California Lucid Dreaming

Life is a Festival #122: Jonah Gabriel Haas (Lucidity Festival)

“And finally, you would dream ... where you are now. You would dream the dream of living the life that you are actually living today.” - Watts

Do you lucid dream? The kind where you awaken inside the dream and can bend it to your will? Do you fly? Make love? Or maybe just let the dream play out? Would you maybe create a festival? Today’s guest Jonah Gabriel Haas is the cofounder and marketing director for Lucidity Festival, a dreamy annual adventure amidst the coastal California Oaks of Santa Barbara.

Before we get into the festival, we discuss lucid dreaming and how to cultivate the practice in your own life. We go over the origin story and the seven core values of the gathering. Then we get heady on transformation, in trilogies, circles and seasons. We discuss a four stage model for developing conscious awareness and how that fits in with Lucidity's twelve chapters. We end our conversation with the reveal of the Lucid Multiverse NFT adventure and the mint that dropped right as we published this podcast.

Lucidity Festival lands in Live Oak campground outside of Santa Barbara on April 8th. This will be the 9th edition of the popular transformational festival. Jonah is the cofounder and marketing director of Lucidity and has been designing experiences for over 10 years. He is an avid lucid dreamer, has a Masters Degree in Cultural Anthropology, and loves otters.
