Busy lifestyles, endless scroll, and biases that favor efficiency over curiosity are partially to blame. But there is an antidote: learning to dream again.

She will teach you how to build the muscle for remembering and understanding your dreams; identify patterns and unresolved issues in dreams; use the waking dream method to re-enter dreams to address unfinished business in your waking life. Drawing from neurobiology and social psychology, The Secret Mind presents dreaming as a practice for both personal and global development. With Buckner's simple tools and exercises, a more beautiful, creative world is just a dream away.
