Daniel J Taylor researches prophetic dreams and the divine across cultures. He finished his degree in International Journalism from Liverpool John Moores University and masters in International Relations and Security from The University of Liverpool. After a stint teaching American Studies at Canterbury Christ Church University and Power and Politics in World History at City, The University of London, he embarked on a PhD in Anthropology at The University of Edinburgh where he studies prophetic dreams, visions and the divine in Azerbaijani Islamic communities. He has published articles about extraordinary dreaming in The Echo World, Dreamtime Magazine, Patheos and The Wire, after receiving premonitory dreams of the 2017 London terror attacks, the ongoing 2022 Ukraine War and New York subway attacks, attacks on commercial shipping containers in the Red Sea, and the Amsterdam Israel football fan riots of 2024. He has since held dreaming workshops in association with the London Psychedelics Society, and has managed The Olive Tree interfaith centre in Liverpool. Daniel is currently writing a book about his experiences.
