Transcendent Sleep: Radiant Rest, Dreams and Mystery with Dr. Rubin Naiman
Sleep is an essential part of the mystery of being alive! So much more than a break from "real life", sleep is actually a portal to the mysteries of consciousness. In this episode, Dr. Naiman and Dr. Clare Johnson explore the nature of sleep as a portal to the sublime, the Lucid Light and the healing immersion of bliss states. Dr. Naiman shares his wagon wheel theory of consciousness, sleep and dreams. He talks about the silent epidemic of dream loss, fatal misconceptions about insomnia, and the reason so many people experience loneliness. Dr. Johnson shares how we can change our loneliness by sharing dreams, which is tantamount to sharing a piece of our soul. They discuss consciousness, the healing power of dreams, and why sleep is finally receiving more of the attention it deserves as an essential pillar of human health. Dr. Rubin Naiman, who was recently interviewed by Oprah Winfrey, is a celebrated sleep psychologist and author of The Yoga of Sleep and Hush. A sleep and dream specialist at the University of Arizona, Rubin brings soul to the field of sleep. Dr. Clare Johnson is an internationally known lucid dreaming expert and author of 8 books.

What Really Happens in the Afterlife? Near Death and Lucid Dreaming
The wise and deep Dr. Penny Sartori shares her academic research into near-death experiences after 17 years working in Intensive Care in a British hospital. Dr. Sartori recorded the startling, blissful - and at times horrifying - afterlife accounts of patients who were pronounced clinically dead but were brought back by doctors. In this interview, we ask, how does lucid dreaming connect with afterlife visions? And what about the 15% of NDEs that are negative and hell-like? Why do people rarely talk about these? How can lucid dreaming help with the traumatic after-effects? Dr. Clare Johnson shares her Lucid Imaging Nightmare Solution from her book The Art of Transforming Nightmares and explains how this technique works for PTSD nightmares and could transform distressing memories of negative NDEs. Dr. Sartori shares case studies and ultimately answers the big question: What is the meaning of life? Dr. Penny Sartori has written fascinating books including The Wisdom of Near-Death Experiences. Her website is: https://www.drpennysartori.com/ This episode will appear on Dr. Clare's YouTube channel. Listen on any podcast platform or on https://www.deepluciddreaming.com/podcast/

Are Lucid Dream Portals Real? Ancient Gods, the Lucid Void & a Dream Temple in Hawaii
Can lucid dreaming open portals to other realities? Dr. Clare Johnson joins Zack Geist, visionary creator of a newly built dream incubation temple in Hawaii, to explore how lucid dreaming can transform not just our nights, but our entire lives. From the temple’s origins as a modern portal for dream incubation to the deeper mysteries of consciousness, Dr. Clare and Zack dive into the paradigm-shattering potential of lucid dreams. They share powerful stories of experiences that blur the boundary between worlds, and practical insights into how lucid dreaming can help us leap to a richer level of reality. What happens when lucid dreamers encounter spaces of light or “white rooms” in deep dream states? Powerful tactics for navigating the lucid void How to manifest lucid dream portals in waking life The role of ancient gods, mythic archetypes, and sacred spaces in dream portals The extraordinary freedom and joy of moving in the miraculous lucid dream body Why lucid dreamers often report higher levels of happiness and meaning And the ultimate question: Is life itself a kind of collective lucid dream—and if so, how should we live it? Dr. Clare also shares reflections on inaugurating the Hawaiian dream incubation temple with one of her renowned Lucid Dreaming Ocean Retreats, where the boundaries between ocean, dream, and waking life begin to dissolve. Next retreat is June 20-24 in Hawaii. https://deepluciddreaming.com/retreats/hawaii-healing-dreams-ocean-retreat/ Tune in to the video version of this conversation on YouTube or go to https://www.DeepLucidDreaming.com
