Alef Trust student, professional certificate 'psychedelics, altered states and transpersonal psychology'  I've completed a research project investigating the similarities and differences between NDEs and lucid dreams, & how lucid dreams may be used to integrate challenging experiences (supervised by Dr Pascal Michael).

Integrating Exceptional Experiences: Psychedelics, NDEs, and Lucid Dreaming

This presentation addresses the relationship between psychedelic and other exceptional experiences for improved wellbeing. We’ll consider similarities and differences between psychedelic and exceptional experiences, including effective integration strategies. Participants will hear results from research exploring what helps or hinders experiencers as they try to process their psychedelic and exceptional experiences, with specific case studies related to lucid dreaming and near-death experiences. We will also consider open questions and make suggestions for future research.
