Dreams for wellbeing: Introduction to Lucid Dreaming


Dreams for Wellbeing: Introduction to Lucid Dreaming. 6-week online course.

  • A 6-part online workshop that teaches you about lucid dreaming and mindfulness of dreams and sleep. Discover the benefits of harnessing the different sleep states to support your wellbeing and health, and to support creativity, your career and relationships. You will leave with a series of approaches that you can practise at home and use for life.

    The main aim of the course is to teach you how to use lucid dreaming as a way to support your spiritual or psychological growth. Though many use it to develop a skill, to find creative inspiration, or just for fun! (Yes, you can choose to fly or visit the Maldives in your dreams!)

    This workshop includes an overview of the history, science and practice of lucid dreaming and of course plenty of techniques for becoming lucid within your dreams.

  • Lucid dreaming is when you becoming conscious in your dreams. A dream in which you think ‘Hang on a sec, this isn’t real, I’m dreaming’. This moment of realisation occurs while you’re fast asleep in bed. When you have awareness within a dream, you can then interact with and direct your dream at will. Through influencing your dreams, you are able to do a number of things…

  • Some people do it just for fun – as a way to explore different places. Others use it for psychological growth.

    Get this, anything you can use hypnotherapy for, you can use lucid dreaming.

    There’s one school of thought that believes that anything you do in a lucid dream – such as practise affirmations or self-love – is eight times more powerful than if you were to do the same in a waking state!

    Others use it to mine for creative ideas or as a way to heal their inner child, support grief or overcome a phobia.

    We sleep for a third of our lives, and so, lucid dreaming is smart way to explore our inner world.

    Once you’ve learnt the techniques, it’s a skill you will have for life.

    • Learn how to start your own nocturnal practice…

    • Learn how to use different sleep states, and dreams, to inspire and support your life

    • A notebook and pen. If you like, you may wish to buy yourself a dream diary if you haven’t got one already. (Any journal or notebook – something you will enjoy writing in.)

    • A cup of tea and a blanket (optional)

    • A quiet, confidential space

  • “I came into this workshop with little awareness of lucid dreaming but was intrigued to find out more about how it could help with creative blocks. The course was the ideal blend of information (which was always supported with research and ideas for suggested further reading) and practical tasks which we were encouraged to try in between classes at our own pace. Leah was so well organised and so knowledgeable on the subject- it was a joy to learn with her. The course really opened my mind to what can be achieved during sleep”! - Kirsty

    I” have been fascinated with this concept for some time and to find someone as knowledgeable as Leah about it is not that simple. I really took a lot away from this workshop and hope that I will be able to become more skilled at it with practice. Leah has laid the foundation for this, she made everything simple and enjoyable, I would thoroughly recommend this workshop”. - Shirley
