**FREE for HeartFire Members!**
Want to learn lucid dreaming this summer?
In this weekly in-person practice group & book study, we will explore lucid dreaming and other dream visioning techniques, with opportunities for practice between sessions. Groups like this are the best way to learn lucid dreaming!
In each session, ~30 minutes will be used to discuss the readings, leading into sharing dreams and other nighttime experiences together. We will conclude each session setting up a lucid dreaming exercise to try for the week!
We will read Clare Johnson’s beautifully curated book, The Art of Lucid Dreaming, as inspiration for our nighttime journeys – see below for description! This is one of those books that is almost impossible to read alone – we will be exploring many of the exercises together as a group.
Logistics:
We’ll begin on Tuesday, June 27.
July 11 is the last week to join, if you can’t make the first session.
We will meet for 8 weekly sessions, with the last session falling on August 15, with practice exercises to try between sessions. It is okay to miss a session or two–enjoy your vacation time! We will not meet the week of July 4 – we’re hosting our summer party!

What We’re Studying & Why:
Reading about lucid dreaming is easy. But if you actually want to develop the art of lucid dreaming, a practice group makes all the difference! The book has powerful lucid dreaming techniques, and the group is a wonderful place to get inspired & share your lucid dreaming success stories & discoveries!
To guide our explorations, we’ll dive into Clare Johnson’s book, The Art of Lucid Dreaming (Amazon link). Description:
“Learn how to wake up in your dreams for creative insights and beautiful spiritual adventures
The Art of Lucid Dreaming is a quick and easy guide to help you get lucid fast. Dr. Clare Johnson, world-leading expert on lucid dreaming, shares her best practical tips … so you can fast-track to the techniques that work best for you. When you are lucid in a dream, you can choose to ask your unconscious mind for guidance, perform healing magic, seek creative solutions to problems, and explore the dream realm more profoundly than ever before.
With over sixty practices and fifteen tailor-made lucidity programs to get you started, this hands-on guide helps you set up your own custom program for achieving lucidity as quickly as possible. Focusing on how to get lucid, stay lucid, and guide your dreams, this book shows how to transform your nightly slumber into an exciting spiritual adventure that fills your life with meaning.”
