Lucid Dreaming is on the frontier of inner exploration, and self discovery. Many people could benefit from its potential for personal growth, and raising mental awareness. The lessons that the dream world can teach us lead to wisdom, and better decision making in life.

Pursuing lucid dreaming is an act of introspection and self exploration. Everyone’s dream world is rich with themes and lessons that are universal for all people, but are presented in a way that applies to the dreamers personal life. By becoming lucid in a dream, the dreamer can consciously take part in the virtual world created by their mind.

Every decision the dreamer makes immediately effects the dream world, and the dreamer can experience the results of there thoughts and emotions as they play out. For example if a dreamer sees something dangerous and focuses on the fear they feel, the dream will become more scary. If the dreamer sees something dangerous and instead, focuses on curiosity while knowing that they are safe in a dream, the dream will shift and the dreamer can learn about what the dangerous situation actually represents in their life. Overcoming fear is just one of the many lessons lucid dreaming teaches.

I believe lucid dreaming is an important concept that our society needs to learn about and experience. That is why I promote lucid dreaming and encourage people to try it out. I have made a documentary DVD that can help you on your journey:

Back in October 2004, I attended a 10 day retreat on Lucid Dreaming in Kalani Hawaii. Kalani is a beautiful secluded tropical retreat on the south east side of the big island. The Lucidity Institute did an excellent job presenting information on lucid dreaming, and making the experience interesting and entertainning. I really enjoyed all the talks from the experts such as: Dr. Stephen LaBerge, Dominick Attisani, Dr. Fariba Bogzaran, and Keelin. The other people in the group were also fun to hangout with and hear about their experiences. I highly recommend this retreat to anyone interested in expanding their understanding and experiences with Lucid Dreaming. Below is information on the next retreat coming up:

The Lucidity Institute warmly invites you to join us for Dreaming and Awakening, a 9-1/2 day residential training program devoted to Lucid Dreaming, Consciousness, and Dream Yoga with Stephen LaBerge and friends, October 1-10, 2007, Kalani, Hawaii. Come explore the wondrous Land of Odd with us! Special rates offered for alumni, groups of three or more, kama’aina (residents of Hawaii), and early registrants. A few partial scholarships may also be available. For details see: http://lucidity.com/daa/

Wouldn’t it be great to have you own virtual reality holodeck? A place where you could have any experience you could imagine, and it would feel completely real. The experience you could learn from would be endless. You could live out your fantasies, do the impossible, face your fears, or explore other worlds. This holodeck would be a unforgettable gift for a lifetime of experiences.

What if I told you this room does exist, for a small few, who have mastered the ability of lucid dreaming, otherwise known as cognizant dreaming. These fortunate few have learned the skills and techniques required to have an enriched dream life which they use to enhance creativity, explore other worlds, and gain insight on their life. Most skilled dreamers learned the ability of lucid dreaming as a child. Anyone can learn how to have a lucid dream.

If you haven’t had a good lucid dream, but wish you had, it is most likely because when you were a child, nobody taught you how or why to dream. Now is your chance to teach a child you care about how to lucid dream. Talk to them about their dreams. Give them a dream journal. Show interest in their dream life.

Lucid Dreaming is a gift adults should give to children.
Give a child the potential to create their own world within.
To master the world within, teaches deep universal wisdom and inspires creativity.

On the first weekend of February 2007, ABC broadcasted a short segment about Lucid Dreaming which highlighted the fact that anyone can learn how to control their dreams. This short segment barely scratched surface of the tip of the ice burg on what lucid dreaming is about, but it is great to see the subject covered on a nation wide news channel. Hopefully this segment will inspire more people to learn about their dreams, and explore this increasable state of consciousness.

Video of the segment titled “Control your dreams”:

ABC Good Morning America Article:
“Control Your Dreams with Lucid Dreaming”

About 1 week before that segment aired on ABC, I was contacted by the producer of Good Morning America Weekend. She requested to use footage from a documentary I directed called “Explorers of the Lucid Dream World”. Of course I agreed, and some of the footage from the documentary was used during the segment.

Explorers of the Lucid Dream World” DVD is an excellent resource for learning more about how to have a lucid dream. It includes interviews from world renowned dream researchers, such as Dr. Stephen LaBerge, who was also interviewed on the ABC Good Morning America Special mentioned above. You can obtain a copy of this DVD by visiting the official website:
