the world of our dreams is everything, because the world of our dreams includes every possible world.
What if you could not only recognize that you’re dreaming, but control the dream itself? Conscious Dreaming is a technique that blends the western modalities of lucid dreaming, eastern wisdom traditions of sleep and dream yoga and scientific research on sleep and consciousness.
what’s “real”?
Nothing, according to your brain.
From a scientific perspective the mind cannot differentiate between what’s real and imagined.
Strengthen Cognitive Function
When you dream consciously you have the ability to create new neural pathways and strengthen existing ones leading to improved cognitive function. Conscious Dreaming creates a cognitive simulation in which one can exercise the mind and build a cognitive reserve to protect against early cognitive decline and promote overall brain health.
Overcome Fear and Stop Nightmares
Conscious Dreaming creates a controlled environment in which to confront fears and phobias fundamentally. Rehearse challenging situations, transform nightmares, and confront and control the foundations of fear in a safe and supportive space. Empower yourself and regain agency over fight, flight or freeze responses by recognizing and rewriting your root triggers.
Sharpen Focus and Mental Resilience
A unique platform for cognitive training and self-exploration, Conscious Dreaming allows one to manipulate dream scenarios and landscapes in which to practice focusing on specific tasks, objects and outcomes enhancing the ability to grow and sustain single-pointed concentration.
Enhance Creativity
Conscious Dreaming allows you to communicate directly with the subconscious which is widely regarded to be the richest source of insight and inspiration. By connecting with the subconscious new perspective and solutions to creative problems can be found. Engage in states of free association and unlock new ideas by experiencing complete immersion in a simulated world of your creation.
Advance Problem-Solving
Level up your problem-solving. Explore and experiment with a level of complexity and detail impossible to replicate in the waking world. Slow or speed up time, scale down to quantum levels, zoom out to universal ones. Gain a deeper understanding of variables, interactions and possible outcomes for any problem. Advance your problem-solving in a space where rules don’t apply, but the knowledge you gain can be.
Improve Memory
Sleep is a critical period for memory consolidation. Conscious Dreaming provides a space for memory rehearsal and integration in which deliberate recall and incorporation of existing knowledge and new memories, respectively, can be integrated to facilitate improvement of the brain’s ability to adapt and change in response to new experiences and solidify neural pathways related to memory formation and recall.
Reduce Anxiety
By taking control of your dreams you can learn to control your reactions. Conscious Dreaming provides a space in which to safely confront people, places, situations and experiences from which anxiety manifests. Take refuge in a world of your making. Relax, reframe and reset. Awaken rewired with a renewed ability to cope with life’s stressors.
Build Confidence and the Capacity to Learn
Conscious Dreaming allows practitioners to replicate real-world situations and environments in which to gain practical experience. Progress at your own speed and level of difficulty and tailor your learning environment to your exact needs. Explore and manipulate objects and concepts and develop or deepen cognitive maps and pathways. Experiment endlessly and learn from mistakes to develop waking life skills without waking life consequences.
Increase Self-Awareness
Ask yourself a simple question: Am I awake? When this question arises in the dreamscape a world that often feels “more real than real life” unfolds. In order to awaken you must first be aware enough to ask the question. The foundation of the practice that leads to successful Conscious Dreaming is, fundamentally, an unbroken awareness that only continues to grow.
