Mapping Your Dreams With Theosophy

In this meeting of the Boston Dreamers, we will learn a new approach to understanding the worlds of dreaming by using Theosophy. The Theosophical Society is a spiritual research tradition that was founded in 1875 by Helena Blavatsky and friends, and further developed in the 20th century by such famous names as Annie Besant, C. W. Leadbeater, and Rudolf Steiner. Many of our modern concepts of spiritual evolution, such as chakras and auras and the astral plane, were adapted from Eastern traditions by Theosophical students.

Carl Schroeder will give a talk on the research he is doing into new applications of Theosophy for the categorizing and mapping of dreams. What are the differences between dreams on the astral and mental planes? How can we look for our spiritual guides? Where do the heavenly beings reside? Particular attention will be given to the planes of existence, and how dreams in different energy bodies (out-of-body experiences) support different types of contact with the higher realms of our spiritual evolution.

Carl is currently writing a book on the topic with the help of his own lucid dream friends, so questions will be welcomed. You’re encouraged to think back on some of the most important and unusual dreams you've ever had, and bring highlights for sharing and comparing with the examples of major dream types. For an outline of his theories, see http://www.soulstirring.org/cosmicdocent/

Carl Schroeder is an engineer by trade and a mystic at heart. He runs the annual Mystical Art and Talent Show in Cambridge every October, for details on participating see http://www.soulstirring.org/ - Carl has studied his dreams for over twenty years, and written several websites from the mystical perspective of life including film reviews at http://www.mysticalmovieguide.com/ and essays and art at http://www.astralresearch.org/
