Ep. 203: The Science & Magic Of Lucid Dreaming W/ Charlie Morley

Greetings, SuperFriends! You should know that I'm really excited because I enjoyed this episode so much! You're going to see, or I should say understand, why… Well, today we are joined by Charlie Morley. Charlie is a best-selling author and teacher of lucid dreaming and shadow integration. Now, if you don't know what lucid dreaming is, it is having dreams where you know you're dreaming, but not just that – in lucid dreaming, you can also control your dreams. As I learned, lucid dreaming is a lot more than flying, skydiving, and doing other fun stuff – it's actually a deep spiritual practice that you can use for psychological recovery, accelerated learning and for much more. In fact, Charlie was actually "authorized to teach" within the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism by Lama Yeshe Rinpoche in 2008, and has since developed a holistic approach to dream work called "Mindfulness of Dream & Sleep". He has also written three books which have been translated into 13 languages! He's spoken at Cambridge University, The Houses of Parliament, and he is a regular expert panelist for The Guardian. In 2018 he was awarded a Churchill Fellowship grant to research "mindfulness-based PTSD treatment". Charlie also runs workshops, lectures all over the world, and, as you'll see, he's an absolutely awesome guy. I so enjoyed this interview and I learned so much about lucid dreaming, which I thought I knew a fair bit about. Well, I didn't. I'm also very excited because Charlie and I talked after the show, and we actually decided that we are going to do a 30-day challenge around lucid dreaming, where he will coach a select group of listeners into lucid dreaming and how to actually use it to make an impact to their life. If you want to learn more about that and get involved in the challenge, you can go to https://jle.vi/mastermind. Now, without any further ado, let me introduce you to my lucid dreaming SuperFriend, Charlie Morley. -Jonathan Levi
