This is not a beginner's course. To get the most out of this advanced training, it is essential that you have already completed Exploring Dreams #1, #2, and #3. This course builds directly on the foundational knowledge established in the introductory series.
In this practical, "how-to" class, Dr. Ron Masa and Debbie Hart guide you through 19 powerful methods for exploring your own dreams.
