Lucid Dreaming Practice Group
A monthly space to deepen your lucid dreaming practice
Practice, return, repeat...
Lucid dreaming is a natural, alternate state of consciousness with infinite possibilities. Contrary to common belief, it isn’t about reaching an endpoint, but about developing an ongoing relationship with awareness across dreaming and waking states. With the right tools and mindset, lucid dreaming is far more accessible than most people realize. Practicing alongside others makes the learning process easier, more inspiring, and far less driven by guesswork than going it alone.
Who's it for: This group is for lucid dream enthusiasts who want to deepen their experience through shared inquiry and guidance. Our group is appropriate for seasoned lucid dreamers and beginners, as long as you wish to engage in a regular, shared practice of lucid dreaming.
Format: We meet monthly to discuss our practice, strengthen induction skills, and explore creative and spiritual applications. The group is intentionally kept small to support meaningful conversation and personalized attention. Replays are available for six days after each meeting.
Schedule: Meetings last an hour and are typically scheduled the first week of the month. Sessions alternate between Thursdays (430pm Pacific) and Saturdays (10am Pacific) to support attendance.
Start Date: Our first meeting is scheduled Thursday, April 2, 2026 at 4:30pm PST. Enroll by March 22 to guarantee a live seat, or contact me to inquire if there is an opening.
Included Bonus Access: Membership includes optional access to the course in Mindful Lucid Dreaming, recently updated for a more modern learning experience. This resource aims to support your personal practice and group participation.

Meet your facilitator and coach
Kristen LaMarca, PhD, DBSM
Kristen has spent over two decades exploring the science and practice of lucid dreaming. Since 2010, she has collaborated with Lucidity Institute, co-teaching intensive retreats and conducting scientific studies with Stephen LaBerge. Kristen is also a psychologist specializing in behavioral sleep medicine and lucid dreaming as a tool in psychotherapy and nightmare treatment. She emphasizes that lucid dreaming is about creativity and self-connection, rather than controlling your dreams.
Her work has been featured in major media outlets such as USA Today, British Vogue, Engadget, and NPR’s KPBS. She is also the author of Learn to Lucid Dream, a modern guide to inducing and benefiting from lucid dreaming.
Kristen's style as a facilitator balances structure with openness, creating a supportive container that allows participants to explore what works best for them. She draws on established models from science, psychology, and contemplative wisdom to intentionally deepen your practice over time.

Frequently asked questions
What size is the group?
An ideal meeting size is 5-10 people. If interest exceeds that range, additional meeting times or topic-specific groups may be offered to preserve the quality of discussion.
Can meeting times change?
We aim to meet consistently at the scheduled times. Occasionally, unforeseen conflicts may require a date or time adjustment, which will be communicated in advance as much as possible.
What if I miss a session?
It’s okay to miss a meeting. Replays are available for approximately 6 days post-meeting to help you stay connected to the group’s rhythm. Live attendance is encouraged whenever possible.
What is your refund / cancellation policy?
Membership is billed monthly and is non-refundable. You may cancel at any time to stop future charges, and you’ll retain access through the end of your current billing period.
I don’t always lucid dream. Is this group for me?
Periods of low dream recall, absence of lucid dreaming, or transient life circumstances that draw your attention elsewhere are normal, expected, and healthy. You can also attend even if you've never had a lucid dream before. This group supports the process of practice, not performance or specific outcomes. The only meaningful prerequisite is the ability to recall dreams — and that skill is trainable for most people.
I'm a beginner. Is this group for me?
Beginners are welcome but keep mind this group will not systematically introduce foundational concepts. The practice group is semi-structured and assumes participants have some familiarity with basic ideas and techniques. That said, even experienced practitioners benefit from refining foundational skills, which will be a part of our dialogue. Beginners can take advantage of the group's complimentary access to the Mindful Lucid Dreaming course, which provides a sequential introduction to the practice. Other recommended resources include:• Learn to Lucid Dream: Powerful Techniques for Awakening Creativity and Consciousness (2019)• Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming (1990)
How do I join the live meeting?
Members receive a Zoom link by email up to one week before the scheduled meeting.
How far in advance should I become a member to attend the next meeting?
To guarantee a live seat, become a member at least one week before the next scheduled meeting. Meetings are currently scheduled for the first week of each month.
How do I access the replay?
A link is forwarded by email to current members shortly after the meeting. It is automatically deleted after six days.
I'm one of your patients. Can I join?
This group is not appropriate for current or former patients. If you are interested in resuming clinical care, please contact my office directly (www.luciditysleeppsych.com). If you are looking for independent educational resources, check out my book, my online course, or other self-guided materials available at www.mindfulluciddreaming.com
Can this group help my mental health problem?
This group is designed to help people learn to induce lucid dreaming or explore creative or spiritual applications. It is not appropriate for addressing a mental health disorder.
Stay lucid!
