Lucid dreaming and dream-inspired music. Our guest this week is host of the podcast “The Dreams That Shape Us.” Steven Ernenwein’s interest in dreaming started with a spontaneous lucid dream he had in college. He shares it with us and how it changed his life, moving him toward a place where he has grown deeper into trusting his inner voice and an awareness that this is a spiritual universe.

We talk about whether all of a dreams parts are parts of the dreamer or whether outside influences appear in our dreams. Plus, Steven talks about the ethics of controlling your lucid dream and describes his voyage with nightmarish characters from vanquishing them to learning to have compassion for them.

We talk a call from Ray from Santa Cruz with questions about lucid dreaming. Steven has suggestions about how to address the dream consciousness in the dream once lucid. We end by talking about his podcast The Dreams That Shape Us and about his presentation at the upcoming IASD conference in Tucson in July.

BIO: Steven Ernenwein is a dream-inspired hip hop/singer songwriter and has been a dreamworker and avid lucid dreamer for the past 17 years.
