Opening the Dream: The Theory and Practice of Archetypal Dreamwork - A Video Introduction

Opening the Dream Cover

In this DVD, Christa Lancaster and Marc Bregman introduce the theory and practice of this work through a unique form of working with dreams in a group setting, called String Therapy.

Through the examples of two dreamers, a man and a woman, Christa and Marc show how dreams can open up through drama, allowing the dreamer to experience new feelings, revelations and direction.

The intention of each dream is to bring the dreamer closer to the true soul self, called the Child Self.

Included with the DVD is a booklet with an essay by Marc Bregman, where he speaks of the journey we can take, through dreams, to return to this Child Self.

Christa and Marc show how dreams can open dreamers to their souls in this incredible introductory dvd.

Dreaming Metaphysical

Dreaming Metaphysical Cover

To find our true child selves, to claim the elixir of Divine Love, we must journey through our dreams to the core of our souls. We begin our lives as the child self with a connection to the Divine. But, by necessity, as we grow up, the child self recedes from the ego below the subconscious and into the unconscious. The gap between the ego and the child self is revealed in the discrepancies presented in dreams.

Like ocean waves that wash up onto the shore and leave behind flecks of foam and parts of the ocean itself, the Child Self also leaves flecks or fragments of what was once a divine reality as it recedes into the unconscious. These spiritual fragments in the subconscious are not the wholeness of the child self. They are fragments of a gift, or the remembrance of something holy.

Past Lives: The Divine Child

Past Lives: The Divine Child

In this book, Marc and Christa are addressing the issue of past lives and the inner soul child self.

Why even consider the possibility of past lives? Because many people have dreams that suggest past lives, past events, past experiences.

This book explores the issue of past lives so that we can feel into how those experiences influence how we live our lives now, in present time. The point is not the past, but the present moment.

About how we live the past in the present, often even creating the past so that we can live it now.

The dreams can take us through not only issues of this lifetime but of our past lives as well so that we can be in the sensuality of living now, in this moment, manifesting the inner, Divine child in connection with the Divine.

From the back cover:

"The journey to the Fields of Abraham and the fullest sense of being in the fields require the descent into the deep well. It is there that one finds the true life with the Divine. I know of no spirituality that exists without a direct, personal soul to soul connection with the Divine.

A Chicken Hawk Goes Home

A Chicken Hawk Goes Home

A memoir written by Bob Murray about his experience doing this work. From the first chapter:

A CHICKEN HAWK FLOATS OVER

A former English teacher at the high school level, I’d often begin a school year or semester-length class by reading this James Wright poem:

Lying in a Hammock at William Duffy's Farm in Pine Island, Minnesota

Over my head, I see the bronze butterfly,
Asleep on the black trunk,
Blowing like a leaf in green shadow.
Down the ravine behind the empty house,
The cowbells follow one another
Into the distances of the afternoon.
To my right,
In a field of sunlight between two pines,
The droppings of last year's horses
Blaze up into golden stones.
I lean back, as the evening darkens and comes on.
A chicken hawk floats over, looking for home.
I have wasted my life.

Song of the Twice Born: Book 1 - The Mirror of Sirrus

Song of the Twice Born - Book 1: The Mirror of Sirrus

Seth Mullins began his book in January 2009 as a short story about a dwarfish like man who has a mirror - a mirror that shows the truth when looked into.

The story blossomed into an entire world, like that of Narnia, like that of Middle Earth.

In Song of the Twice Born, characters of a community talk about their experiences of looking into the magic mirror and what they learned about themselves. And it tells the story of the community they lived commited to following the way of truth.

The River From My Mouth: Poems

From The River From My Mouth: Poems

Iris Open

Irises open their tight blue hearts
in a day, this is how I remember it,
the dark of birth unbolts.

Like thunder-clouds or starlings.
Breaking into air.

This is how the heart breaks,
not into pieces, but blue tongues.

A kind of grace
in this disregarding world.

Blue tongues, and at their center,
a yellow star.

The History of Last Night's Dream: Discovering the Hidden Life of the Soul

What would you say if someone told you that all the masterful dream interpreters in history, from the biblical Joseph to the heretical Freud were - well, wrong? That is the jolt delivered by Rodger Kamenetz in this powerful and beautifully written book. Kamenetz is a soul-searcher, quite literally, and we are all better off because of it.

-- STEPHEN J. DUBNER, author of Turbulent Souls, co-author of Freakonomics

Rodger Kamenetz's The History of Last Night's Dream is an enchanting and provocative book exploring a subject with profound implications about our very humanity. As always, Kamenetz writes with intellectual keenness, spiritual longing, and the verbal elegance of a poet. This is a book that has the cumulative effect of our most complex and revealing dreams.

This collection of songs could not be more personal. It is the unabridged version of my life journey over a period of a year and a half - certainly the travials, and to some degree even the outer. In August, 2006, my wife and I split up, I moved to central Maine to take a high school teaching job, roughly five hours away from Sue and our six-year-old daughter, Sammie. It was a very dark time of my life, one of great pain and heavy soul-searching. Fortunately for me, I had the benefit of Archetypal Dreamwork (also refered to as the Dreamwork) to help navigate me through that often excruciating inner work. I am eteranlly grateful to Marc Bregman, my therapist, for his guidance in that regard.
