Charlie Morley is a bestselling author and teacher of lucid dreaming, shadow integration and Mindfulness of Dream & Sleep.

Charlie formally became a Buddhist at the age of 19 and lived at the Kagyu Samye Dzong Buddhist Centre for 7 years. He’s been lucid dreaming for over 25 years and was “authorised to teach” within the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism by Lama Yeshe Rinpoche in 2008. Since then, he has written four books that have been translated into over 15 languages and has run workshops and retreats in more than 20 countries.

He’s spoken at Oxford and Cambridge Universities, taught workshops for the NHS, Reuters News Agency, and the Army Air Corps, and presented his work with military veterans on Sky News and at the Ministry of Defence Mindfulness Symposium.

In 2018, he was awarded a Winston Churchill Fellowship to research PTSD treatment in military veterans and continues to teach workshops for people with trauma-affected sleep. These teachings form the core of his latest book Wake Up to Sleep.

In a world first, he trained a group of therapists to use lucid dreaming with their clients, a training that formed the basis of his 100-hour Lucid Dream Facilitator Training, which is now offered every two years.
‍
In 2023, the first scientific study into Charlie’s methods was published in the peer-reviewed journal Traumatology in which 85% of participants experienced “a remarkable decrease in Post Traumatic Stress Symptoms” within 1 week by using lucid dreaming alone.

In 2026 Charlie will offer the first Post Graduate Diploma in Lucid Dreaming at Karuna Dartmoor.

In his past life, he trained and worked as an actor and scriptwriter before running a hip-hop collective called THROWDOWN throughout his 20s.

He now lives in London with his partner, Chloe, a mini-dachshund named Waffles, and a huge chow-chow named Bao.

When he’s not teaching, he enjoys kickboxing, surfing, and pretending to meditate.
