Robert Moss
author. pioneer. active dreamer.
Robert Moss is the pioneer of Active Dreaming, a synthesis of shamanism and modern dreamwork. He believes that dreaming isn't just for sleep; it's for waking up. [www.mossdreams.com]
In my native Australia, the Aborigines say that the BIG stories are hunting the right people to tell them. Every day, I seek to put myself in the places where the big stories – the ones that charge our lives with meaning and energy – can find me. I start the day by catching my dreams and studying where my dream self traveled during the night. I share dreams with friends in a fun, fast, high-octane way and we help each other take action to honor our dreams. I approach the world around me as a forest of living symbols, and receive life guidance through coincidence and chance encounters. Synchronicity may be a kiss from the universe, or a secret handshake, or a slap in the face. When you pay attention, you put a fizz of magic, like champagne bubbles, into the air.
Often on the road, I love to hear the stories of other people’s lives, and to help them (when necessary) break free from the little stories they may have been trapped in and live a deeper drama. My calling is one for which there is no career track in our culture – that of a dream teacher who helps people gain access to ways of seeing and healing that were prized by all of our ancestors, but have been neglected, at the expense of soul, in modern society. My great reward, in all the workshops, is to see the bright light of returning spirit in the eyes of someone who has reclaimed their vital energy and brought home the inner child who is the master of dreams and imagination.
I have a great sense of responsibility to a young woman I’ve seen in my visions – a priestess and scientist who lives seven generations ahead of me and is using the tools of Active Dreaming to repair our world. I want to do something every day that will lay a foundation for her work.
Every day possible, I write and I swim, and when all goes well, these are very similar processes for me. I swim the Australian crawl, keeping low in the water, minimizing resistance, barely raising my head as I turn it to breathe. Writing, I often slip into a similar zone. This, again, is a place where the BIG stories – the ones that most need and want to be told – slip through, to re-enchant the world.
