I started to much more believe in myself and in my potential. The depth and the energy of the group have tremendously helped. I am terribly grateful.”

“One lucky day I happened upon the Institute for Dream Studies certification program on the Internet. It appealed to me and I traveled from Iceland to the Open Center in New York to attend a DreamSynergy workshop. It turned out to be a crucial encounter for me, and in spite of the geographical distance, I decided to enroll in this program at IDS in Charleston, SC. It was a leap that brought me treasures!”

“I remember the day I decided I was finally going to pursue my life-long dream, to study dreams. It wasn’t long before I “stumbled” upon Justina’s work in my research and fell in love with her essence. It was easy to see that Justina’s authentic self was represented through her work and that inspired me very much. At the time, she was revamping her program and I was told the unfortunate news that I’d have to wait a whole year before it was ready. I decided to seek other programs in the field but was continuously led back to the Institute for Dream Studies. It was then that I knew IDS was going to be worth the wait, and that there would be many blessings to come along with it. I was blessed with a kind, patient, and knowledgeable teacher/s who shaped me into the dreamer I am today — I am very proud to say that and to be a graduate of IDS.”
– Guylaine Richer de Lafleche, Canada, IDS Graduate

“I’m so grateful to have graduated from IDS as a Certified Dreamwork Professional. I love Honoring the Dream and appreciate being able to use the dream exercises to help others find the deeper meaning of their dreams.”
– Amber Dawn McCrackin, IDS Graduate

“Justina Lasley has opened the world of “dreams” for me, and she has been an inspiration for me in expanding my skills in dreamwork. Her insight into dream analysis has helped me to become a confident professional in the dream field.”
– Terri Collins, IDS Mentor and Graduate

“For me dreams have always been a major part of my life, however I lacked the understanding of them. Justina not only helped gift me the language of dreams but the road maps in which to travel along them which a confidence and security within myself. I can’t thank Justina enough for her passion and enthusiasm for the dreams and the work. She is driven to help others understand the language of their own souls, which in my opinion, is one of the greatest gifts anybody can give to another person. Bless you and I love you.”
