Manta-Squid
Dreamed 1986/3/13 by Wayan
I'm reading William Domhoff's The Mystique Of Dreams. He says Senoi work is a fraud. I've tried this practice--it pushes you to confront dream figures, threats and fears, never backing down, and going for any desire you recognize, no matter how taboo. Domhoff found the practice was made up around 1930 by a white guy who claimed it was the ancient shamanic tradition of the Senoi people in Malaysia. It wasn't, and they're mad about it. Don't want credit for promoting theft, incest, rape and murder--in dreams or out.
I ask my dreams to comment on Domhoff's exposé. Senoi work's origin was a hoax, but parentage isn't practice--does that make the technique invalid?
My dreams answer.
