The Science
Scientific explanation of shamanic dreaming
Scientific Discoveries
- Brainwave frequencies have been found to synchronize with rhythmic drumming.
-
Specific rhythmic sequences induce a peak in Theta brainwaves;
Theta brainwaves correspond with the so called ASC = Altered State of Consciousness - A peak in Theta brainwaves is also observed when having a visionary experience on DMT = Dimethyltryptamine
- Theta brainwaves are also found to peak during REM-Sleep (Rapid Eye Movement)
- REM-sleep is the phase of sleep in which dreams are the most vivid
-
10 out of 10 people following shamanic instructions while listening to shamanic drumming report dream-like experiences
(only 2 out of 10 without shamanic instructions) - Exploring dream content and linking that content to the dreamer's waking life can help in the achievement of insights and self-understanding
