Dreaming The Path: A workshop exploring dreams and Dharma practice Led by Arthabandhu

Dreams are often an overlooked part of our lives. We may rarely speak about them or give them much attention. Yet within the Buddhist tradition, dreams are seen as an opportunity for spiritual growth, and even a path towards awakening.

This workshop explores how reconnecting with our dreams can open us to deeper levels of energy, creativity, and self-understanding. Many of us remember the sense of magic and wonder dreams had in childhood, but over time we can become alienated from this dimension of our experience.

As part of the workshop, we will introduce the practice of lucid dreaming—learning to become aware within the dream itself—and explore how this connects with Buddhist Dream Yoga. Through simple practices and shared exploration, we can begin to rediscover the richness of our dream life and engage with it as a meaningful path of transformation.

The workshop will explore:

Practical ways to develop a richer dream life

The connection between Lucid Dreaming a Buddhist Dream Yoga practices

The benefits of bringing mindfulness and loving-kindness into our dreams

How connecting with our dreams enriches our waking lives

Arthabandhu is an ordained member of the Triratna Buddhist Order and has been practising Buddhism and engaging with dreams for over 25 years. His exploration includes lucid dreaming, Buddhist Dream Yoga, and Gestalt approaches to working with dreams.

Over the years he has kept detailed dream diaries illustrated with paintings and other artwork. These are now featured in his zine Stuff of Dreams:

“Arthabandhu’s dream workshop gave me deeper insight into my dreams and their meaning. Drawing and annotating my dream helped ground my understanding and gave me a language to express deeper realisations.”
