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
