Want to turn your passion for dreams into a profession?

IDS is now accepting new applicants for our January 2026 cohort! Come dream with us! 🌀🌀🌀

07/07/2025

Please join the Institute for Dream Studies in celebrating and welcoming our newly Certified Dreamwork Professionals! It has been an honor to witness their growth and transformation. The legacy they now carry is rich, radiant, and deeply needed in the world.

IDS held a deeply moving graduation ceremony for their 2025 cohort — marking the end of a luminous year of transformation, insight, and sacred community.

Throughout their year of studies, this devoted group of dreamers journeyed together through the highs and lows of life, yet always showing up with courage, presence, and heart. Their bond only deepened as they moved forward, one dream at a time. Never before have we witnessed such a beautifully diverse and international gathering—our students and mentors come together from 11 different countries (Bermuda, England, Ethiopia, Germany, Guatemala, Iran, Mexico, Pakistan, Russia, United Kingdom and the United States). The wealth of perspectives and the rich tapestry of cultures they brought to this work have been nothing short of extraordinary, lighting up our community with vibrant insight and boundless inspiration.

These graduates are the true visionaries, the warriors, mystics, the movers and shakers, the healers and alchemists, each bringing their own unique perspectives and gifts to the world. We are so thrilled for the people they will serve in their communities.

This special celebration featured guest speaker Robert Waggoner, a world renowned expert in lucid dreaming, who shared profound wisdom about the power of dreams and the journey of consciousness. We thank you, Robert!

A deep shout out and gratitude to our fearless IDS founder, Justina, Director, Linda, mentors extraordinaire, Isa, Sahlah and Ale. And always the past brilliant IDS graduates and the incredible guest faculty who offered their wisdom and generosity of time to our students. Without you all, this year would not be possible.

Congratulations on Honoring Your Dreams Class of 2025! 🌀🌀🌀
