The Art of Lucid Dreaming Workshop with Andrew Holecek

July 5 – 7 : The Art of Lucid Dreaming

Lucid dreaming offers unparalleled opportunities for mental, physical, and spiritual growth. During this program we’ll explore the science behind lucidity, how to induce lucid dreams, what to do with them, and how to transcend any obstacle. Lucid dreaming has been developed for thousands of years in the East, and recently augmented with sophisticated techniques from the West.

This program will explore the many remarkable benefits of lucid dreaming. Every tip and trick will be discussed, from natural agents that heighten dreams, to electronic gadgets that wake you up to your dreams, to the latest apps. Eastern and Western techniques for increasing dream recall, for developing dream incubation, and for triggering lucid dreams will be explored. You will learn the daytime and nighttime practices that induce lucidity, good sleep hygiene, and how to manage common obstacles. Learn how to transform insomnia, reduce nightmares, and work with other sleep disorders. With talks, discussion groups, and entertaining videos, this program will show you how to take full advantage of “night school” and the accelerated learning available every night. We spend one-third of our lives sleeping, and enter the dream world nearly half a million times – think about how much you could learn if you had even a fraction of that extra time.

July 7 – 14 : Dream Yoga: The Path of Awakening Through Sleep and Dream

Discover the remarkable world of nocturnal meditation, where a wealth of wisdom awaits you every night. Lucid dreaming can develop into dream yoga, which has boundless potential for psychological and spiritual evolution. The nocturnal meditations provide a unique opportunity to explore the nature of mind and reality. The dream state is the “example dream” or “double delusion,” that when understood can lead to a deeper comprehension of the “real dream” or “primary delusion” of daily life. Learn how dream yoga evolves into sleep yoga and eventually into bardo yoga – and can prepare you for a lucid death.

This more advanced program on the nocturnal meditations assumes participants have either attended one of my earlier lucid dreaming/dream yoga programs, or already have knowledge about the basics of lucid dreaming. This retreat explores the more advanced inner yoga induction methods, subtle daily meditations, and an integral approach to understanding non-lucidity and lucidity. This program is for those drawn to Buddhist practice, and a deeper understanding of the subtle dimensions of mind.

Andrew Holecek has completed the traditional three-year Buddhist meditation retreat and offers seminars internationally on meditation, lucid dreaming, and dream yoga. He is the author of The Power and the Pain; Preparing to Die; and Meditation in the iGeneration, as well as the audio learning course, Dream Yoga: The Tibetan Path of Awakening Through Lucid Dreaming. His most recent book, Dream Yoga: Illuminating Your Life Through Lucid Dreaming and the Tibetan Yogas of Sleep, is the first of four books on the nocturnal meditations. Dr. Holecek is a member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine whose work has appeared in Lion’s Roar, Parobla, Tricycle, Buddhadharma, Light of Consciousness, Utne Reader, and other periodicals.
