About Andrew Holecek:
Andrew Holecek is an author and spiritual teacher who offers talks, online courses, and workshops in the United States and abroad. As a long-time student of Buddhism, he frequently presents this tradition from a contemporary perspective – blending the ancient wisdom of the East with modern knowledge from the West. Drawing on years of intensive study and practice, he teaches on the opportunities that exist in obstacles, helping people with hardship and pain, death and dying, and problems in meditation. Known as an expert on lucid dreaming and the Tibetan yogas of sleep and dream, he is an experienced guide for students drawn to these powerful nocturnal practices. Check out Andrew’s website to learn more.
“Therefore, you can literally work with really short, micro, lucid dream lenses. Where you can bring lucidity/mindfulness into the transition and see how it is that thoughts create reality at the level of the dreamscape. This is a form of dream-incubation, you can actually watch a thought transform into a dream.” – Andrew Holecek
