A lucid dreaming protocol for archaeological fieldwork?? Yes my friend, that would very much “be of interest.”

His main treatise is "The Master and His Emissary." But he wrote a 30 page synopsis of it called "Ways of Attending - How our Divided Brain constructs the World," which is really helpful and quite clear in stating that the left brain has taken control of our world, when it is the right side that should lead instead. I think you'll love it.

I'm curious why you stopped being an archeologist. Was it academia blues, or just needing to expand beyond?

Lower back pain mostly. Seriously it’s a tough life. Was enjoyable for about a decade but then my heart got called to dream research

"Defocalizing is difficult to do. Our entire culture is set against it."

That's bc we are in a left-brain dominant culture and the left-brain focuses on the parts not the whole; you are clearly moving in the direction of right-brain leading. Relaxed seeing is the only way to go.

Are you familiar with Iain Mcgilchrist's work?

I am curious about your protocol, as its coming from a feeling of softness in you.
