My Mission: Evidence-Based Lucid Dreaming Education
Lucid dreaming is one of the most fascinating, enriching, and misunderstood abilities of the human mind.
Since discovering lucid dreaming as a child, it has shaped my life, my interests, my relationship with others, and the way I understand consciousness.
It’s a skill that has greatly enhanced my natural curiosity and search for meaning - and it’s something that deserves to be shared honestly and responsibly.
This page outlines why I teach lucid dreaming, how I approach the subject, and what makes my work different from the usual mixture of spirituality, commercial retreats, and pseudoscience that often distract from the real subject.

Why I Teach Lucid Dreaming
My mission is simple:
To share lucid dreaming in a way that is honest, realistic, scientifically grounded, and accessible.
Lucid dreaming transformed my life long before I ever considered teaching it. It encouraged a love of science, philosophy, self-examination, and critical thinking.
Without it, I’d be a very different person.
I don’t teach lucid dreaming for fame, mystique, or to play the role of a guru. I teach it because I believe this skill can broaden a person’s perspective, increase their resilience, deepen emotional understanding, and spark curiosity about the nature of mind and experience.
Lucid dreaming deserves to be treated with integrity - not as a mystical shortcut, not as therapy cosplay, and not as a commodity wrapped in exaggerated claims.
The Principles Behind My Teaching
Everything I teach is built on these foundations:
• Honesty and clarity
• Realistic expectations
• Effective, evidence-based methods
• Down-to-earth guidance
• Accessibility
• Scientific accuracy
• Freedom from hype, exaggeration, and pseudoscience
My teaching focuses on metacognition, psychological skills, behavioural consistency, and a realistic understanding of how the mind constructs experience.
Lucid dreaming is not a spiritual hierarchy or a retreat package - it is a skill rooted in how you think during both waking and dreaming life.
Staying Independent and Unbiased
Independence is essential for honest teaching.
Many lucid dreaming websites rely heavily on affiliate programmes and paid promotions. This creates pressure to endorse products, courses, or teachers regardless of their accuracy or value. It also leads to the widespread misinformation and commercialisation that frustrates so many learners.
I value independent thinking and intellectual honesty, so I choose a different path.
Affiliate Links
I do not participate in affiliate schemes for lucid dreaming products, courses, or devices.
The only exception is occasional Amazon links to books already discussed in an article, which simply redirect a small percentage away from Amazon and does not influence my recommendations.
Advertising
My website remains free from external advertising.
I will never accept payment to promote lucid dreaming gadgets, pills, sleep masks, or similar products.
I may occasionally collaborate with companies unrelated to lucid dreaming (e.g., musical instruments, arts, education). Such partnerships are rare and always vetted for integrity.
How My Work Is Funded
My income comes from:
• Books and educational materials
• Private lucid dreaming tuition
• Speaking engagements
• Occasional sponsorship from unrelated industries
• Voluntary support from readers and students
My long-term aim is to remain primarily funded by the public rather than companies, maintaining full independence.

Environmental and Social Responsibility
Lucid dreaming is a low-impact, environmentally friendly pursuit. It requires no travel, no equipment, and no physical resources. I aim to reflect this in my own professional practices.
I prioritise:
• Minimal environmental footprint
• Paper-free processes wherever possible
• Sustainable materials and services
• Public transport for events when feasible
• Partnerships with ethical companies
• Constant review and improvement of environmental impact
Socially, I remain committed to transparency, free expression, and intellectual honesty. Lucid dreaming deserves to be represented with integrity.
Why This Work Matters
Lucid dreaming offers a glimpse into the mechanics of consciousness. It improves metacognition, emotional understanding, creativity, and self-awareness. It encourages a humble appreciation of just how strange and remarkable our minds are.
The field is often overwhelmed by exaggerated claims, commercial interests, and teachers who prioritise mystique over accuracy. I want lucid dreaming to remain a skill grounded in reality, not lost to misinformation and fuzzy thinking.
If my contribution helps even a little - by offering a little more clarity, honesty, and a reliable path for serious students - then it’s entirely worthwhile.
I consider myself a temporary custodian, an ambassador, of a subject far bigger than any one person. Lucid dreaming will outlast all of us, and it deserves to be taught with care.
