Experience Lucid Dreaming

"I’ve had seven lucid dreams, honestly more than I expected"

Quick summary

After a spontaneous lucid dream sparked by a TV series, Ingrid enrolled in Charlie Morley's Quest and has since had seven lucid dreams. They've learned to transition consciously into dreams and are excited to reclaim the 30 years they'll spend sleeping.

Two years ago, I watched Behind Her Eyes. I binged the whole series in a single day and that same night, I had my very first lucid dream.

It happened out of nowhere, but it really marked me. Something clicked. I realised there was a whole world unfolding every night while I slept, and I had barely explored any of it.

I sleep 8 to 9 hours every night. That’s a huge part of my life and the idea of actually using that time felt incredibly exciting.

So two months ago, I enrolled in Charlie Morley’s Lucid Dreaming Quest on Mindvalley.

Since then, I’ve had seven lucid dreams, honestly more than I expected. I’ve flown, met my inner guide, and even walked through walls!

But last night was different.

For the first time, I managed to go directly from the hypnagogic state into a lucid dream. I stayed aware the entire time: the visuals, the transition, even the moment I “fell” into the dream. Absolutely incredible!

Charlie’s techniques really work. And his enthusiasm and passion for teaching make the whole journey even better.

And now I honestly can’t wait to keep practising, to really make use of those 8–9 hours I spend asleep every night. If I keep going, that’s almost 30 years of my life that I can finally reclaim and explore consciously.
