About the Author Robert Moss was born in Australia, and that is where his fascination with the dreamworlds began. He survived three near-death experiences in childhood and first learned the ways of atraditional dreaming people through his friendship with Aborigines. He has been described as having succeeded in reincarnating himself several times in his present lifetime. He has been a professor of ancient history,aforeign correspondentand magazineeditor,aradio show hostand a bestselling novelist. When he moved to upstate New York in the mid-s, he started dreaming in a language he did not know that proved to be an archaic form of Mohawk. Moss studied the language and spiritual practices of the Iroquois to interpret his dreamsand the voice of an ancient arendiwanen (“woman of power”) who was speaking through them. The life-changing experiences of this timeset him on a path for which thereis no career track in Western society: the path of a dream teacher. He created a new approach to dreamwork, healing, and active imagination that hecallsActive Dreaming.Thisincorporatesshamanic practices for journeying, soul recovery,and working with spiritualallies. Heleads popular workshops,athree-year training for teachers of Active Dreaming,and onlinecoursesat www.spirituality-health.com. Hisseven books onActive Dreaming include Conscious Dreaming,The Three “Only” Things, The SecretHistory of Dreaming,and Dreamgates: Exploring the Worldsof Soul,Imagination, and Life Beyond Death. Moss lives in upstate New York. His websiteis www.mossdreams.com.
