Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

The goals of our organization are:
1) Educate the general public about the subject of lucid dreaming,
2) Provide educational programs for people who seek to develop their lucid dreaming skills,
3) Conduct research towards advancing scientific knowledge about lucid dreaming, and
4) Encourage research into lucid dreaming by connecting interested individuals with ongoing scientific studies.

To accomplish our educational goals, we provide a variety of programs focused on lucid dream skills training and the dissemination of scientific knowledge about lucid dreaming. To accomplish our research goals, we design, implement, and publish psychological studies on lucid dreaming, in addition to assisting scientists with recruiting efforts.
