Syllabus - Dreams and ESP: Introduction to Exceptional Dreaming

Instructor:  Ryan Hurd


About the course:

This special four week adult education course will focus on the fascinating topic of Extraordinary dreams, including telepathic and precognitive dreams, as well as other kinds of impactful and “anomalous” events that happen while we sleep. Each week will include a live class broadcast, some suggested readings or videos, and a discussion forum on the topic of the week. We will also have a fun dream telepathy contest for those who wish to take part. Topics will include: extraordinary dreams throughout history; contemporary Dream Telepathy experiments; the connection between precognition (seeing the future) and dreams; and how to work with extraordinary dreams in your own life.


This is a seminar course and will not be graded.
