Every human being on this planet sleeps and dreams.
Have you ever wondered what’s going on when you sleep and dream?
What are those shadowy states of consciousness we all share?
Ones that we spend a third of our lives in?
Are they mere rest that serves no other purpose than rejuvenating your physical body?
What if there was more to the story?
What if those were the greatest missed opportunities of humankind?

Have You Been Sleeping
While Others Were Awake?
The fact is… our sleep and dream states present an extremely precious opportunity for psychological and spiritual growth.
An opportunity to live our greatest lives.
And the only way to make use of it is through the art of lucid dreaming.
When correctly harnessed, lucid dreaming can revolutionize the way you relate to sleep and dream. Yet there are millions of people who either have never heard of it or never really fully understood the potential of this unique dreaming experience… who are missing out on living the highest version of themselves.
What if everyone could make use of this natural gift that only humans are blessed with?
Will they still choose suffering over joy?
Why should they?
Patricia Garfield, a dream researcher with a Ph.D., and the author of ten books, says “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.”
Mary Ziemer, who manages the Dream Research Institute at the Centre for Counseling and Psychotherapy Education in London, says, “[_Transformation_] which can take years in waking physical reality, can be greatly accelerated as the psyche understands this process inwardly within a single dream.”
The question now is…
Are you missing out on living a life that’s much more heavenly than the one you’re currently in?
Now You Can Finally Wake Up In Your Dreams And Explore The Deepest Depths Of Your Consciousness Through Lucid Dreaming
Ask any Lucid Dreamer and they’ll swear by the life-changing magic of lucid dreams.
For one, it gives you limitless freedom and escapism.
This is perhaps one of the first and foremost reason why so many people find lucid dreaming attractive.
Through a lucid dream, you can meet your personal idol, re-enact a particular day in history or soar in the sky like an eagle. There’s immense freedom. You can manifest anything you want while still mimicking the reality you live in right now.
It also empowers you to question the nature of reality, communicate with your subconscious mind and shine a light on your shadows.
You can even practice your skills in a virtual reality like manner to become better at something.
Jack Nicklaus famously improved his golf game through a lucid dream.
A pianist could practice in their lucid dream, and reap the same benefits as if they were practicing on a real piano. The legendary Arthur Rubinstein was able to mentally practice a piece he had never performed, and then perform it without further rehearsal.
The German chemist Friedrich Kekule discovered the molecular structure of benzene in a dream, James Cameron’s dream of a robot-man eventually became the movie The Terminator, Robert Louis Stevenson came up with the plot for his novella The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in a dream, and Paul McCartney’s song Yesterday came to him in a dream.
Plus lucid dreaming creates a natural, joyful high that spills over to your waking reality.
Imagine that happening to you.
In short, if everyone mastered the art of lucid dreaming, it would exponentially advance and enrich the human race.
So how can you get started on this personally?
Introducing… Dream Sculpting — The Gold Standard Course In Lucid Dreaming With Legendary Teacher Andrew Holecek And Designed
By Mindvalley
We partner with some of the legendary teachers on the planet merging their teachings with great technology and design to create learning programs that truly change lives and transform you into the greatest version of yourself.
We realized that the concept of lucid dreaming is anything but new and there are countless studies and thousands of books written on it. Our scientists started studying it since 1978. Before that, the ancient Eastern spiritual schools had documented it thousands of years ago.
Yet today, thousands of amateur practitioners are struggling to find a definitive path to its mastery.
And that’s why we decided to create a gold standard course called Dream Sculpting.
It is designed as a six-week experiential program based on modern science and Eastern Buddhist traditions. You will learn the fundamentals of lucid dreaming as well as advanced techniques. You will be guided every step of the way by Andrew Holecek.
You not only get all the benefits of a self-paced curriculum but you also get highly interactive and personalized solutions to suit your needs as Andrew will be answering your questions.
It truly is the masterpiece of a course that the world needs right now.
Our guarantee is that this course will not only transform your night. But it will completely shift the way you look at your life from now on.
And you do not have to work on it for years. Just six weeks.
Four Things That Make The Dream Sculpting Program Unique
1. Rooted in Eastern spirituality and Western science
The Dream Sculpting program offers you the best of both worlds when it comes to Lucid Dreaming. It bridges both the Western scientific approach with the time-tested Eastern methodologies to form a unique framework that you can apply and start benefiting immediately. While the science helps you soothe the logical mind, the Eastern mysticism captures your heart and pulls you towards something greater than yourself. There’s no better way to do it than this.
2. Both daytime and nighttime practices
At the core level, the Dream Sculpting program offers a framework for awareness designed to put you in touch with both your waking and dream reality. This holistic approach to Lucid Dreaming means you’re not shunning one for the other. Your awareness won’t just be limited to your dream consciousness. Instead, you’ll find yourself fully aware and conscious during the day too. And what doesn’t improve with more awareness? That’s why we’re confident that by the end of the six weeks, you will be a completely new person — fully aware, present and joyful.
3. Designed for results in six weeks
It’s a common myth among lucid dreaming circles that one has to practice for years to finally achieve some lucidity in their dreams. However, according to Andrew Holecek, with the right tools and techniques and with the proper step-by-step guidance, anyone can become a master of lucid dreaming in a matter of weeks. The Dream Sculpting program will take you from kindergarten level to graduate level or higher in mere six weeks. Just imagine. Six weeks is all the time you need to invest in picking up a skill as important and as life changing as Lucid Dreaming.
4. Community support from a passionate group of students
We understand that Lucid dreaming is not an ordinary topic that you’ll see discussed everywhere. Not everyone around you is interested in this topic as much as you are. But wait, what if everyone around you is as passionate about lucid dreaming as you? Well, that’s what you’ll find in the Dream Sculpting program. Throughout the six weeks and after, a huge community of passionate lucid dreamers will gather on our online platform to share their learnings, discuss their lecture notes and offer encouragement to each other. This tribe alone can be the biggest needle mover on your path to mastery.

What You’ll Learn
Eight Ways The Dream Sculpting Program
Will Transform You
Even though Andrew brings in wisdom from the East, there are no religious undertones to this course. We respect all beliefs and the course is deeply rooted in science and verifiable facts.
But it’s not for everyone.
While some might be what we call a “natural” when it comes to Lucid Dreaming, others have to set a firm intention to unlock this ability.
Hence if you’re not a natural Lucid Dreamer, you must be willing to put in some effort to enjoy the fruits of this noble endeavor.
If you do put in the effort, this course will probably take you through the entire spectrum of Lucidity — from barely recalling a dream and shortest flashes to being hyper-lucid in your dreams and experiencing vivid HD-quality lucid dreams that last an hour.
And you’ll undergo a massive transformation in the process.
Here are some of what you can expect.
01 Reduce nightmares, depression, and trauma
Lucid dreaming is a remarkable tool to put people out of depression, nightmares and trauma of the past. In a study at Utrecht University in the Netherlands, participants underwent lucid dreaming treatment (LDT), which included coming up with alternative endings to their nightmares. Those who were able to do so reduced the number of their nightmares.
02 Boost your confidence, skills and happiness levels
In your lucid dreams you can conjure up any of the scenarios of your waking reality and in an instant alter the scene to suit your needs. This can be a tremendous personal growth tool which can be used to boost confidence, overcome shyness, manage grief, and even rehearse your skills.
03 Eliminate bad beliefs and habits while cultivating new ones
Of all the states of consciousness we know of, the waking state has the least power to transform simply because of the years of past conditioning and programming that it’s already been subjected to. However, in the dream state, our consciousness is more malleable and more fluid. Hence it’s the best, most effortless way to cultivate new habits and beliefs.
04 Solve problems, find answers and get innovative ideas
While lucid dreaming, your consciousness level is up a notch and so you may be better at solving problems. Several studies prove that lucid dreamers often come up with a “remote and, at the time, implausible” options when presented with a challenge in a lucid dream. These turn out to be the most innovative solutions that otherwise wouldn’t even register in their mind.
05 Enhance your physical strength and improve performance
Lucid dreaming has been proven to be effective in helping you with any physical activity that you want to improve. Scientists in Germany, through fMRI research, found that doing something in your lucid dreams is neurologically equivalent to actually doing it. Meaning, if you improve your dream body, it will have an effect on your physical body. Studies with professional athletes have proven this to be true.
06 Trigger healing and reverse problematic conditions
One doctor published a paper about a patient with a twenty-two-year history of chronic pain who cured himself overnight with a single lucid dream. There are other studies too that show how people have all kinds of healing results from healing a painful sprained tendon to stopping internal bleeding, reducing fever and signs of infection, speeding recovery from fractures, reducing uterine cysts, and healing scar tissues. However, please note that lucid dreaming cannot be a substitute for proper medical care.
07 Become a powerhouse of creativity and intuition
Lucid dreaming is also proven to have the potential to tap into your creative and intuitive potential. The creative reservoirs that artists, musicians and inventors use can be accessed in your lucid dreams. And it can also give you a Déjà vu-like intuitive feeling for spotting out opportunities or dangers.
08 Awaken to your true nature and see the full potential of life
When you start having lucid dreams, you’ll realize that during your entire life you’ve been sitting on top of a vast reservoir of potentiality that you never tapped into. In lucid states, you’re entering the deepest depths of your consciousness to uncover your true nature and see your natural gifts so you can bring them to the surface of your life.
Here’s the important thing you need to keep in mind: the waking life or the physical reality that you see every day is but the tip of the iceberg when it comes to cause and effect in life. Much of it is governed by huge, unbelievably immense subconscious realms of our minds.
Lucid Dreaming offers a shortcut to those realms.
And the Dream Sculpting program eliminates the guesswork from your lucid dreaming practice.
Rock Your Dream World So You Win
The Real World
By embarking on this 6-week journey with Andrew Holecek, you are not just transforming your nighttime experience…
… but you’re actually changing your entire life.
Because the fact is your waking and dream consciousnesses have a bidirectional effect on each other. What happens during your day will affect what happens in your night and vice versa.
By mastering the “dream game” — your thoughts, habits, and actions in the waking state will transform in the shortest possible time.
It’s like somewhere in the deepest depths of your consciousness you’ve flipped a switch that gave you a newfound sense of freedom and confidence like nothing you’ve seen before.
For instance:
Have you ever wondered why some people can overcome any problems, however complex or unending it may seem? Did you ever find yourself opening your mouth, gasping when they achieve what they want against impossible odds? It’s because they have a tremendous sense of belief in themselves in relation to the real world. Some are natural at it. But if you want to cultivate this type of behavior, there’s no better practicing ground than the dream reality. And in just six weeks, you’ll be the person that others look to in awe.
There’s no arguing that the legendary Steve Jobs had great vision. In your own life, you may have seen people like that. Perhaps your boss or someone you really admire in life. Have you ever wished you could be like them? According to a Gallup study, 50% of Americans dislike their jobs. A big part of this is because people are working on tasks that do not align with their vision. When you learn to lucid dream, you actually gain greater clarity on your purpose and mission in life and how to move towards it. When this happens you won’t need motivation — instead you jump out of bed every morning excited about your vision.
If you have writer’s block, artist’s block or any other creative block, consider them gone by the end of the six weeks with Andrew Holecek. This is because Lucid Dreams are the ultimate breeding ground for all creativity. Your mind, will literally be unhooked from the imaginary leashes we carry in our waking mind, and there will be limitless possibilities. For the first time in your life, you’ll never run out of ideas. You’ll wake up every day in the morning and literally scramble for pieces of paper to write down all the ideas you’ve had in your dreams. People will start calling you the idea man or woman. And you’ll start wondering why others haven’t figured out Lucid Dreaming yet.
And there are so much more transformations you’ll have thanks to Lucid Dreaming.
The truth is any of these transformations will make an amazing difference to the quality of your life.
And so being able to Lucid Dream consistently and every night, is clearly one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself and your loved ones.
That’s why we’re excited to bring you this course with Andrew Holecek.

Fruition of Lucid Dreaming
A Huge Reservoir Of Untapped Potential… With Hundreds Of Thousands Of Dollars, Perhaps Even Millions In Value
Most people go through life not being aware of their full potential.
They think they are limited by their circumstances, their education, their socio-cultural upbringing or for some, even their last breakup in a relationship.
But the truth is… the greatest gift we all have as a human being is that we’re infinitely creative, and we have, within us, all the means to fulfill even the wildest of our dreams.
Only we need to step out of our ordinary consciousness to really see this potential.
Lucid Dreaming offers exactly that.
And puts more awareness in your life.
Anything that heightens awareness is beneficial.
Even if Lucid Dreaming only expands your awareness by a fraction of what is really possible, it will make your life ultimately more lively, more playful and childlike.
Lucid Dreaming also frees up extra time that you can invest in making yourself better.
Imagine having that extra edge in your job or professional career by practicing your skills in your lucid dreams.
People have also used lucid dreaming to lose weight, treat trauma, eliminate stress disorders and confront their phobias.

Here’s What People Say About Andrew Holecek And His Work
“The best lucid dreaming teacher in the West”
“Andrew Holecek is the best lucid dreaming teacher in the West. His teaching on this fascinating and important topic is clear, contextual, relevant, practical, engaging, and comprehensive. He is the only lucid dreaming teacher whose teaching spans both secular and religious origins of the practice, and with students, he is respectful, encouraging, and cheerful.”
Chris Thatcher
Attorney/Acting Coach/Somatic Psychotherapist
“I cannot recommend it enough.”
“Andrew’s Lucid Dreaming and Dream Yoga program was fantastic. He interweaves traditional dream yoga practices and perspectives with modern Western lucid dreaming methods and techniques, not simply as some intellectual endeavor to bridge East and West, but as a pragmatic approach to lucid dreaming and spirituality that focuses on what works. He is a clear speaker who brings humor to what and how he teaches. He covers the spectrum of practice and theory well, and makes it all practical and useful. I cannot recommend it enough.”
Jay Mutzafi
host of LucidSage – The Lucid Dreaming Podcast
“Help students access and remember complex concepts”
“Andrew’s depth of personal experience of the practices combined with his broad knowledge of the Buddhist teachings on dream yoga makes him particularly adept at guiding our journey into the dream world. He is a playful wordsmith using catchy phrases and images that help students access and remember complex concepts. His personal anecdotes make his teaching authentic and accessible. It was a joy to study the Dream Yoga teachings with Andrew.”
Dr. Ina Robbins
Psychologist
“His programs on these nocturnal practices are a real gift.”
“Andrew is a rare gem as a Western teacher. With dedication to the integrity of the material, he shares the benefit of a lifetime of committed study with clarity, enthusiasm, and warmth: a natural born teacher. His presentations on lucid dreaming and dream yoga are both accessible and exciting, offering profound insights for anyone committed to furthering familiarity with their own mind. Time spent with Andrew always reignites my own passion and enthusiasm for both practice and study. His programs on these nocturnal practices are a real gift.”
David Tillinghast
Associate Professor and Director of Special Projects at Art Center College of Design
“The practices helped me to bring together the two streams of consciousness of dream and waking life”
“Andrew’s lucid dreaming teachings stretched my understanding and appreciation of the parallel streams of my “dream life” and “waking life” far beyond what I knew was possible. The practices helped me to bring together the two streams of consciousness of dream and waking life, and my life experience increased in clarity, joy, playfulness and depth. Andrew’s teachings also helped me explore how lucid dreaming can even help me prepare for death, which in turn amplifies my attempts to be more present and alive right now.
After weeks of focused practice in the techniques, and some normal frustration at the lack of progress, the lucidity in my dreams and waking life increased 10 fold. I noticed that the other students and I eagerly awaited to share and hear about each other’s experiences in the class. Andrew created a safe space for learning and sharing that was really beautiful. Sharing was welcomed and honored, and Andrew brought humor and levity to this often clunky process.
Andrew is an intellect and a true scientist-practitioner. His vast depth of knowledge and experience with Eastern and Western philosophy and theology, Tibetan Buddhism, dream and sleep yoga, Western lucid dreaming traditions, and other scientific fields of study (physics, psychology, and neuroscience) is so profound and rich that “taking it all in” could be intimidating to the new learner. However, Andrew is so playful as he articulates the information, and shares such passion, clarity, humor, and curiosity that all kinds of people are included and welcomed to take the journey together. Students and teacher were often laughing along the way. Andrew is known for wonderful analogies that help learners grasp the material. He taught us how to prepare for the night with step by step instructions, and with meditations and visualizations. We learned that nighttime was not about “checking out” but instead about “checking in.”
I feel so blessed to have Andrew introduce me to the many phases and stages of lucid dreaming, a practice I will be exploring for the rest of my life. Every night is a cutting-through journey. It is the gift that keeps on giving.
Thanks Andrew, for supporting me and all of your students to explore these vast dimensions!”
M. Fitzgerald
Ph.D., Clinical psychologist and researcher
“Some of the deepest and most profound dream work I have ever experienced.”
“The lucid dreaming and dream yoga seminar with Andrew Holecek is some of the deepest and most profound dream work I have ever experienced. I continue to learn more as I practice. I am in awe and most grateful of the results that can be achieved and felt in everyday life through dream yoga practices. Most of which have been self-empowerment, calm presence and a deeper sense awareness for all I experience. Andrew Holecek is a very gifted and wholehearted teacher and facilitator of dream yoga.”
Jasmin Bloch
M.A., Psychological Counselor, Art Therapist & Teacher, Zurich, Switzerland
“New levels of insight for me”
“I have been studying with Andrew Holecek for many years, focusing on advanced Buddhist practices such as dream yoga, the dying process, and the Six Yogas of Naropa. Andrew is my favorite Western dharma teacher due to his tremendous ability to synthesize the Eastern wisdom and practice tradition with modern Western science and psychology. He presents his deep understanding in an accessible way that unlocks new levels of insight for me. He is able to present very advanced practices and topics in a way that is delightfully understandable because he has boiled down his extensive dharma practice and wide-ranging scholarship in the cauldron of personal experience. Out it comes with humor, clarity and insight, and this applies to both his books and personal presentations. I attend every single teaching of his that I can get to – he is that useful to me.”
Lindsay Vinyard
CPA, Colorado
“Profound and transformational.”
“Andrew’s teachings on lucid dreaming and Dream Yoga are profound and transformational. As a teacher, he is engaging, generous, and fun. The topics he teaches have the potential to be esoteric and unapproachable, however he teaches in such a way that his students, no matter where they are on their path, are able to understand and apply his teachings to everyday life. Each time I complete one of Andrew’s programs, I feel that my entire practice and path have been enhanced and given a more expansive, deeper meaning.”
Jennifer Wang

“What a fascinating, intriguing experience!”
“Andrew’s Dream Yoga teachings can absolutely guide one’s experience toward lucid dreaming. I had a lucid dream guided by the the techniques offered in his program. What a fascinating, intriguing experience! During his sessions, Dr. Holecek lays out the view, describes the induction methods, and supports your journey toward understanding another dimension to self
