Lucid Confessions

Have you ever woken shaking from a dream that felt too real to laugh off later?

For as long as I can remember, my nights have been filled with things that walked, watched, whispered – and sometimes reached for me in the dark. Nightmares, sleepwalking, lucid dreams and experiences I still don’t have neat language for.

​

Lucid Confessions is not a ghost story and it’s not a dry clinical case study. It lives in the uneasy space between psychology, spirituality, and Aboriginal cultural beliefs about the unseen. In these chapters I revisit my most disturbing “Night Terrors” through memories, family accounts, neuroscience and culture – searching for answers, and accepting that some questions stay open.

​

This book is for anyone who has ever been told “it’s just a dream” when it felt like so much more. For the people who feel watched in the dark, who learned to stay quiet because their stories sounded too strange to share.

​

If that’s you – or someone you love – I wrote this so you don’t have to feel like the only one.
