You can configure sessions class to use a database to store session data, then you can query the sessions table to perform your queries, this is a feature in Laravel itself.

The exact method of configuring sessions will vary by the type of DB you are using, here's a guide to setting up sessions using databases: http://laravel.com/docs/session/config#database
