YOUR OFFICIAL MASTERCLASS GUIDEBOOK 4 Simple Tips To Get The Most Out of This Class:

1. Print out this workbook before the class starts so you can write down your notes as you listen.

2. Review the topic outline so you know what to listen out for. Make sure you've set aside private time for this session so you’ll be able to focus and fully receive the benefits of the session.

3. During the event, write down ALL the interesting and new ideas and inspirations you get while listening — that way you won’t lose the information most relevant to you.

4. Think of how you can quickly implement the secrets revealed in this session.

Preparation Tips:

• Make sure you are in a quiet place where nothing can distract you, and that you are not driving a car or any other vehicle. Be in a comfortable position so you can fully take part in any guided meditation and visualization exercises that may be a part of the class.

• Stretch your muscles before starting the class. Stretching loosens the muscles and tendons allowing you to sit (or lie) more comfortably. Additionally, stretching starts the process of “going inward” and brings added focus to the body.

• Take a deep breath. Breathing deeply slows the heart rate and relaxes the muscles to help you have a comfortable experience during any guided meditations or visualizations that may happen during the class.

• You can use candles and other spiritual tools in the room to further help you feel at ease.

Academic Quotes About Lucid Dreaming

“By deliberately changing elements in your dream life, you

can learn to confront many of your problems at their origin—in your own mind, rather than years later in the therapist’s office.”

- Patricia Garfield, PhD Dream Researcher & Renowned Author

“From a scientific perspective, lucid dreaming offers a

kind of distilled consciousness, a way to examine consciousness in a preparation unmixed with current

sensory input.”

- Evan Thompson, Philosopher

“[Transformation] which can take years in waking physical reality, can be greatly accelerated as the psyche understands this

process inwardly within a single dream.”

- Mary Ziemer, Manager of Dream Research Institute at the Centre for Counseling and Psychotherapy Education

“Powerful lucid dreams stay with us for the lifespan, and may even permanently transform the

personality structure.”

- Ryan Hurd, Dream Researcher & Author

“That night—the results were immediate and life changing . . . How could it be so easy to have

such a powerful experience? . . . most people who lucidly dream have the potential in short order to have experiences of their innermost selves that are consistently meaningful, inspiring,

pragmatically useful, and potentially life-altering.”

- Ted Esser, professor of consciousness studies and transpersonal psychology

“It is easier to develop your practices in a dream than in the daytime. In the daytime we are limited by our material body, but

in a dream our function of mind and our consciousness of the senses are unhindered. We can have more clarity. Thus there

are more possibilities. If a person applies a practice within a dream, the practice is nine times more effective than when

it is applied during the waking hours.”

-Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche, Dzogchen Teacher of Eastern Tibet

“People often consider their Lucid Dreams as among the most wonderful experiences of their

lives.

- Stephen LaBerge, Father of Modern Lucid Dreaming

“Sensations in lucid dreams, which surpass waking life experience, could help writers, artists, and scientists to

overcome creative blocks…..Lucid dream creativity likely does not stop when we wake up, but leaves its traces in our

waking brain, thereby enhancing our everyday problem solving skills, artistic courage, and creative thought

processes.”

- Clare Johnson, PhD in Lucid Dreaming & Creative Writing

“This one Lucid Dream gave me a new sense of identity. I felt

as if I had discovered another form of being to which my ordinary sense of self stood in relation as a drop of water to

the sea.”

-Stephen LaBerge, Father of Lucid Dreaming (on reporting 1 powerful lucid dream of his)
