Oneironauticum

Welcome to the Oneironauticum

Monday, January 21, 2008

The inaugural Oneironauticum is Saturday, January 26, 2008.

Throughout 2008, the Urban Dreamscape will host monthly overnight gatherings, a series of focused slumber parties each centered around the exploration of a dream enhancement technique, including oneirogens—such as Galantamine, Calea zacatechichi, Melatonin, and silene root—Dream Practies—including Tibetan Buddhist dream practices, modern lucid dream practices, and the Toltec practice of Mitote—and the use of dream technologies such as the Nova Dreamer. In the first session, we will be exploring the effects of Galantamine, an alkaloid used to treat and modulate Alzheimer's disease that has also been found to enhance dreams and promote lucid dreaming.

The word Oneironauticum derives from the Greek oneiro, or dream, the same root as that for oneirology, the study of dreams. In the 1980s, lucid dream researcher Stephen LaBerge coined the term Oneironaut, a dream explorer, for participants in his research group. The Oneironauticum carries forward the tradition of group exploration of the universal phenomenon of dreaming.

We urge remote participation in the Oneironauticum. Join us in the dream realm on the night of the 26th! All dream participants, those who attend the Oneironauticum and those who join remotely, are welcome to post to this blog. Contact us if you’re interested.

Sweet dreams!

Great idea. Can't join you for the 26th, but will keep an eye out if you do a Calea session. I've a bag of it that's only been briefly experimented with, and I'd love a focus for the next foray. Have fun on Saturday!

What time are you napping? I'm 3 timezones ahead. Will be utilizing Smallwhekenkinder, an ancient exercise in light sleeping that often results in dreaming.
