IONE has been dedicated to facilitating dreams for over fifty years, building upon ancient and modern dream practices to awaken the deep seeds of creativity located within them. Sharing this intimate part of our being, she believes, can be the start of new ways of being with each other. From dream workshops to her annual Dream Festivals, IONE has encouraged the creation of communities of dreamers – a vision, shared with Pauline Oliveros, of a harmonious, self-sustaining network of artists and dreamers that led to the founding of the Deep Listening Institute.
IONE’s exploration of the reality of the dream and the dream of reality over many decades has led her to appreciating the quantum nature of dreaming. The quantum theory of consciousness suggests that it can exist everywhere simultaneously in the fabric of the universe. Quantum Dreaming takes a non-linear journey through IONE’s memories; the dreams of her friends and community members; scientific research into neuroscience, cosmology and physics; and historical dream traditions from around the world, including The Dreaming of Australian Aboriginal culture, ancient Chinese Taoist philosophy and Haudenosaunee Dream Festivals. Like Deep Listening, Quantum Dreaming aims to create a radical shift in collective consciousness, across all states of dream and waking.
