Shamanism is the oldest form of communicating and healing. It probably resides in all of us.

I am sure that there is a lot more going on in the objective real world than we can monitor with our five senses. I think dreams allow us to engage with the real world and monitor the way it is acting on us.

Stories that are real, that create you, rather than be created by you, are powerful.

I think both science and art are impelled by curiosity: What's really happening? How do things really function? How can I really engage with the world around me? These are questions that artists and scientists both ask.

I know I have different priorities when I am close to dreaming and coming out of dreaming. I notice I am connected to people in a different way, and connected to the earth. For me, I have exactly the same emotional responses when I go through into shamanic trance.

I like the way dreams present themselves as words and images that are trying to get your attention using your model-making brain's ability to make up stories.
