Alan Asta

"I have a memory of myself from my early years. I think I was hardly three or four. I was sitting in an armchair in our summer house in Savudrija. I closed my eyes half-way, then fell asleep and moved out of my body. This unusual discovery filled me with courage and persistence that I used during my following attempts. Since I was spending the summers with my peaceful grandparents, I had infinite undisturbed time to practice. The most interesting discovery was the fact, that in the out-of-body state, I could walk through walls entirely uninterrupted, and that the outside world was far more colourful than usual. I could see how the plants communicate with one another, using something like threads of light. The sounds, which accompanied those journeys, were unusually loud and resembled chirps, or fluttering, or maybe the mixture of both…"

Alan dedicated his entire life to the altered states of consciousness and intends to continue to do so in the future. He says he wouldn't easily give up something he believes to be as important as life itself.

While researching the altered states of consciousness, he traveled to Asia, Australia, America, and the Pacific Islands. He worked with the »plants of power« and experienced different rituals and described his research in the book "Memories from the other side", published in 1996.

GROUP DREAMING - SUCCESSES, PITFALLS and ILLUSIONS

The lecture will present in detail the topic of joint dreaming: its meaning, how to achieve it and how to distinguish between real and fake joint dreaming.

We will clarify concepts that are important for joint dreaming, for instance: how to find crossings into another world, how to use them, how to handle attention in joint dreaming. We will also discuss the pitfalls and dangers of joint dreaming. We will look into the topic of alternative attention – what it brings along and how the things we do there are mirrored here and vice versa.

Everything in joint dreaming revolves around interpersonal relationships, sensations, people, plants, animals, wind, rock, clouds... The lecture will touch on the topic of entering into relationships with people, how we nurture them, how far we are prepared to go... This is indeed the topic that is in the mirror of the altered state of consciousness the most –if not the only– important one and that is VITAL in advanced techniques of joint dreaming.

During the fusion of dreams two souls completely expose themselves. Once the actual collision and merging of two dreams occurs, our consciousness faces the insurmountable hurdle of the conceptual world of Western civilisation. Who would actually dare to face this daemon?

Join us, it will be interesting...
