Productive Slumber

You've got your dream job, you live in your dream home, and you drive your dream car. Isn't it time you wrote your dream poem?! Bwahaha! In all seriousness and in all playfulness as well, if you are a poet who also dabbles in sleep, do join us a week from this Saturday. (And on January 19 as well, if you wish.) This is such a great way to connect--to your writing, to yourself, and with fellow poets. We would love for you to join us.

Have a favorite poem, or line of poetry related to dreams? Please mention it in the comments! Delightfully, Omnidawn Publishing has invited Productive Slumber to offer two upcoming dream-based poetry workshops, and you, in turn, are invited to attend! (Space is limited, btw.) Want an online version of this workshop? Let us know that in the comments as well!

Bees imperiled and, with them, our food supply? Dreams to the rescue. It was never good to start a conversation with scientists you don’t know saying, ‘I had a dream.’ Your dreams reached out directly to help you this past week. Were you paying attention?

Head of the UC Berkeley Sleep and Neuroimaging Lab, Matthew Walker, will be on NPR's Fresh Air promoting his book and talking about sleep tomorrow. Productive Slumber's founder is a former student of the professor's and a fan who highly recommends tuning in!

Author Sherman Alexie taking care of himself by heeding the guidance from his dreams. We ignore our intuition at our own peril. Good for him.
