Dream Studies: Upcoming Courses, Workshops and Exclusive Trainings


Hi Reader

How’s your dreamlife?

There’s a lot going on with the Dream Portal -- our Fall quarter is open now for enrollment with the theme of Calibration - how we can apply dream studies skills to our own lives for creativity, intuition, spiritual discernment, and community justice work.

And at the bottom of this newsletter is the coupon code for saving 15% off all enrollments.

Here’s a quick run down of our upcoming offerings -

Dream Calibration

This workshop with me is a series of three live interactive events starting October 23rd that is perfect for beginners or those who are looking to rekindle their relationship to dreaming. We'll have a private forum, dowloads and a safe dream sharing space too.

We will cover increasing dream recall, how to clarify our dreams, and how to apply dream wisdom to the creative puzzles and spiritual yearnings that keep us up at night. This is Dreamwork 101, and uses my popular Dream like a Boss book as curriculum.

This workshop series is open to members of the Dream Portal at the Inner Sanctum level.

Social Justice Dreaming

Are you searching for an intentional alternative to the settler colonial holiday of Thanksgiving and the consumerism of Christmas? Want to find new ways to celebrate the turning-inward time and build community while also learning how to connect intuitive skills with activism?

Katrina Dreamer is offering a new live six week course starting in November. Learn the essential intuitive skills that can assist your social justice work, including dreamwork, energy work and divination.

We will review the dreaming and intuitive skills covered in previous sessions, and go deeper with them, including how to weave them together and practically apply them to activist practices. This is a safe, intentional and moderated space that centers the most marginalized. Specifically: This is a Anti-racist, anti-ableist, queer and trans affirming, covid/pandemic realist space.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Intuitive practices for receiving information, expanding guidance, and deepening reflection, especially related to activism
  • Connecting with dream and spirit guides
  • Divination tools
  • Nature and ancestral connection practices
  • Basic energy work tools
  • Case studies and practicums to apply this to your own justice work

Learn more here. Register before November 1st and get an automatic 25% off. No one will be turned away by lack of funds.

Inner Sanctum members of the Dream Portal also get access to this course as part of membership.


Save the Date: Extraordinary Dreams Begins November 18th

Extraordinary Dreams is my annual training on working with the insights of big dreams.

This course is for you if you are struggling to connect with your sense of purpose or a more authentic relationship to the cosmos. Or you are looking for broader perspectives about how your dreams can connect to your spiritual practice and worldview.

This workshop is designed to help you remember the old ways. To remember that the dark is nourishing. Our evenings asleep send us through profound altered states of consciousness –most of which we forget. And then, every so often a powerful dream or vision rips through and leaves us shaken or in awe.

We will take a tour of extraordinary dreaming and the visions that come in night: from visitation dreams to seemingly prophetic encounters. Non dual visions. Aliens, angels and ancestors. Ultimately, this is a course about the Wyrd, an ancient word that our own “weird” comes from. The Wyrd conveys a cosmos that has a hidden life, and is composed of invisible threads that connects us all.

This course is included with membership at the Inner Sanctum level but will also be available for enrollment a la carte soon for the general public.

Hi Reader As a lifelong lucid dreamer with all its ups and downs, I know what it is like to struggle with working with lucid dreams. It can be difficult to call forth the wisdom of the dreaming mind to support your soulful goals. This could include dissolving a creative block, healing a nightmare wound, or exploring the non-dual spaces beyond your dream body. And learning how to navigate the dream world once you’re lucid is an emotional roller coaster. Truth is, navigating the lucid dream...

Hi Reader How’s your dreamlife? It's the dog days of summer here in the eastern woodlands of the US. The Perseids meteor shower just peaked but sadly I haven’t been able to see them. Why? because I live in Philadelphia where the night sky is occluded with light pollution. If I’m lucky, I can see half a dozen of the brightest stars in the sky. I’m thirsty for star light and dark skies. It really feels like an unmet need, a yearning. Have you ever felt this? There’s a word for this feeling:...
