Michael Lamberti Insight Through Meditation This dream occurred during a period when I was focused on meditating in my lucid dreams. I don‘t think I had healing on my mind at all that night. I’m lucid and standing on a big, full cardboard box looking at beautiful mountains. I remember I want to…

By Brian Stanton © 2015 Several months ago, I retreated to my parents‘ cabin in West Virginia to heal myself. I‘d been leveled by a foodborne illness and had the stitches to prove it.

By Fiona Reynolds © 2015 I met a stranger in a landscape. The ground in the landscape was immensely colourful, the sky was a uniform semi-translucent blue. The hooded, cloaked stranger approached over the brow of a hill. I was hesitant at first, not sure if I should be worried by this character, so I…
