Australian Aborigines say that the big stories are hunting the right people to tell them, like predators stalking in the bush. The trick is to put ourselves in a place where the big stories can find us.
For the big stories of your life to find you, you can put yourself in the right place by courting your dreams, paying attention to the dreamlike play of symbols and synchronicity in the world around you.
You need to step out of the tired old stories you may have inherited — from family, from other people telling you who you are, and from personal histories of failure and defeat.
As you’ll discover, once you’re free to be seized by your own bigger story that’s been seeking you, you free yourself from limiting definitions and beliefs.
And great healing becomes available, because you can now draw on the immense energy you’ve generated by serving a larger purpose and engaging in a deeper drama.
In this 7-module video course with Robert Moss, you’ll discover how, when you’re following a deeper call, the muse or creative genius — and the intelligences of the world-behind-the-world — will come to support your life projects.
As Robert will explain, a myth may introduce you, like the major arcana of the tarot, to essential members of your archetypal family — to personified forces at play in your life and your universe.
There’s a vital and vibrant connection between dreams and myths. A dream may be a personal myth, and a myth may be a collective dream.
Your dreams can be a nightly screening of gods and archetypes. A dream may be your place of encounter with a big story that’s looking for you. It may call you to a tradition about which you previously knew nothing.
Myth, by design, makes it clear that we are meant to be something more than our personal history.
— P.L. Travers, author of Mary Poppins
Because your present life dramas are connected with other personalities in other places and times, within your multidimensional family, it is not surprising that “old” gods and “dead” religions feature in your spontaneous mythology...
They show up in dreams and visions and in those moments of synchronicity when you sense, through your shivers, that a hidden hand is pushing you forward or holding you back, or making an everyday miracle.
Robert, one of the world’s most respected and beloved dream experts, has inspired hundreds of thousands around the world with his books and workshops throughout a lifetime of teaching.
Now it’s time for you to live your greatest story — by connecting with archetypal sources of courage, fulfillment, and magic through the power of dreamwork.
In this 7-part transformational intensive, Robert will guide you through the fundamental dreamwork skills you’ll need to set yourself free from old stories, experience deep healing, and live your biggest story by connecting with archetypal sources of courage, fulfillment, and magic.
This course will feature step-by-step teachings and experiential practices with Robert. Each session will build harmoniously upon the previous ones, so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need to delve into your bigger story so you can free yourself from limiting definitions and beliefs.
You live on the edges of my life
at the margin of the tame land and the wild
and your appearances are always edgy for me.
You know when to hide and when to hunt.
Men chase you on horseback, with dogs,
yet turn chicken when you turn up unannounced.
You are tricky. I doubt I’ll ever be at ease with you.
But you are a determined messenger
and a necessary link to old and sacred things.
You call women I care for to reclaim lost soul
and become foxy girls, immune to glass ceilings,
setting their own boundaries, living unbounded life.
— Robert Moss, “Brushes With the Red Fox”
You’ll begin this journey with Robert the way ancient and Indigenous wisdom says to start every day — by paying your respects to the sacred powers that open and close your paths in life...
As you’ll discover, The Gatekeeper is one of the most active archetypes in your life. It opens and closes your doors and roads.
The Gatekeeper is personified in many traditions — as the elephant-headed Ganesha in India, as Eshu/Eleggua in West Africa, as Anubis in ancient Egypt, and as Hermes and Hekate in ancient Greece.
The Trickster, the power that opens the doors in your life, is the mode the Gatekeeper adopts when you need to change, adapt, and recover your sense of humor.
Robert will explain how, if you’re set in your ways and wedded to a linear agenda, the Trickster can become your devil. However, if you’re open to the unexpected, the Trickster can be a very good friend.
The Trickster is personified in many figures. In this session, Robert will pay particular attention to its brushes with Fox. When Fox is around, the message is always pay attention...
The fox is a liminal animal, and its appearances suggest that you’re entering an edgy time.
In this first class you’ll establish a place of sanctuary and vision, a place of encounter with spiritual allies — and a launchpad for deepening explorations of the world-behind-the-world.
At the start of your journey with Robert, you’ll be invited to:
How does one learn to tell stories which please kings?
— Fatema Mernissi, Dreams of Trespass
You’ve probably heard of Scheherazade, who creates the thousand and one stories of the Arabian Nights. Her life depends on it! If she can’t come up with new entertainment, the tyrant king will kill her in the morning...
Robert will share how Scheherazade’s story is more relevant to your life than you may have realized. You need to approach each day as a fresh adventure.
You’re being called to find the right stories and tell them so that they shift people and things around you — just as Scheherazade was eventually able to heal the mind of the tyrant, transforming the world and its people.
Your dreams, like Scheherazade, give you a new story every night — if you will only remember them, then learn to take creative action to bring the new story into the daylight world.
As Robert will explain, you have a personal film production company that makes dream movies just for you.
As you move into mythic life, Robert will guide you to recognize, and revise or discard, some of the old stories you’ve been living.
In this module, you’ll be invited to dream on some often-told tales that may hold gifts for you, including:
Nothing happens in which you are not entangled in a secret manner, for everything has ordered itself around you and plays your innermost. Nothing in you is hidden to things… The stars whisper your deepest mysteries to you, and the soft valleys of the earth rescue you in a motherly womb.
— C.G. Jung, The Red Book
Most human cultures have long believed in a hidden hand that’s at work in coincidence.
Through the play of unusual or unexpected conjunctions, and natural phenomena, gods — or angels, animate forces of nature, or other dimensions — send messages to humans or actively intervene in our world.
Jung came to believe that we move through life within a “circumambient atmosphere” that connects us to the realms of gods and archetypes, generating synchronistic phenomena.
Robert will explain how to navigate your life through synchronicity — and awaken to the deeper forces at play beyond the curtain of everyday perception with the help of two masters of the game, Jung and Mark Twain.
Jung not only invented the word “synchronicity,” he lived by it. He was constantly alive to the oracles all around him.
When Jung worked with a patient, he followed patterns of wind and water over the lake, the appearance of a fox on a wooded path, or a green-gold flying beetle at the window...
To Jung, the circumambient atmosphere was charged by the often-unacknowledged archetypes that travel with us, generating synchronistic events.
Mark Twain is famous as a humorist, sage, prolific author, and profound student of the human condition. He was more than an observer of coincidence — he used it as a daily source of guidance and actively experimented with inviting synchronous events.
In this module, you’ll:
Any goddess can be referred to in kenning by associating her characteristics, possessions, activities, or family members with the name of another goddess.
— Snorri Sturluson, Skáldskaparmál (The Language of Poetry)
The above statement, from one of the primary sources on the Norse goddesses and gods, lights a fire in the head. If all the goddesses can be called by each other’s names, it would seem they are all aspects of the Great Goddess.
Robert will share the story of the goddess Vanadis, the Great Goddess of the Vanir, better known to the world as Freyja...
Also known as Shining Sea, Flax, Sow, the Giver, and Mask, she flies on falcon wings — when not riding in a chariot drawn by cats, or on the back of a wild boar.
As Robert will explain, perhaps Freyja is also Gullveig, the “golden” goddess who was toasted on spears by the patriarchal Indo-European gods. She was burned three times — reborn each time stronger and brighter, to create the magic of seidr forbidden to men (although Odin slips in).
In the North, the birds of the Goddess are the falcon, the raven, and the swan. Do you have a bird ally that can lend you its vision and its wings? Perhaps you feel close to other birds — the eagle or the hummingbird, the woodpecker or the heron. Every bird, like every aspect of the Goddess, has its own magic.
In this class, you’ll:
We live by stories. Our first and best teachers, in our lives and in the evolution of our kind, instruct and inspire by telling stories. Story is our shortest route to the meaning of things, and our easiest way to remember and carry the meaning we discover. A good story lives inside and outside time, and gives us keys to a world of truth beyond the world of fact.
— Robert Moss, Growing Big Dreams
Merlin has a thousand faces. He’s a magician, enchanter, poet, trickster, prophet, wise or scheming adviser to kings — and the hero or antihero of countless dramas.
Merlin is a dreamer, though in some of the ages in which he was remembered this was no term of praise. In Shakespeare’s King Henry IV, Hotspur sneers at Welsh boasts about “the dreamer Merlin and his prophecies” and “such a deal of skimble-skamble stuff.”
Merlin’s company is that of the awenyddion, or “inspired ones,” of whom Gerald of Wales wrote that “their gifts are usually conferred upon them in dreams.”
Merlin is a shaman, perhaps the very model of a shaman of the West. He is at home with the trees; he finds sanctuary inside an ancient apple tree, and feeds on apples and nuts. He knows the animals and can take their forms. He is a master of story, poetry, and song, through which bardic arts he can redefine and so remake the world around him.
You likely dream of Merlin, and it may be that he brings dreams to you.
Merlin travels with a magic orchard that goes with him everywhere. If you’re very lucky, he may offer you an apple, either silver or gold. When you bite down, you’ll taste not only the sweet juice of the apple, but the heady power of a story that will inspire you and give juice to your life.
In this class, Robert will invite you to:
Let’s see... I’m a man on Wednesday and Friday, a woman on Sunday and Thursday, and I have the rest of the time off for independent study. Actually... this is somewhat more complicated. Each life is lived in a different area of time to which various designations are given. As Lydia I’m in the twentieth century, as Josef in the seventeenth, as Ma-ah in 35,000 B.C., and as Proteus in the twenty-third century A.D.
— Jane Roberts, The Education of Oversoul Seven
The stories that bind us are not only from our current lives and family relations. In the larger universe, our present dramas may be related to those of personalities living in other times...
Robert will explain how these personalities living in other times can include ancestors of your bloodline, of the lands where you live and travel, and your soul family across time and place.
At this point in your journey, you’ll be ready to discover that you stand at the center of all times — and need not be bound by past histories, or karma you’ve acquired in your present or past lives.
Jane Roberts and Seth (who she called the “interdimensional teacher”) are excellent guides to this territory.
As you study the core teachings of Seth and Jane Roberts’ own Oversoul Seven series, you’ll:
If you’re going to bring something new into your world, find the field you will marry, as the poet marries language, as the artist marries color and texture, as the chef marries taste and aroma, as the swimmer marries the water.
— Robert Moss, Sidewalk Oracles
A kairomancer is someone who is poised to recognize and take action in the kairos moment of synchronicity when the universe gets personal, time works differently, and you feel the presence of the powers of the invisible world.
To follow the way of the kairomancer, you need to trust your feelings as you walk the roads of this world, develop your personal science of shivers, and recognize that you know far more than you hold on the surface of consciousness.
As Robert will explain, you’ll need to take dreams more literally and the events of waking life more symbolically. You’ll need to take care of your poetic health, reading what rhymes in a day, or a season...
Expect the unexpected, make friends with surprises, and never miss that special moment.
In your final class, you’ll play some wonderful new games and bring alive more of the kairomancer’s way of conscious, creative living:
In addition to Robert’s transformative 7-module virtual course, you’ll receive these powerful bonuses to complement the course and take your understanding and practice to an even deeper level.
Dreamwork can help you imagine and live a new story for your life — and transmute fear into self-compassion, courage, and better understanding of yourself and others. These sessions can help you reframe and work through painful experiences, ease stress, and provide new perspectives on your challenges — and start living the life your soul intended for you. You’ll receive Growing Big Dreams, hosted by Kimberly R. Mascaro, PhD; Dreaming the Soul Back Home, hosted by Rodger Kamenetz; and Active Dreaming to Heal Our Relations With the Departed and Meet Our Soul Families, hosted by Susan Audrey.
The ancestors are calling, calling: ancestors of your bloodlines, of the lands where you live or travel, and of your soul family across time and place. In this video dialogue, Robert Moss and Lisa Bonnice will introduce you to the exciting practice of dream archaeology to access the living past, so you can enter into direct communication with the keepers of ancestral wisdom and heal collective and cultural soul loss. You’ll reach across time to heal ancestral wounds, discharge karmic burdens, reclaim ancient rituals — and much more.
Listen in as Robert talks with Valgerður Bjarnadóttir, celebrated Icelandic scholar, dream archaeologist, and author. Valgerður’s dreams led her to embark on a 30-year journey to unveil the true face of Freyja, the Great Goddess of Norse and Icelandic tradition, and the sacred practices of the ancient seeresses. Rolling back the overlay of patriarchal and clerical prejudice, she succeeded in releasing the beating heart of a Goddess tradition of deep relevance to our lives and our healing today.
Kairomancy is the art of navigating by synchronicity. In this powerful teaching, Robert shares how the kairomancer is poised to recognize and act in those special kairos moments of “opportunity time” when the universe becomes personal and you feel the play of deeper forces beyond the obvious world. Robert encourages you to follow this path with stories from his own life and from two masters of the game, beloved humorist and writer Mark Twain, and depth psychologist Carl Jung.
In Robert’s popular course Adventures for Healing in the Dreamtime, he led the way on wild dream adventures in imaginal and mythic realms to places of healing, initiation, and creation. He shared how to apply gifts from the dreamworld to empower your everyday life and shine through the dark times. Join him on these two powerful journeys from the course, Journey for Dream Healing With the Fast-Flowing Goddess and Journey to Find Your Songlines.
Active Dreaming is Robert’s original meld of dreamwork and shamanic journeying. Your Active Dreaming repertoire will be enriched by these tools for deepening your experience. Your toolkit includes three powerful audio recordings: Drumming Track for Shamanic Dreamers, The Lightning Process for Sharing Dreams & Life Stories (with transcript), and Creative Journaling (with transcript).
Robert invites you to step into the mythic embrace of the Goddess of a Thousand Faces. Reading a selection of his own poems, including “Lines for the Marriage of Persephone and Hades,” he also reads some of his adaptations of ancient hymns to Inanna, Isis, and other goddesses, such as “Hathor Placed Joy in My Heart.” He closes by offering roadside assistance for your soul journey through his long poem, “Notes for the Road.”

This is my fourth course with Robert Moss. Each one has been so enriching and this — what a total transformational experience for me — being able to take that journey and walk beyond the veil has been uplifting and healing. Robert has a power to use imagery, words, and sound to teach and lead you into unexpected places and interactions. I am very much looking forward to applying the methods both on a personal and practice level.
— Denise Flinchbaugh, Elizabeth, Colorado
Robert is an inspiring and gently charismatic course leader, who is able to draw on an extraordinary wealth of eclectic knowledge and wisdom. There is a sense of being guided protectively into the unknown and being inspired to dare to visualise a whole world existing in another dimension. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to aspiring shamanic dreamers!
— Jane Tarlo, Brighton, United Kingdom
This wonderful course provided me with enough material to stay happily connected and engaged for the rest of my days! It has given me a structure for encouraging and recording the dreams I have collected over the years. Encouraging waking dreams to also be recorded left me feeling quite rich indeed, for this is something I have not previously encouraged in my life. This new doorway opened more expansion into my consciousness than I ever had imagined for myself. Our household and community have always shared our dreams, Robert’s methods for recall and naming and directing curiosity and following up with action have provided much depth to our sharing now and into the future. All of my friends are now being gifted with empty journals and Robert’s books so we can embark on journeys together. I look forward to the continued cache of dreams and connection with the Facebook group, and have felt very moved by the wealth of spirit in the community that surrounds Robert and his work from all over the globe. The breakout groups are quite profound and uplifting in these times when it feels like there is so much division. I highly recommend Robert’s course to anyone looking for experiences of inner self without judgment, and exploration of inner possibilities transcending time and space!
— Ava Jason, Ashby, Massachusetts
I don’t think I can express enough my appreciation for being able to access such profound and game-changing teachings directly from Robert Moss without attending in person! The Facebook community hosted by Shift that accompanied the course facilitated an amazing supportive shared experience that has resulted in new friendships and expanded awareness. The Shift Network hosts, especially the main host, Sherri, were very friendly and accommodating, which allowed for the classes to be run very smoothly and efficiently. A wonderful experience!
— Cheryl, Ontario, Canada
Perhaps the most important thing I gained from this course was realizing that there are many other dreamers out there who, like me, consciously and actively use their dream images and messages for personal and collective growth. It was uplifting to feel part of a bigger dream family, and to support and encourage one another to delve even deeper into both the mysteries and revelations found in the realms of imagination. The shamanic journeys offered in the course brought insights and deepened my connection to my ancestors. I learned so much from the knowledge shared. Thank you!
— Karen Clare Hanrahan, Bavaria, Germany
Robert Moss is a charismatic and engaging teacher. This course has opened my heart and soul to the experience of journeying with a community of wonderful and loving dreamers!

— Shane Wymer, Grand Rapids, Michigan
Robert Moss has the unique ability to bring to life the core concepts promised in the course description. There is just something magical that he is able to create for us. He works with an open heart and weaves his vast background of experience and intellect into every session. With his soothing voice and direct eye contact, I often felt as though he was speaking just to me. Amazing. I was able to awaken my own abilities through his shared insights.
— Mary Pike, Florida
Robert has a rich well of stories to tell, not only from his own dreams and experiences, but from the many beautiful dreamers in his previous live and online workshops, retreats, and classes. He is a walking fount of world cultures, healing rituals, literature, and mythologies, and he has an incredible talent for creating fresh Imaginal Realms, landscapes, cities, and buildings for students to enter into. He has inspired and encouraged me to go deeper into the Imaginal Realm, and to continue writing and illustrating my own dream journal. I was amazed at how generous and present he was in the private Facebook group, reacting to and commenting on so many dreamers’ dreams and offering them insight every day.

“I’ve never seen a course so well put together ever...”
I had never participated before in an online course. The packaging, presentation, inclusion, and Facebook postings created a wonderful, safe cocoon within which to participate. I’ve never seen a course so well put together ever — not in all the years of taking college classes — and I had my doubts about doing an online course. The wealth of organization and ease of learning materials and support made this fun as well.
