Integral Deep Listening is a type of dream yoga that notes the dreamlike nature of life and emphasizes lucidity in whatever state of consciousness you happen to be in at the moment. If you are a lucid dreamer, what you perceive in your lucid dreams depends on your waking level of lucidity, because that is the “self” that perceives your lucid dreams. If you want to be lucid in your lucid dreams, you need to wake up or enlighten your waking sense of who you are. The key to meaningful lucid dreaming and lucid deep sleep, or nidra yoga, is lucid living, or learning to wake up in this moment, in your waking life. The degree of wakefulness of your ordinary, everyday mind determines the clarity of your consciousness in all other states, including hypnotic, shamanic, mystical, near death experiences, and life after death.

There currently exist many excellent tools for lucid dreaming as well as instruction in nidra yoga, but the purpose of IDL is broader. It is designed to support an integral approach to increasing your lucidity in any and all states. Your childhood scripting, culture and worldview is a form of delusional groupthink. The good news is that you can wake up out of it and create a culture of friends and associates who are committed to doing the same. It is more important now than ever that we learn to do so and teach those around us, particularly children, how to find and follow their life compass. IDL is committed to teaching not only spiritual seekers but children and their caregivers, fun and simple tools for transforming the world one person at a time, through increasing personal wakefulness and enlightenment.
