I’m pleased to announce that my latest book, Love Divine in Lucid Dreaming: When Jesus Met Me in My Dreams is now available in the UK/Europe via Amazon! (Archive Publishing, 2026).
This book recounts what happened when Jesus met me in my lucid dreams over the course of more than fifteen years, sometimes appearing in his bodily form and other times in words, music, or light.
As readers of my other books will know, in lucid dreaming the dreamer not only becomes aware that they are dreaming but also can choose how they will focus their attention. In the dreams featured in this collection, my choice within lucidity has been to wait on the Lord in prayer and praise and to see what happens next. Through my lucid encounters with Jesus, I have come to understand that the Holy Spirit lives within every heart.
Jesus lived a life of absolute surrender, even to death. This was the price He was prepared to pay to teach us how to live and truly love without fear, in this world and beyond. My meetings with Jesus showed me that we can follow His path by learning to “die before we die” when we become lucid in our dreams and dare to open our hearts. Yielding in this way, to what I call “Lucid Surrender” ™, can empower each of us to know ourselves as God’s dearly beloved and to act in accordance with this knowledge, in both our dreams and waking life.
Love Divine in Lucid Dreaming is about what happens when we create space for God to act, in dreams, in prayer, and, most of all, in the surrendered heart. In our deeply troubled world, we find here a genuine spiritual resource, reminding us that God still meets, communicates, and loves us with a particularity and tenderness that takes our breath away.

Love Divine in Lucid Dreaming is profoundly inspiring; it feels as though it opens the way for new genre. In this book, the familiar symbols of the Christian faith are experienced in an entirely new way. The book unfolds as a timeless journey, one in which we become co-dreamers and emerge as changed persons through grace.
The Reverend Dr Joseph Balint Gabor, Landscape painter and Theologian
Whatever one may believe about Jesus as a religious figure, symbol, or historical entity, this book demonstrates the power of lucid dreaming when approached from a spiritual perspective, with humility and an open heart.

In the Sufi tradition dreams, lucid dreams and visions are experienced in the interworld between spirit and matter, the ‘alam al mithal’. Melinda Powell’s personal and profound experience of Divine Love is a testament to this eternal presence behind all reality.Nigel Hamilton, PhD, Former UK Representative for the Inayatiyya Sufi Order, Founder, Centre for Counselling & Psychotherapy Education and Co-Founder of the DRI, author of Awakening Through Dreams: The Journey Through the Inner Landscape
