A thread to pin to my feed about the different kinds of work that I do around something central that feels whole to me:

Almost everything is offered on a pay-what-you-can basis

Upcoming events and workshops are a good place to start

Contempt for dreaming is a pathology of modernity.

A severing of the self,

Turning our spontaneous intuitive, creative energies into the devalued other.

I almost always undertake any persistent compelling leading that comes to me – no matter how ridiculous it may seem to others. But that doesn’t mean I live that out with unerring faith. I often feel foolish when I take up another mad project and wonder if it is all just worthless and futile

Good morning. I dreamed about the "World Train" being established for peace and combating climate change. I then took on the perspective of a rail passenger from southern Japan hoping to reach London entirely by rail, which wasn't previously possible... and of course it didn't start well.

Dreamed last night that the house I was in had huge flooding damage in the the back yard, with a severely eroded creek cutting through the yards of several houses, threatening the foundations of the houses if it got any bigger. Climate change is getting to my subconscious.

I had a goddamn dream about the 'AI-consciousness' debate so this has gone too far.

Somebody I used to know has posted on Facebook about a dream they'd had and used generative AI to create a picture of it, and it's really sad on a load of levels. Apart from the obvious one, it's totally wrecked my own mental image of what it looked like based on their description.-

Had the weirdest frigging dream last night.

Disney made an AI slop choose-your-own adventure game that involved anthropomorphic cats vs humans and a Minnie Mouse that kept glitching between her 20s art style and her current one.

Had a dream last night where I was basically an AI in a torture chamber. So, yeah that's my current mental state.

I just had a weird dream where we blackwalled AI but it ended up being biblical-like and cutting them off from the internet was akin to adam and eve being kicked from the garden and they still prayed to humans like we do to god, and that's why god actually doesn't love us.

Many dreams of being infiltrated in many different ways:
You remember that season of Stranger Things where the Mind Flayer broke off a tiny piece of itself and latched onto El and burrowed under her skin so she was in writhing agony?

Last night I had a dream where AI could do that to people.

Took a nap and had a dream where a company that used AI to make their ads got sued by people for using their likeness without consent and it escalated so much that the EU banned the technology. The people that tried to advocate against the ban were so vile that AI in general could not recover. #FUAI

Dawg, the dream I had last night was WILD

But I can't say what it involved out of fear of me getting suspended for "provoking hate" - let's just say it involved certain people with a hand in AI and a fatal plane crash

More and more dreams of spaces and psyches and dreams being infiltrated by AI.

Fewer and fewer dreams about climate change each week..

I had a very pleasant dream. Trump, Miller, Patel, and Hegseth had been put on a plane, direction Sierra Leone, with handcuffs on their wrists. Unfortunately, I woke up...

I had a dream that the Republicans did so badly in the midterms that Trump resigned in disgust. It was beautiful.

DEEP RESPECT FOR A SCIENTIST THAT TELLS EVERY HUMAN BEING TO
"WAKE THE FUCK UP".

I had a dream that aliens picked me up and I made them pick up NDT to take out Trump.😂🤣😂🤣😂
In my dream, Neil knew how to talk aliens, I didnt.🤦‍♂️

Someone said to me this week, after skimming the collective dreaming newsletter:

"Huh, what are you going to DO with all of that?"

sigh.

I'm going to remind people that dream sharing isn't embarrassing, shameful, boring nonsense.

It is sharing the spontaneous voice of nature inside of us
