Daniel Love is an internationally recognised lucid dreaming teacher specialising in consciousness, dreaming, and the psychology of sleep. He is the founder of The Lucid Guide and International Lucid Dreaming Day, and the bestselling author of Are You Dreaming? and its philosophical companion, Lucid: The Tao of Dreaming - widely regarded as essential books for anyone learning how to lucid dream.

His journey into lucid dreaming techniques did not begin with a spiritual calling, but with a practical need.

His journey into lucid dreaming techniques did not begin with a spiritual calling, but with a practical need. From early childhood, Daniel experienced severe recurring nightmares and sleepwalking, and gradually learned to develop lucidity and dream control as a way of navigating his nights. That early experience led to over 40 years of personal investigation into dreaming, sleep, and consciousness, followed by more than 20 years of teaching lucid dreaming to students around the world.

Daniel teaches a clear, scientifically responsible approach to learning lucid dreaming grounded in psychology, philosophy, critical thinking, and direct experience. His work avoids pop-spiritual explanations in favour of methods that are realistic, testable, and applicable in everyday life. Many people are drawn to conscious dreaming because it feels significant long before they can explain why, and Daniel treats that pull with respect rather than dismissal or easy answers. At the heart of his teaching is a simple aim: to provide the kind of honest, reliable guidance he wished had existed when he was younger.

He is the creator of the Cycle Adjustment Technique (CAT) and the Artistic Response Test (ART), two foundational frameworks used by students and researchers worldwide to develop reliable lucid dreaming skills and improve nightmare-affected sleep. These and other proven methods form the core of his lucid dreaming courses and private tuition work.

Daniel’s authority is grounded in the history of lucid dream research itself. He is endorsed by Dr Keith Hearne, the scientist responsible for the first laboratory verification of lucid dreaming, who described Daniel as:

“The most authentic and comprehensive lucid dreaming teacher of our time.”

His expertise in sleep and consciousness has been featured by the BBC, CNN, and The New York Times, and he has worked as a dream science consultant on international media projects, including productions for Amazon Prime and Finite Films.

Alongside private tuition and ongoing research, Daniel runs the popular YouTube channel Daniel Love – Lucid Dreaming Teacher, where he challenges common myths and helps people move from vague ideas about lucid dreaming towards clarity, confidence, and genuine skill. His practical, evidence-based approach has helped thousands of people learn lucid dreaming through structured instruction.

He lives and works in Devon, England, where his days are split between teaching, reading, writing, and thinking about the mind (often out loud). When not working, he can usually be found walking near the coast or attempting to debate philosophy with his cat, Chikon, who remains unconvinced by most arguments.

Quotes by Daniel Love (?)

“There is a majesty to lucid dreaming that is almost beyond words. To find yourself present and aware in another world, a universe within your own mind, is simply so far removed from our daily "normal" experiences that it can quite literally take your breath away.”
― Daniel Love

“During the REM stage of sleep, the body becomes essentially paralysed; however, the eye and respiratory muscles remain active. Perhaps, if these muscles were behaving in synchronicity with the dreamt actions of the dreamer (i.e. dreamt eye movements affecting physical eye movements, and dreamt breathing patterns occurring in unison with bodily breathing), then a lucid dreamer, having conscious volition, could be asked to send a prearranged signal via one of these routes (specific eye movements or breathing patterns) during the process of dreaming.
For it was Hearne who first demonstrated, through a truly ingenious experiment, that a lucid dreamer could consciously signal the waking world from the world of dreams; in other words, a message could be sent from one reality to another.”

“Whilst awake, our thoughts and moods are largely the result of the events occurring around us. Dreaming is the reverse. In dreams, the environment and events we find ourselves in are the result of our thoughts, expectations and mood.”
