A New Way of Being

Harness The Power Of Lucid Dreaming For Psychological Growth: Charlie Morley


Listen Later

We spend a third of our lives asleep - so why not use some of that time to learn, heal from past traumas and grow psychologically and even physically? Charlie Morley is a teacher of lucid dreaming, which is where you are asleep and in a dream, but you know that you are dreaming and can start to consciously direct your dream at will. It's a practice that has been used for thousands of years by Buddhists, mystics and shamans - and science has now caught up, proving the undoubted power lucid dreaming can provide.

Charlie has been lucid dreaming for over twenty years and was authorised to teach within the Kagyu School of Tibetan Buddhism in 2008. He is also a multiple best-selling author and teacher of shadow integration. In this episode we discuss:


  • what's going on in the brain during a lucid dream
  • how science has caught up and proven its efficacy - including in terms of physical benefits for athletes
  • what the psychological benefits can be - from dealing with traumas to addictions and phobias
  • working with your 'shadow' (parts of your unconscious mind normally out of reach in the waking state)
  • what to do when you are in a lucid dream for maximum benefit
  • the key practices to start lucid dreaming tonight

    My debut book - Champion Thinking: How to find success without losing yourself - is available for pre-order now. Drawing on some of my favourite interviews from this podcast over the last five years, I want to challenge our ideas about 'success', and where peace, joy and fulfilment are truly to be found.
