Summary

There’s so much misinformation about lucid dreaming on the internet today. But in this episode, our speaker, bestselling author, and lucid dreaming teacher, Charlie Morley sheds light on factual information about lucid dreaming that is scientifically verified. These facts will blow your mind. For instance, did you know that you can use lucid dreams to rewire your brain and develop mastery in a specific skill set like painting or playing the piano? It’s scientifically proven that lucid dreams activate your prefrontal cortex and engage neuroplasticity. Imagine getting better at a skill while you sleep! Find out more about it in this episode. Charlie Morley is a bestselling author and teacher of lucid dreaming and shadow integration. He’s been lucid dreaming for over 20 years and was authorized to teach within the Kagyu School of Tibetan Buddhism by Lama Yeshe Rinpoche in 2008. He has since co-created a holistic approach to dreamwork called Mindfulness of Dream and Sleep alongside mindfulness pioneer Rob Nairn. He’s also written three books that have been translated into 15 languages. Charlie formally became a Buddhist at the age of 19, lived at the Kagyu Samye Dzong Buddhist Centre for 7 years, and completed a 3-month solo meditation retreat at Tara Rokpa Centre in 2016.
