#146 The Imagination Matrix (with Dr. Stephen Aizenstat)

Dr. Stephen Aizenstat has devoted his life to understanding the profound wisdom and healing power that exists within our dreams and imaginations. “Dream tending” is a process he developed that can help us work with our own dreams and the dreams of the world around us to see the consciousness that exists in all things, and to utilize them as a source of strength, insight, and potential.

In his recent book, “The Imagination Matrix”, Dr. Aizenstat offers a comprehensive, step-by-step exploration of how we can tap into these deeper layers of the psyche to bring more beauty, meaning, and potential to our lives and communities. He believes that these deeper realms of the psyche contain an innate intelligence beyond the rational mind. In accessing this through development of our sense of wonder, we are able to unlock all manner of creativity, innovation, and new possibilities for personal growth and transformation.

Dr. Aizenstat joins us under the dome to discuss the importance of curiosity, befriending our inner critics, the influence of Joseph Campbell, and the transformative impact of engaging with our dreams to overcome fear and unearth new possibilities.


"Concordance [Working backward in sleep]" by Mei-mei Berssenbrugge

Working backward in sleep, the
last thing you numbed to is what
wakes you. 

What if that image were Eros as 
words?

What would it be like if you
contemplated my words and I felt
you?

Animals, an owl, frog, open their 
eyes, and a mirror forms on the
ground.

When insight comes in a dream,
and events the next day
illuminate it, this begins your
streaming consciousness,
synchronicity, asymptotic lines
of the flights of concordances. 

An owl opens its eyes in deep
woods. 

For the first time, I write and you
don't know me. 

Milkweed I touch floats.
