D-SETI Dreamwork is an alternative to memory recovery hypnosis used by alien abduction researcher. It is not for everyone and does not necessarily lead to memory recovery at all. Rather, it honors the experience of ET/NHI missing time as a shamanic calling that is responded to through hypnosis. It is based in on my certification in Depth Hypnosis and Beyond Quantum Healing, as well as training and education in my MA in East-West Psychology at CIIS.
My dreamwork services are for more than ET contact or SETI. I often work with people about lucid dreams, Western esoteric practices, or their exploration of ET/NHI contact topics. Some people schedule recurrent time with me, which I hold as a practice of spiritual counselling. Some people want to explore a memory of contact. Some people just feel called and are responding to synchronicity.
My dreamwork and hypnosis services start with a free and no-obligation consultation, in which we can meet each other and discuss your inquiry. I typically recommend a series of 3 90-minute sessions or a single 3-5 hour session, which goes through a methodical and slow process to build rapport and document our work. My sessions are offered by sliding-scale donation, which you pay via credit card (no PayPal account necessary) after I provide you with a link to download the session recording.
Please email me if you have any questions or use this form to schedule your consultation.
FAQ
Dreamwork, hypnosis, and ET/NHI contact narratives are sometimes very confusing. It’s okay to not know what hypnosis or dreamwork is. It’s okay you might not remember your dreams. It’s okay that you think ET/NHI contact might be silly or a psy-op.
Dreamwork is not about believing any one thing, uncovering any one truth, or accomplishing any one goal. It is not therapy, although it can be therapeutic. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions through the Contact page.
What is dreamwork?
Dreamwork is the practice of working with dreams. Typically, it involves a process, tradition, guide, facilitator, priest, therapist, etc. You naturally do dreamwork when you share your dream with a partner, ask about its meaning, and wonder if you should take some action, like talking to the person you dreamed about. There are several definitions of that are particularly relevant for D-SETI Dreamwork.
First, D-SETI Dreamwork looks to the ancient Greek practice of dream incubation that is expressed through the traditions related to Asclepius, the god of dreams and medicine. These traditions represent a mystical and shamanic legacy from which Western science arose, but then ignored. For example, I understand the Socratic Myths to be archetypal examples of Western dreamwork.
Second, D-SETI looks to the definition of hypnotic dreams, especially through Deidre Barrett’s dissertation. Barrett used hypnosis to induce dream-like trances, suggesting to the hypnotee that they have a dream. She then compared the content of the reports. To my eyes, this use of hypnosis is the most pure and archetypal use of hypnosis, from which the various models of regression hypnosis unconsciously derive.
Third, D-SETI looks to contemporary dreamwork traditions that derive from Kilton Stewart’s influence, which intersected with academic dreamwork but caused controversy. Stewart, like Carlos Castenda, wrote a fiction about another culture regarding real imaginal things. This definition of dreamwork opens D-SETI up to the cultural practice of working with dreams, regardless if the literary basis derives from fiction.
There are many other influences on D-SETI Dreamwork, which include Carl Jung and Michael Harner. D-SETI looks to the International Association of the Study of Dreams for ethical guidelines in dreamwork practice and education.
Is D-SETI Dreamwork as modality or special type of dreamwork?
Yes and no. I was trained in Depth Hypnosis, Beyond Quantum healing, and educated about a lot of psycho-spiritual modalities. I’ve synthesized it into my practice and I’ve honed it down to a repeatable process that I’ve documented in a draft process definition document and in a training curriculum (see D-SETI Dreamwork Process).
How is dreamwork like hypnosis?
D-SETI Dreamwork uses hypnosis to induce a trance and offer the suggestion to have a dreamlike experience that responds to our intentions. However, dreamwork in general does not need to involve hypnosis. You could tell stories, act dreams out, make art, or whatever to work with the dream.
How is D-SETI Dreamwork an alternative to UFO missing time regression?
I am trained in Depth Hypnosis and Beyond Quantum Healing, which offer psycho-spiritual practices like past life regression or age regression. Both trainings understand the session to be like a spiritual sacrament, suggesting that the experience is more for inner healing than investigation. However, many experiencers skip over the small text and spiritual words, assuming they already know how hypnosis works because they’ve seen videos online or read abduction literature.
The actual practice of hypnosis used to generate testimonies of alien encounters is quite controversial. Most of my writing follows the edge of false memory risk in alien research. I’ve written this all out in Experiencer’s Guide to Hypnosis and False Memory, the only thing you need to know is that the abduction researchers used at least two distinct types of hypnosis. First, the more psycho-spiritual dream-like trance hypnosis. Second, forensic and clinical hypnosis for memory recovery. The trouble happened when John E. Mack used the term hypnosis in the 1990s because he meant the spiritual-trance type of hypnosis, but everyone assumed he meant the forensic clinical type of hypnosis because he was head of Harvard Psychiatry. We assumed he learned his medical training informed his hypnosis practice, but actually was trained by Budd Hopkins.
I’ve can offer the same experience as the abduction researchers, but I interpret it differently. I know that researchers can easily induce false memories through dream interpretation. I know that hypnosis typically produces dream-like experiences. I know that most abductions are highly similar to dreams and happen in similar spaces. My hypothesis is that these are special types of dreams that are actually real in some psycho-spiritual way.
How D-SETI Dreamwork Works
The process is always individual. We build rapport where you are at. If you want to send me pages of dreams, I’ll receive them. If you want to message on Reddit, let me know. If you have a question about me or my work, ask it. I don’t assume you read any of my work. You don’t need to.
If you and I work together, there’s already some type of connection. It’s one of the magical parts of my work and is uncanny to me. People reach out to me because their dreams tell them, because a video of mine shows up on their feed and there’s some omen or connection that drives them forward.
Start with a free and no obligation consultation
If you are interested in doing dreamwork with me or sharing your story with me for research, I would love to talk with you. I offer free and no-obligation conversations for us to just chat about working together and to share stories. It is one of my favorite parts of DSETI.
I offer lengthy initial conversations because you probably have a story that you’re digesting, either memories or intuitions of dreams and encounters, or else an interest in these topics in general. Many people haven’t had a chance to really process their stories with another person who knows what you’re talking about and won’t judge you.
It needs to be free and no-obligation because we’re building rapport. You need to trust me with your story, which defines your reality at some level to your dreaming mind.
Sliding-scale donation-based service offering
My services are offered by sliding-scale donations, based on a rate of 90 USD per 90 minute session, which I will “discount” in packages or recurrent scheduling ($60 per session when recurrent). The donation expectation for half day sessions (quantum sessions) is 299 USD. I will send you a donation link after the session, along with links to our recording (if desired). This process is modeled after my first mentor in Core Shamanism, Tereza Morena.
My work involves dream shamanism, which involves respecting the dream and its characters as if they are real, while learning to discern the reality and meaning of a variety of dreams. My dream guides insist that I offer this service in this way so that cash is not a barrier.
I generally commit to an initial series of sessions for any donation level, although I may ask for permission to publish future writing on our sessions or inquiry together, which I understand as the spiritual practice of testifying.
Decide a path: series of sessions or mega session
Your first encounter with me and D-SETI Dreamwork usually involves three steps, which you can do either in a single half-day session or through a series of 1.5 hour sessions. The half day session is based on the Beyond Quantum Healing session format, while the series of session is based on the Depth Hypnosis format.
The Three Steps of DSETI Dreamwork
We’ll talk about the process together, so I won’t say too much now. There are three steps that I like to take with everyone to build rapport and make both of us feel very safe in approaching the session. Typically, it takes 2-4 hours before I will invite you into a trance that has no goal beyond safely building rapport.
- Life story as dream, in which you tell your story and we work with it like a dream
- First trance, in which we build rapport in the hypnotic trance
- Intentional dreamwork session, in which we perform action to accomplish your intention in the trance
