The Dream World
The Dream World Podcast is about focusing on sleep & dreams to better your mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. It is an interactive podcast, where anyone can join the conversation about exploring consciousness. Our goal is to bridge the gap between science and spirituality and normalize talking about dreams. We cover a variety of tips and topics on how to take care of the mind and body both in waking life and in the dream world. With an open mind, we investigate stories, anecdotes, research studies, myths, facts and everything in between, in order to explore the universe & all its mysteries🧠
🪐 We love talking to oneironauts (dream travelers) and learning about their experiences with lucid dreaming and other out-of-body-experiences. ⛈ To join our community, go to https://thedreamworldpodcast.com/
💡How can we learn from our dreams and apply it to our waking life? We as humans spend an entire THIRD of our lives asleep, where we sleepwalk through our dreams just as mindlessly as we walk through life. In our dreams, we visit another dimension called The Dream World. Wake up. Pay attention.
👩🏽🚀 Dreams are gifts that have a lot to teach us. Even nightmares can be transformative. “Lucid dreaming has considerable potential for promoting personal growth and self-development, enhancing self-confidence, improving mental and physical health, facilitating creative problem solving and helping you to progress on the path to self-mastery”.-Stephen Laberge. ⚡️
💡 We often hear stories of people who’ve learned from their dreams or been inspired by them, such as Paul McCartney’s hit song “Yesterday” coming to him in a dream or of Mendeleev’s dream-inspired construction of the periodic table of elements, suggesting that dreams are more than just a byproduct of sleep.

Ryan J Burton is a Meditation instructor & the Host of a podcast called After Awakening. He has been on multiple meditation retreats that have helped him deeply understand why incorporating meditation into his lifestyle was game changer. We talk about the benefits meditation can bring to your life and emotional state. As humans, we have a series of experiences that happen in linear time, which have a beginning and an end, that makes up our life. Meditation can awaken you to be able to understand life beyond the construct of our 3d reality, and see life from a higher, more accurate perspective. We can become in touch with who we are behind our thoughts and emotions and dissolve the boundaries of what and who we think we are. Mindfulness meditation and formal sitting meditation are just two of the many ways to practice meditation. Different forms and schools of meditation have different goals, and benefits. We encourage everyone to find their own path and personal practice.
Ryan also talks about Dream Yoga, a form of meditation that can help enhance dreams and lucidity. Dream yoga is a practice of combining meditation with sleep, particularly while first falling asleep, in the hypnogogic state, or when you first wake up and experience the hypnopompia state. You experiment with dream meditations and study your mind using the medium of dreams. As you pass in and out of the border of consciousness, and dreams come and go, Dream yoga meditations can help you realize the clear light of consciousness that lies beneath it all. Ryan mentions Samadhi, the highest state of consciousness one can achieve through meditation. It consists of a yoga practitioner reaching spiritual enlightenment where the self, the mind, and the object of meditation merge together into one.
