Steven E Popp is an avid dream enthusiast, dedicated to his inner world. Since he is also a gardener and a semi-retired horticulturist, perhaps it’s inevitable that he is especially sensitive to the landscapes of his dreams, something most of us ignore. We talk about his sand table creations which he calls Dreamscapes (photos below). Plus we get into his Tibetan Dream yoga practice and meditation. After the break, we talk about lucid dreaming with Max, and then Steve tells us about his earliest dreams, some of which seem to date from before birth. Near the end of the show we take a call from Diane of Santa Cruz who also describes a dream that seems to date from before birth as well.

BIO: Steven E. Popp is a horticulturist and the owner of Green Tiger Garden nursery on the California Central Coast and co-host of the popular In the Garden show which precedes the dream journal on KSQD. He is a practicing Buddhist, a Tibetan dream yogi, and a lucid dreamer. He creates fantastical sand sculptures based on his dreams, calling them ‘Dreamed of Landscapes” or “Dreamscapes.”
