Sleep & Deep Lucid Dreaming

• Is Dream Control Wrong?

  What are the pros and cons of dream control? Let's look at the attitudes around this topic. Are dreams sacred messages from the unconsious that should not be tampered with or changed in any way? Dr. Clare Johnson identified FOUR levels of dream control during her PhD work at Leeds University.  She shares these in this episode. A lot of people misunderstand what lucid dreaming is and how the dream responds to our thoughts, emotions and expectations. Dr. Clare shares the story of a psychotherapist who froze every time she got lucid in her dreams. She was terrified of changing anything, as she perceived dreams as sacred. But what are the ramifications of this attitude in terms of our wider perception of consciousness?  In this episode, we'll illuminate the transmogrifying nature of the dreaming mind and explore lucid dreaming as a mutual conversation.

• Make money in your dreams? Stock market tips arrive in dreams, says Dr. Bhaskar Banerji

  "My most lucrative investment tips have come from my dreams," says Dr. Banerji.  The wise and marvellous dreamworker candidly shares how he received stock market tips in dreams—advice that astonishingly led to financial success in waking life. In other dreams, Dr. Banerji’s deceased father appeared, offering financial advice to ensure his son's wellbeing from beyond the grave. These dream encounters provided him with valuable - and lucrative! - guidance on where to invest his money. Dr. Banerji, who has a doctorate in Mind-Body Medicine specializing in Health-Related Dreams, recounts how a dream helped him heal from an excruciating physical event. His story serves as a reminder that within us lie depths of healing intelligence—our inner guru—waiting to be accessed through the dreamspace. Dr. Clare Johnson shares a series of luminous lucid dreams that helped her heal from a fibroid tumour. Bhaskar also shares a powerful psychic childhood dream where he saw the school test: each question clearly written out. His dream was exactly correct, so he was able to ace the test... but was accused of cheating by the headmaster! Another intense dream helped Bhaskar potentially evade kidnap by warning him of what was about to transpire. Two people in the travel group he was leading from Laos to Cambodia decided not to heed his dream warning... and they ended up being kidnapped by an ex-militia group. (Fortunately, they were OK in the end.) On this day of Guru Poornima, we’re celebrating the “inner guru” of dream wisdom with this special podcast recorded deep in the Indian jungle. Dr. Bhaskar Banerji organises fabulous Dream Conferences around the globe. Next one is in India in February 2026. Send an email to stay in the loop: [email protected] Dr. Clare's next Lucid Dreaming Ocean Retreat is on Hawaii's Big Island, October 25-29, 2025. Amazingly, a lucid dream incubation temple is being specially built for us, and Dr. Bhaskar will be there, too.

• When your partner cheats on you in a dream

  What does it mean when your partner cheats on you in a dream, or all your teeth fall out? Which symbols do dreams use to send us health messages? Dreams can be baffling and obscure. But they communicate in a symbolic and metaphoric language. When we familiarise ourselves with this, it's incredible to unwrap the deeper meaning within our dreams. In today's episode, Dr. Clare Johnson unpacks four highly common dreams, including dreams where we flee, and dreams of vehicles.  She explores why it's vital to trust your gut when figuring out the meaning of your dream, rather than accepting another person's authority and their imposed idea of what your dream means.  Her book Dream Therapy (US title is Mindful Dreaming) offers many beautiful practices for unwrapping the essence and wisdom of your dreams. There are also blog posts on Dr. Clare's website, such as this one: https://deepluciddreaming.com/2021/04/the-secret-language-of-dreams/ Please leave a review if you're enjoying this podcast. You can listen to all episodes including both mini-classes here, and sign up for free guided meditations and a lucidity guidebook: https://deepluciddreaming.com/podcast/
