Learn the Art of Lucid Dreaming

Lucid Dreaming, or the ability to become consciously aware of dreaming while in the dream state, has been scientifically validated since 1980. Once aware within the dream, you have a special platform of awareness from which to access inner creativity, promote psychological growth and even encourage physical healing.

Robert Waggoner taught himself a simple technique in 1975 to become lucidly aware, and presents a two-week introductory workshop on this fascinating subject and how to have lucid dreams. As you pay attention to your dreams and dream symbols, you gain insight into yourself (as Justina Lasley covers in her Dream Interpretation workshop). Lucid dreaming assists in this effort by allowing you to actively seek insights about dream symbols, dream figures and more.

Lucid dreaming does not mean ‘control’ of the dream; rather, it shows us clearly that we are involved in a set of profound inner relationships (often with our own ideas, beliefs and emotions). Much of this workshop will introduce you to the key techniques of inducing and stabilizing this unique state of awareness, so that you can use it thoughtfully.

This workshop focuses on the basics of lucid dreaming and is suitable for those who have never had a lucid dream (but have dream recall) and those who have limited experience with lucid dreaming.
