"Living Dreams is something unique… It is difficult to define: is it a workspace, a technology, a program, a dream, a soul-to-soul conversation? Living Dreams for me was a succession of discoveries of my own self, of other people, of my own abilities, of what it is to be human; it is a dialogue about something most intimate held in a safe space. It is a mirror offered to every participant. For me—an educator who works with people all the time—Living Dreams was an experience of being humble before myself, and thus before every human being, working on my ego—getting to know it, and humbly attempting to tame and befriend it, learning psychological intricacies of working with complex mental states of my own and of other people. Living Dreams is full of discoveries—emotional, intellectual, metaphysical, existential. Moreover, it is spending time in a company of wonderful people. I treasure in my heart everyone I met in Living Dreams."

"For me Living Dreams is a practice:
•    a practice of awareness, observation and being in the present moment, seeing unity of the world in its fragments; experiencing the world’s wholeness 
•    a practice of studying, understanding and comprehending myself, other people and the world
•    a practice of love, openness and compassion
•    a practice of expanding my horizons and going beyond limitations
•    a practice of listening, feeling, going with the flow
•    a practice of coming back to myself and being myself
In Living Dreams, we learn how to be at peace, in harmony and beauty with ourselves, with others and the world; we both consecutively and simultaneously dive into dreams and waking life, so the boundary between them becomes more and more transparent, as we become lighter and more sensitive.
Everyone has his/her own path to the Source. My path is through the dreams. If you have a similar feeling, welcome to the laboratory of dreaming while awake."

"I started working with Living Dreams in 2012, and it was a quantum leap in my understanding of the dream world. I learned a lot about many things—symbols, myths, dreams, psyche, life. I learned how to listen to people and truly see them, as I never was able before. I learned how to stay in a dialogue, see connections, clearly think, speak and write.
    In the course of my study and therapy, I carried out an enormous amount of inner work. The Living Dreams sessions were very intense, deep, challenging and pithy. I saw such a broad expanse of my inner universe that nowadays my “inner stuff” hardly ever frightens me. Living Dreams brought forth symbols and panoramas of my inner world, which later became significant in my waking life. And it is truly wonderful when such inner map is born from within, and not from outside sources, such as books or teachings.
    Living Dreams is a wonderful intellectual and spiritual “workout,” which, honestly speaking, I miss a lot. Michael Yoshpa calls this workout “polyphonic perception,” and it really helps enliven the mind and the soul, and think differently from what we were taught at schools and universities—learn how to look simultaneously from many perspectives: rational, symbolic, imaginal, while engaging emotionally and somatically, and merge scientific, artistic and mythopoetic outlooks. 
    From my own experience, Living Dreams is not only a psychological practice, but also a spiritual one. During the dreamwork sessions, a special working space, governed by synchronicities, is created, in which all is important, where one can come face-to-face with many kinds of things: joyful, vibrant, frightening, mystical, inspiring, etc."

"Living Dreams are an endless journey. Thanks to them, I discovered infinite worlds within, and mastered the method of free associations.

    One of my most important discoveries was becoming familiar with the archetypes, and how they dwell inside me and everyone else. Living Dreams inspired me to study works of C.G. Jung. It was very important to learn that a human being has many parts—light, dark and grey. All these parts live inside us, all are needed for something, and it is very important not to deny the existence of one’s dark sides. So it became much easier for me to accept their presence in my own psyche.

    Living Dreams always inspire me to be truly free and creative in my work and art."
