About

Ian Wilson is a private dream researcher and dream explorer who has been recognized by members of the International Association for the Study of Dreams (IASD) as a pioneer in the exploration of precognitive dream phenomena.

Born March 15th, 1972 in Cranbrook B.C Canada, Ian started his journey into lucid dreaming at the age of 15 when he was inspired by an Omni Magazine written by Stephen LaBerge (1987) entitled, “POWER TRIPS: CONTROLLING YOUR DREAMS“. The article set the precedence for a new way of dreaming called Lucid Dreaming where a person can be awake and aware in the dream with the ability to control it. This started what would become a lifetime adventure in dream exploration and consciousness during sleep.

This interest in dreaming lead to some remarkable experiences that demonstrated some dreams could, in fact, come true. These dreams are known as precognitive dreams and often link to a “Déjà Vu” experience called “Déjà Rêvé“, where during the onset of “Déjà“, the person links the memory to a dream. From 1988 onward, Ian would start to consciously explore precognitive dreams from within a lucid dream state.

Ian has been written about and discussed by

“Many years ago, through my research, Ian discovered his past dreams that were linked to future events gave rise to a form of déjà experience that involved precognition. He found out he was not alone. It turned out that many others have déjà vu experiences that derive from precognitive dreams. These are sometimes referred to as “déjà rêvé” which means “already dreamt””

“If you’re looking for a talented explorer of consciousness with lots of experience, Ian Wilson has it. Two decades of lucid dreaming to draw upon coupled with insights and ideas makes for entertaining interviews. Check out the podcasts, and see for yourself.”

“Ian Wilson is a true visionary, figuratively and literally. A riveting storyteller, Ian’s decades of lucid dreaming experience have yielded countless mind-blowing anecdotes that should be experienced by anyone with a serious interest in the topic. Ian’s commitment to the scientific method and rigorous research have led him to perform dream experiments that intersect with waking consciousness in astounding ways. Meticulously documenting his dream exploits in language that is wonderfully evocative, yet blessedly down-to-earth, Ian additionally excels in the “how-to” realm: providing expert guidance and easy to follow tips for novices to induce lucid dreaming, and sage advice on how to break through remaining barriers for more experienced dreamers. If you have the opportunity to attend a workshop captained by this Starship Dreamer, by all means, beam up!”

— Richard Long, bestselling author of “The Book of Paul”

“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.”

— J.M DeBord, author of “The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings” and Dreams 1-2-3: Remember, Interpret, and Live Your Dreams

“Ian Wilson has spent more than 30 years in the Art of Dreaming which includes his amazing ability to Lucid Dream in detail, and share his Dreaming with Others. In my opinion, as a master dreamer in the realm of Lucid, Precognitive, and Warning Dreams, Ian Wilson is also a master dreamer.”

“Ian is the most ardent student of lucid dreaming I have met, and we are fortunate that we have access to his work. He’s gone beyond the work of Moss and Laberge in my opinion.”
