Dreams, Visions, & Realities

  • Does “conscious dreaming” open the door to a heightened level of awareness?
  • Discover the exciting interface between Western scientific and Australian aboriginal notions of “dreaming.”
Where does your consciousness “go” at night when you sleep? For many Western psychologists, dreaming provides an opportunity for the rational mind to encounter its unconscious intuitions, associations, and inner guidance — an awareness not easily accessible during our highly-structured “awake” lives.

For many indigenous cultures, dreaming is a way of being that is always informed by a spiritual presence. In the Aboriginal concept of “The Dreaming,” all life exists within a state that blends past, present and future simultaneously. In this GLOBAL SPIRIT program, host Phil Cousineau presents different interpretations and domains of dreaming — blending recent scientific discoveries from an American dream specialist with rare insights on the native wisdom of “The Dreamtime” by an Australian Aboriginal elder.

This program features Yidumduma Bill Harney, an Aboriginal elder, master storyteller, painter, and highly-respected Wardaman Dreamtime authority, and Dr. Stephen Aizenstat, a dream specialist, explains how the dreamer’s symbols and archetypes can reveal the hidden intelligence within a dream, or what he calls: “Nature’s dreaming.”

Program Guests

Yidumduma Bill Harney
Yidumduma Bill Harney is a master storyteller, songman, didjeridoo player/maker, painter, and writer. All of his art forms have the deepest roots in the celebration of his Wardaman Aboriginal heritage and his unique ability to “walk in both worlds,” as a successful Aboriginal businessman, actively working to win the traditional lands back to continue the education of his grandchildren, and sharing his culture with hundreds of world visitors to his art sites. Bill grew up in the “Bush University,” undergoing the fullest Wardaman ceremonial traditions and education, and he is the last fully initiated male custodian of his people. Bill has been formally acknowledged as one of “Australia’s living national treasures.”
