Our Core Understanding
Dreaming is something we all do. It is a safe, natural direct experience that with some practice and skill, can be a very rewarding experience for active dream participants. Most people suffer from stunted dream development and our website focuses on neuroscience and cognitive development, and treatment to rehabilitate cognitive atrophy that inhibits quality dreaming. Everyone has 3-5 dreams each night, it is their choice to participate in them or not.
Our Story
At the age of 8, I noticed waking life influences from pop-culture ranging from movies like Star Wars, TV shows and Cartoons were replaying in an interactive dream. Although I didn’t know the science of long-term memory consolidation and dreaming, the self-evident nature of wanting to dream based on these influences fueled my interest in learning how to dream.
At the age of 15, I stumbled upon an article written by Dr. Stephen LaBerge entitled, “Power Trips: Controlling Your Dreams” where he introduced the idea that a person could have self-awareness during a dream and control the dream content.
With in 48 hours of reading the article, I would have my first self-aware dream and LaBerge was correct. I could control it. The dream was so fun and liberating taking the dream experience to levels I never thought possible. This new way to dream shaped my own pursuit of the science, art and development of the dreaming mind as a nightly practice. Starting in 1987, for over 33 years I have enjoyed a rich self-aware dream life nearly every night.
This desire to participate in my own dreams has allowed me to dream anything I desire as real as waking life and quite often better as I train in BTL or Better-Than-Life dreaming. Treating dreams as an art-form and an entertainment system is the right attitude if you want to have fun dreams. Why not? We are all born with this gift but very few learn how to use it. 40 years later, 4 books and a member of the International Association for the Study of Dreams. All that remains is to teach as I have dreamed it all.

“To boldly go where no man has gone before. That’s the Star Trek motto, and for lucid dreamers it rings true, except their universe is inside of them. An entire galaxy or even universe is inside of everyone, and if you want to explore that realm you need a captain to lead the ship. That makes Ian Wilson our Captain Kirk. He’s a master of navigating the lucid dream, and for anyone that wants to go there, I suggest that you allow Ian to be your captain, too.”
