The original sleep-laboratory chart records, and the first dream machine, from his pioneering research are on permanent display at The Science Museum, in London.He is a therapist of renown, has introduced new techniques, and has published papers on his methods. His special method of transforming nightmares into lucid dreams is a very successful therapy, and his unique technique of hypno-oneirography (sequential tracing of dream images) has been shown in TV documentaries. He is on the Advisory Board of the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council.
Dr Hearne has been an Inspector for the both the British Accreditation Council and the Open & Distance Learning Quality Council. Dr Hearne has also conducted and had published very many experiments in psychology and parapsychology - particularly in the fields of telepathy and premonitions. He ran BBC TV's Premonitions Bureau, linked with the Out of this World series.
Dr Hearne is frequently in the media, here and abroad - on TV, radio, in newspapers and many magazines. He has appeared on very many TV programmes, including GMTV, Richard and Judy (twice), This Morning, Newsnight, Heaven & Earth (BBC1) (three times), Open House (twice), many documentaries, and chat shows. In one TV programme he successfully treated a lorry driver who experienced an unreasonable reluctance to advance to driving a heavier vehicle. Hypnotic regression established the cause as a forgotten childhood trauma. He has recently been filmed for a Discovery Channel programme on sleep and dreams (in which he stopped a woman's nightmares) and a 13-part series (bdp media productions) on the new alphabet-dream-code technique.
On 10th September, 2002, he was on the national This Morning pogramme, demonstrating past life regression. A current project is a TV programme on the topic of premonitions.
Among his many guest radio appearances, was a recent Radio 4 discussion programme Room for Improvement. Dr Hearne had, for over a year, a regular column in The Express newspaper every Thursday with David Melbourne, on dream interpretation. A recent article of his, introducing his new concept of The Virtual Self, appeared in Positive Health.
Dr Hearne is also a composer. Nick Rosen, writing in The Guardian national newspaper described Hearne's Requiem as 'hauntingly beautiful'. Other works include a Guitar concerto, a Musical, many Songs, and a recently completed full-length Ballet.
Dr Hearne has authored or co-authored several books to date. Click here for details.

*** N.B. Regarding Keith Hearne 's discovery of the ocular signalling technique for communicating from within lucid dreams, here is what eminent Professor Allan Rechtschaffen of Chicago University wrote in September 1975 when Hearne sent him copies of ocular signals he had recorded in the sleep laboratrory at Hull University, England. At the same time, Hearne sent the same copies to Dr William Dement at Stanford University. |

Below we show a few examples of how hypnotherapists are helping people to overcome their problems. Just click onto the links (in blue) to read the full story.
Food related hypnotherapy
About 10 years ago Emma sought an answer to her food-related problems in hypnotherapy. The hypnotherapist regressed Emma to her childhood, where they hoped to find some sort of forgotten food-related trauma.
But during the session, Emma realised she was looking out of someone else's eyes, a woman's eyes. Suddenly many aspects of Emma's past life began to make sense...

New medical research
Hypnotherapy can cut the severity of symptoms substantially and improve the quality of life of patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), says a study of 75 people. Edinburgh University researchers report in the Journal of Clinical Nursing (June) that the biggest improvement from “gut-focused” hypnotherapy sessions was seen in women.

The fertility doctor who has other ways of getting you pregnant
But mostly, he turns to his own holistic team for back-up: 'Michael and I saw a woman the other day,' says Emma Cannon. 'He could find no reason why she wasn't getting pregnant. But it emerged that she'd had two earlier terminations and was crippled by guilt and bereavement. We're now giving her some hypnotherapy to try and clear the emotional block.'

Anti-smoking
An anti-smoking crusader who got more than 10 million smokers to quit has been told he has lung cancer.
Allen Carr, 73, gave up his 100-a-day habit 23 years ago and set about helping others to do the same. He has said if his cancer was a result of his clinics, where he allowed smokers to smoke while they were treated, it was "a price worth paying".
Stars such as Charlotte Church and Sir Anthony Hopkins quit by Mr Carr's Easyway method, which uses psychotherapy and hypnotherapy and aims to convert people into "happy non-smokers".
