The Certificate in Dream Studies (26 units) is a pioneering program for an accredited university.
The program is designed for students and professionals who desire to work with and explore dreams for use in education, research, consulting and writing.
We spend one-third of our lives sleeping and one-third of that time dreaming. Throughout human history, dreams have been shown to be an important vehicle in problem solving, creativity, self-growth and spiritual inspiration. This program offers students a chance to explore this vital part of human existence - the inner worlds of dreams.
The program is comprised of 15 courses that directly address the study of dreams. Experts, authors and researchers who have dedicated their lives to exploring this important state of consciousness teach these classes and guide students through their studies.
