Institute for Sport Science (ISPW)

24-25 March 2012

Lucid dreaming (dreaming while cognizant that one is dreaming) is a powerful, life-expanding altered state. It is also a learnable skill, and Dr. LaBerge's research has led to the development of highly effective methods of inducing lucid dreams. This seminar will provide an overview of the science of lucid dreaming, from original discovery to techniques of inducing lucid dreams and how to use them to transform your life. Participants will gain an enhanced awareness and appreciation of their own consciousness, dreaming and waking, and tools to proceed with developing their own lucid dreaming ability.
