Lucid dreaming and out-of-body experiences workshops in Amsterdam.

About

Lucid dreaming (LD) and out-of-body experiences (OBEs) are altered states of consciousness. LD is the experience of becoming aware that you are dreaming while the dream is still unfolding, or of entering a dream directly from wakefulness while remaining fully conscious. As for an OBE, it is a complex phenomenon with multiple definitions, which can occur in various forms. In a broad sense, it is an experience in which you perceive yourself to be conscious outside of your physical body. This could mean you have a different body, or no body at all. Alternatively, perhaps your body looks just like yours, but from your perspective, you are in a reality different from regular waking reality. In both LDs and OBEs, experiences are accompanied by a variable ability to influence events and aspects of the experience, such as the environment, encountered entities, and how you perceive yourself.

My name is Karine Miras. From my perspective, lucid dreaming, out-of-body experiences (OBEs) and experiences sometimes referred to as astral projection take place within the space of the mind. At the same time, I acknowledge and respect the different beliefs and interpretations surrounding these experiences. For me, however, the interpretation is not the most important aspect. What truly matters is the depth, meaning, and transformative potential of the experience itself.

Over the years, I have learned how to intentionally induce the altered states of consciousness that allow for such experiences. I personally use them for psychological growth, self-discovery, existential freedom, and as an approach to consciousness (spirituality). Having experienced their transformative potential firsthand, I now wish to share this knowledge with others, so that they too can benefit from these experiences.
