About the author
Clare R. Johnson holds a PhD examining lucid dreaming and creativity and has written extensively on the subject for Llewellyn Publications and Red Wheel. Her books include Llewellyn's Complete Book of Lucid Dreaming (2017), The Art of Lucid Dreaming (2020), The Art of Transforming Nightmares (2021) and Mindful Dreaming (2018). Together they cover the practical techniques for becoming aware within a dream, using lucidity for creative problem-solving and personal growth, and working with nightmares and sleep paralysis as material for healing rather than sources of fear alone. Johnson writes from a research background rather than a purely anecdotal one, combining structured exercises with explanations grounded in dream science. Her books are suited to readers who want a systematic, technique-based approach to dreamwork, from those attempting their first lucid dream to people managing recurring nightmares.
