, Jennifer Dumpert presented a comprehensive array of practical exercises for accessing and lingering in our liminal dream states. She explored the brain states which together create our experience of dreaming—hypnagogia, the hallucinatory dream state through which we pass as we sink into sleep, and hypnopompia, the mesmerizing dreams we experience as we surface back into waking. Dumpert offered us techniques to harness the power of hypnagogia and hypnopompia and engage our dreaming minds to help us answer personal or intellectual questions or even, she says, encourage the healing process. Join Dumpert to learn about the power of liminal dream states to create an ideal circumstance for deep meditation, provide altered consciousness experiences, and offer each of us insight into the depths of our own psyche. Jennifer Dumpert is a San Francisco-based writer and lecturer, and the founder of the Oneironauticum, an international organization that explores the phenomenological experience of dreams as a means of experimenting with mind. Recorded live in The Forum at Town Hall Seattle on August 14, 2019.

We tend to think of consciousness and the waking world in black and white terms. One minute you’re awake, and the next you’re asleep. But what if there was something in-between? A zone between consciousness and unconsciousness. A place where you can get a pure, unfiltered look at your subconscious, where you can think freely and unencumbered by the issues of the waking world. Jennifer Dumpert, author and dream researcher, is here to help you understand this in-between space, a space she writes about in her book titled, “Liminal Dreaming: Exploring Consciousness at the Edges of Sleep.” Liminal dreaming provides a great opportunity to bring back important lessons from your subconscious mind. It also offers a chance for us to tap into our pure, unfiltered creative potential. Not to be confused with lucid dreaming, liminal dreaming is a much simpler skill to learn and master. As Jennifer points out, not everyone can control a lucid dream, but everyone is a natural at liminal dreaming. In today’s episode, Jennifer breaks down the basics of Liminal Dreaming. She discusses how to begin experimenting with liminal dreaming to enhance your life and wellbeing and how the art of liminal dreaming has impacted her own life. Don’t forget, we just announced our newest partnership with b8ta! B8ta.com gives you access to some of the most innovative and cutting edge consumer tech products. This week, we will be giving away the Chilipad, a water cooled & heated mattress pad that allows you to control temperature for optimal sleep. Enter the giveaway for a chance to win! Quotes: 2:47- “There is a continuity of consciousness between awake and asleep. You can really stretch it out. You can be 80% awake and 20% dreaming or the opposite.” 3:07- “Waking and sleeping is not binary. We often think of it as on or off, one or zero.” 8:58- “My hope is that people will go into this state [hynagogia] and actually do things with it.” 13:23- “The creative process is the point, not the end point. Creativity is the way you that you take what you learn from the subconscious into the waking world.” 29:47- “I really want to democratize the visionary experience.” 49:31- “Liminal dreaming is kind of like surfing the edge of conscious and unconscious. It’s learning to surf the space where your both dreaming and awake at the same time and kind of surf down the middle of them.” Mission Daily and all of our podcasts are created with love by our team at Mission.org We own and operate a network of podcasts, and brand story studio designed to accelerate learning.

As with yoga nidra, liminal dreaming requires us to surrender. To let go and drop into a space of deep relaxation. To have a conversation with the unconscious. So, what, exactly is liminal dreaming and when does it occur? And how can we develop a dream practice around it that supports creativity and problem-solving—and improves our overall wellbeing? Jennifer Dumpert is writer, speaker and consciousness hacker who teaches the practice of liminal dreaming. She is also the founder of Oneironauticum, a global organization that explores the phenomenological experience of dreams as a means of self-actualization and consciousness expansion. Jennifer's new book, Liminal Dreaming: Exploring Consciousness at the Edges of Sleep, offers readers a step-by-step process for creating their own meaningful dream practice. Today, Jennifer joins me to define liminal dreaming and discuss its characteristic irregular brainwaves. She explores the yoga nidra + liminal dream connection, speaking to the restorative quality of the practice and the best way to facilitate liminal dreaming via slow and deep nidras. Jennifer also explains why scents and smells make excellent oneirogens and shares some of the most common olfactory and auricular allies for liminal dreaming. Listen in for insight on processing liminal dreams to develop your own practice and learn how Thomas Edison and Salvador Dalí practiced liminal dreaming for creativity and problem-solving! Key Takeaways The definition of liminal dreaming and its irregular brainwaves The differences among REM sleep, lucid and liminal dreaming How liminal dreaming serves as a pathway to lucid dreaming Where in the yoga nidra map people go into liminal dreaming The restorative quality of an experience in liminal dreaming How to process liminal dreams as part of a core practice The value in focusing on the experience of a dream in your body Jennifer's powerful experience with collective dreaming Why scents and smells make excellent oneirogens for dreaming The benefit to crafting your own liminal dream practice How slow and deep nidras facilitate liminal dreaming The reasons behind the growing awareness of hypnagogia How liminal dreaming presents in older people + small children The liminal dream process used by Edison + Dali for creativity Connect with Jennifer Urban Dreamscape Jennifer on Twitter Jennifer on Facebook Resources Liminal Dreaming: Exploring Consciousness at the Edges of Sleep by Jennifer Dumpert Books by Stephen LaBerge Brenna Geehan Rod Stryker Yoga Nidra by Swami Satyananda Saraswati Dr. Rubin Naiman Uma Dinsmore-Tuli Dale Pendell Robert Rich “Somnium” by Robert Rich Dr. Christopher Kerr at TEDxBuffalo David Foulkes Dream Research Dr. Charles Tart Daring to Rest: Reclaim Your Power with Yoga Nidra Rest Meditation by Karen Brody
