Lucid Dreams & Healing - How Lucid Dreaming Allows for Healing and Wholeness
Robert Waggoner
Wednesday, February 8th, 6-7:30 PM (PST)
The scientific evidence for lucid dreaming appeared prominently in 1980, through the work of Keith Hearne in England and Stephen LaBerge at Stanford. Being consciously aware of dreaming while in the dream, however, has a vast tradition in Buddhist dream yoga, Sufism and native shamanic traditions for millennia. There, lucid dreaming serves as a tool for deep exploration into the nature of mind and reality.
Our presenter, Robert Waggoner, taught himself a simple technique in 1975 to become lucidly aware and has had more than 1,000 lucid dreams. His two books explore the amazing potential of this profound state and what it reveals. Waggoner sees lucid dreaming as an 'open platform' that allows for accessing inner creativity, exploring the deeper nature of self, engaging spiritual concepts and healing the emotional and physical body.
In this special presentation, Waggoner will focus on using lucid dreams for healing. Already some psychotherapists use lucid dreaming as an accepted means to resolve recurring nightmares in clients with post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD. However, Waggoner shows that lucid dreaming has far greater potential for physical healing and resolving emotional trauma. He will provide compelling examples of healing lucid dreams, and will explain how these show underlying mechanisms that anyone can use for healing.
About Robert Waggoner
Robert Waggoner wrote the acclaimed book, Lucid Dreaming – Gateway to the Inner Self (now in its tenth printing), and co-authored Lucid Dreaming Plain and Simple with Caroline McCready. Both books are in Audible, Kindle and CD/Mp3. His books have been translated into French, German, Chinese, Korean, Czech, Finnish and other languages.
A past President of the International Association for the Study of Dreams (IASD), Waggoner serves at co-editor of the online magazine, The Lucid Dreaming Experience, (ISSN 2167-616X); the only ongoing publication devoted specifically to lucid dreaming. A lucid dreamer since 1975, he has logged more than 1,000 lucid dreams.
Waggoner frequently speaks on the science and practice of lucid dreaming at international dream conferences, workshops, college classrooms and in media appearances, including on CNN, CBS and ABC News.
