Companioning the dying through lucid dreams. Our guest shares some of her experiences of psychopompic dreaming. Starting when she was 9 or 10 she would dream of being in a classroom where she learned how to change the dream. Several years later she describes her first experience of helping a dying person happened several years later when she found herself in a dream falling together with a woman who was terrified. She was able to slow their fall by dreaming up first n umbrella then a parachute letting the woman land softly in a place where friends were waiting to greet her. She shares several such stories (including one in which she was awake but meditating) and says that in the liminal space between life and death, our dreaming muscles are essential when the physical world falls away. Jeanne describes some of the work of Allan Kellehear in his book Experiences Near Death: Beyond Medicine and Religion, saying that near death experiences vary across cultures, but the one thing in common is that the dying person is always being helped as they approach that threshold.Rick shares a dream in which one of his beloved dogs is killed, and Max asks whether Jeanne feels prepared when she has these experiences of if she is just winging it. We muse over Tibetan Dream Yoga and the idea that we are more open to these liminal spaces when we are dreaming and marveling over the rich variety of metaphors for dying that people experience.Jeanne also appeared on the Dream Journal in August 2021.

Guiding Spirits Home with Jeanne Van Bronkhorst

Being with the dying challenges us to be more fully ourselves and we can support our loved ones by listening to their experiences of dreams and visions. Jeanne starts out by sharing a dream premonition she had as a child which woke her up to the power of dreams. Jeanne describes how to tell the difference between dreams and hallucinations. We also talk about visitation dreams and grief dreams. All of these kinds of dreams can help the dying person's family as well as the dying person themselves.We touch into topics including Tibetan Dream Yoga, the hard problem of consciousness, awareness-based meditation, reconciliation with our beloved deceased and the soul. We take a last minute call from Amanda who asks about the dreams of people with Alzheimer's.Bio: Jeanne Van Bronkhorst is a non-fiction writer on dreams and end-of-life care. She has graduate degrees in psychology and social work, and has worked with people facing life-threatening illness for more than twenty years as a hospice social worker, grief counselor, and now as a volunteer. She is the author of Dreams at the Threshold: Guidance, Comfort and Healing at the End of Life (Llewellyn 2015), and Premonitions in Daily Life (Llewellyn 2013). She is working on a new book about the challenge of saying goodbye to someone we love, and what can help us speak from our hearts. She has always been a strong dreamer and her early lucid, precognitive, and mutual dreams led her to psychology and then end-of-life care. Now she writes books about end-of-life care and dreams, and volunteers at a children's hospice, where she also teaches volunteers and staff about dreams. She lives in Toronto with her partner of 35 years and is on the Board of Directors for the International Association for the Study of Dreams.Contact Jeanne through her webpage: www.JeanneVanBronkhorst.comWe play clips from the following two guest-selected songs: Erik Satie: Gnossiennes -4.
