Thus, snakes are evil, spiders are creepy, rats are dirty, and so on. As Dawn Baumann Brunke explains, the animals we fear or dislike can help us to recognise our Shadow: the hated, abandoned, judged, and denied aspects of ourselves. As teachers and guides, shadow animals can help us to reclaim the inner strengths, abilities, and wisdom that we have forgotten or disowned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBrunke explores the lessons of numerous shadow animals, including those that many think of as shadowy, such as snakes and bats, as well as those that only seem shadowy to some, such as dogs, cats, birds, and horses. Though shadow animals may initially appear frightening, they offer profound healing and expert guidance in helping us identify, learn from, and embrace our shadow selves.

Through dreaming, we open a gateway to our inner world. Through lucid dreaming, we open to conscious interaction with the surroundings, happenings, and living beings within the dreamscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOver many years, animal communicator Dawn Baumann Brunke dreamed of polar bears. One night, a lucid dream triggered the realisation that not only was she dreaming of a living polar bear, but also that the polar bear was dreaming of her. Through shared dream encounters, Brunke became adept at connecting with the bear both while asleep and awake. Together, they explored nonphysical locales where lucid dreamers meet to join in consciousness and co-dream together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRecounting the dreams she had with polar bears as well as with a council of spirit bears, Brunke presents techniques she learned to enter shared dreamscapes and form meaningful dream relationships with other species. Brunke also examines how our assumptions about polar bears, or any animal, can teach us about ourselves. As we awaken to the wisdom of our dreams, we begin to heal ourselves and our Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSharing ways to recall dreams and engage lucid dream awareness, Brunke shows how dreamwork can help us forge deeper connections with the natural world and move more consciously in planetary evolution with all beings. Guided by the polar bears in her dreams, the sacred guardians of North Pole evolutionary energy, Brunke reveals how we can each dream ourselves awake and, with animal companions and guides, help dream a new world into being.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46868395917548,"sku":"9781591431831","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/16852653482754.jpg?v=1759756722"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/dawn-baumann-brunke.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
