Exploring the Dream Realms

Calling all dreamers! Join author, transpersonal therapist and dreaming expert Tree Carr on a 10-week livestream course into the realms of your dreams.

Dreams are one of the few places where the conscious and unconscious mind meet freely, offering a nightly gateway into insight, healing and creative inspiration that's often inaccessible during waking life. Conscious dreaming practice – including lucid dreaming, dream recall and working with the liminal states between sleep and waking – is the art of learning to meet this inner world with awareness rather than letting it pass by unnoticed. 

Rooted in neuroscience, biology, transpersonal psychology, mysticism and herbalism, this course helps you build a working relationship with your own psyche: recognising patterns, symbols and recurring themes, and using them as tools for problem-solving, self-understanding and psychological growth. For many, developing this connection also opens a doorway to expanded states of consciousness and psychic awareness, since dreams are often where intuitive and precognitive faculties are most naturally active.

What to expect

Tree's weekly two-hour classes combine guided teachings, experiential practices and group sharing. There will be homework and assignments as part of the course curriculum. You'll also have access to a dedicated daily WhatsApp thread, where exercises, activities, meditation links and additional resources are shared throughout the week to deepen your practice between sessions. 

This 10-week livestream course includes:

• Deepen and develop your connection to the dream realms
• Improve your psychism
• Develop your conscious awareness in dreams and the liminal thresholds of sleep
• Open yourself up to insights and creative inspiration
• Build tools for problem-solving and personal development
• Be guided on a path of healing
• And so much more

Who is this course for?

This course is for anyone who is interested in what their dreams can tell them. No experience is necessary, and you don't need to be able to remember your dreams to join this course. 

Book now to embark upon a transpersonal odyssey and consciously connect to the nightly power of your dreams with Tree Carr as your guide.
