Lucid Dreaming

Fariba Bogzaran

Lucid dreaming, or the awareness of dreaming while in the dream state, is a powerful spiritual practice of awakening to the greater dimensions of the creative mind. The practice of lucid dreaming challenges our perception and habitual patterns. In this workshop, Fariba will focus on the phenomenon and practice of lucid dreaming in the context of spiritual experiences, creative inspirations, problem solving, and nightmares, and as a practice to prepare us for dying. Historical phenomenological research on lucid dreaming will be discussed, as well as current scientific discoveries. Participants will learn practical tools for remembering dreams and engaging in lucid dreaming, and for reentering dreams as they listen to the rhythmic sound of drumming.

Fariba Bogzaran, PhD, is the founder of the Dream Studies Program at John F. Kennedy University and cofounder and president of the Lucid Art Foundation. A pioneer in research on the spiritual dimensions of lucid dreaming, she has given courses and training on lucid dreaming internationally for more than 20 years. Her integral approach draws upon clinical psychology, parapsychology, Taoist and shamanic practices, and art.
