Testimonial from past student: “I have had a first hand experience with Nathan’s coaching about Dream Journaling and let me tell you, it is one of the best things that has happened to me. I was initially skeptical about this course. I even tried to convince Nathan that I didn’t dream! But slowly and surely, I am now more present to my dreams and exploring the dream world has opened up new possibilities for me. I highly recommend this course to everyone. Go for it!!!” — Paras M.

Course Description: “Dream Journaling”
This six-week advanced journaling e-Workshop is for three audiences: (1) those who do not remember their dreams once awakened, but want to learn how, (2) those who want to understand their dreams for greater self-awareness and personal growth, and (3) those who want to learn how to induce their favorite dreams, and explore lucid dreaming. Throughout the course, students are encouraged to keep a daily (or nightly!) journaling habit by writing out their dreams in detail. During weekly conference calls, journaling coach Nathan Ohren teaches techniques for capturing, controlling, and understanding even the strangest of dreams. Why does your fourth grade teacher show up in a scene when you are late for work because elephants are walking across the freeway offramp? If dreams are the messages from our subconscious mind, why not learn how to decipher and interpret them? And, is it really possible to alter the content of your dreams by teaching yourself to become aware when you are in the middle of a dream?
Course Materials
A pen, a notebook, and a “Dream Totem” are the only requirements for this course. (We’ll discuss the Totem in Week #2.) If you’re a person who doesn’t usually remember your dreams, you’ll enjoy the techniques shared!
In addition to daily journaling, you will be encouraged to explore fun homework assignments, tips, “reality tests”, and exercises to enrich the awareness of your dream life. A calendar of weekly conference calls is made available so you can get personalized training. A private page on Facebook is also available for those who want a bulletin board or “journaling circle” to communicate with others in the course.
Course Instructor
For twenty-eight years, Nathan Ohren has experienced the power of personal growth and development through journaling: Getting clarity and confidence during challenging life experiences; Connecting to life’s passions and creativity; Uncovering buried or abandoned goals and dreams; and Keeping ever-mindful of a guiding purpose in life. After completing boxes of private journals, each with compelling stories of anguish and ambition, of trials and triumph, of shame and insight, Nathan decided it was time to share this transformation with others.

Testimonial from past student: “I have started journals countless times only to abandon them in time, leaving me feeling so defeated. This time there was a real structure, and I was not alone in the process. In Nathan’s course, I was able to expand my journaling, being complete every morning and engaged more fully in the rest of my daily activities. The result I created was productivity and vitality. This was grounding for me during a hectic time of transition. Nathan’s course facilitated a real experience of sacredness and freedom.” – Sylvia Stratford, Fresno, CA

Course Description: “Journaling for Passion, Clarity & Purpose”
This six-week journey is for beginners or avid journal-keepers. In the first three weeks, students are encouraged to create a discipline of daily, hand-written entries, identify and explore daily thoughts, feelings, judgments, and opinions. While several techniques are explored, emphasis is placed on stream-of-consciousness journaling, and learning to identify and thank the inner critic. In the following weeks, students are encouraged to (re)discover and explore what matters most, becoming experts in noticing the ordinary and mundane for depth and insight. Topics covered: Forgiveness, courage, clarity, and more. The journal is a perfect place to vent, troubleshoot, plan, dream, and connect with our higher selves, stepping through the doorway to our transformation and personal growth.Course Materials
A pen, a notebook, the willingness to be honest with yourself, and to know yourself are the only requirements for this course. Nathan, your journaling coach, will also recommend additional resources, reading materials, tips, and references to enrich your journey. A calendar of weekly conference calls is made available so you can get up-close and personal training. A private page on Facebook is also available for those who want a bulletin board or “journaling circle” to communicate with others in the course.
