Wall of Love

Ryan Hurd's teaching of dream practice is unique and effective. He carves out a rich space that incorporates lucid dreaming and dream yoga perspectives, along with Indigenous and depth psychology frameworks. The approach is open to the liminal spaces of consciousness and reality, including the "paranormal." It also attends to how shadow aspects of the psyche show up in dreams to be healed and integrated. The Dream portal invitation: Dreaming practice is bigger than the goal of lucid dreaming alone, and the Grail of lucidity is inclusive of dreaming and waking life, both. --Eileen

The dream portal is a great place to find fun classes and support with others to build and develop a relationship with multiple levels of reality. The evidence-based and time-tested techniques learned are also a great way to begin or rekindle a new dream series and relationship to what would otherwise remain unconscious. Beyond that, Ryan has a great approach to dreaming, bringing his experience with archaeological fieldwork, in the university, and as an accomplished oneironaut practitioner together for a wonderful experience. Great teacher with an amazing knowledge base, both for solutions to problems, cutting edge research, or only the lore you can learn from someone who knows the field and players well. Have now taken several courses and looking forward to the next -- Highest recommendations for Ryan and Dream Studies portal!

Right from the beginning, I felt part of a community, I felt accepted and valued just as I am. Ryan answered all our questions with competence and authenticity. I highly recommend this Portal to anyone interested in dreaming and the different states of consciousness.

For anyone interested in regular and/or lucid dreams, I highly recommend The Dream Portal. The thing I like most about the group and Ryan’s style of teaching is the respect for both science and for various spiritual beliefs. This is more a group about exploring questions than it is about telling you the answers, which I appreciate. It’s been so fun getting to know people of all ages, and from all over the world with the same passion for dreams that I have.

When I heard about the Dream Portal I knew I had to join. I had been longing to be part of a community of like-minded people who value the wonderful world of dreams. I am very grateful to have found such a place to share and explore our dreaming experience together in an open and supportive way.
