Contrary to ordinary dreaming, it is explicitly known when lucid that the present state of consciousness is a dream. Adopting this mental model promotes a greater sense of safety and psychological flexibility in patients to produce helpful interactions with inner conflicts represented in dream content that translate to waking behavior. Since lucid dreaming is a natural capacity that can be strengthened through training, psychotherapists can further client growth by integrating lucid dreaming into evidence-based treatments for nightmares and a broad spectrum of mental health conditions.

This course provides therapists who are new to lucid dreaming therapy a brief overview of lucid dreaming, its applications, and current supporting evidence. You will learn to integrate a simple model of lucid dream training into standard imagery rehearsal therapy without requiring intensive training on part of you or your patients. Case examples will demonstrate this in action to increase your confidence to begin integrating LDT into your practice. Lastly, we will review factors to help you determine whether pursuing further training in LDT is right for you and your patients.

This hybrid format combines real-time interaction with the convenience of scheduled asynchronous activities. Participants engage directly with the instructor during live sessions, and continue their learning through forum discussions. 

To receive CE credits, you are required to fully attend a live video session and contribute to a forum discussion within a set timeline between April 26, 2025 to May 31, 2025.
