DREAMS: A SHORT COURSE
A Living Research Methodology
Explore dreaming practices to expand your research and learning capacity, and gain the practical tools to apply dreaming awareness to your life and work.
An ethical approach and clear framework to connect deeper to lands and cultures, as well as your own experiences within them.
In this short course, we explore dreams and dreaming practices, through a cross-cultural lens.
Looking to societies ‘in which accounts of dreams and their interpretation are a normal process of interaction and decision-making.’ - Jean A Guy Goulet, Doctor of Philosophy & Professor of Anthropology.
By engaging with dreams as a method of research we can immerse in new and authentic ways of perceiving and relating to the world around us.

At Soul Seed Gathering, we believe we will have a much more robust, rich, and true understanding of history and culture if we all take on the roles of record keepers, historians, and cultural authors.
Our dreams, and the dreams of others, can offer incredible insights, connections and teachings for us all to learn from.

COURSE AUTHOR + GUIDE
Founder, Hannah Ruth Dyson offers her unique insights and perspective as a living researcher and storyteller to this course. From first exploring lucid dreaming practices and ‘extraordinary’ experiences within her own dreams…
To learning with Guatemalan Mayan communities and their relationships with prophetic and purpose-guided dreaming…
To developing a cross cultural and across-time mapping of dream practices, community practices and the symbology, ‘the language of dreams.’…
While also following the academic literature and the anthropologists in particular contending with their dreams being affected and contributing to their research with certain indigenous groups.
What has become vital for her work and Soul Seed Gatherings’ is the focus on the process, protocols and methods of knowledge development. Processes that have been largely missing in Western approaches due to their ignorance and avoidance of rituals, ceremony and relationships to spirit. This often means missing the depth and complexity inherent to indigenous and ancestral knowledge systems, by only engaging with them through a superficial and simplistic lens.
