SHAMANIC DREAMS, A-F
Shamanic dreams in the broadest sense: vision quests, out of body experiences, meeting and befriending guides, guardians, and other spirits; empowered and self-aware dream-states like lucidity (but not limited to it), healing others or taking responsibility for community health, using the dreamstate to practice difficult skills, and dreams with clear messages from guardian spirits about life-decisions. I admit that's a mouthful! Sounds too diverse to mean a thing, but in practice, as you read these, you'll find (as shamans have for centuries) that they do form a whole. Empowered dreamers who take responsibility for more than their immediate concerns--not a bad pan-cultural definition of a shaman!
Shamans is a narrower list of dreams on traditional shamans and practices. Traditional by my tricksterish standards, at least.
