Green graduated from Oxford University in 1960 with with a B.Litt. Her thesis, on the physiology of altered states of consciousness, was supervised by H. H. Price. She went on to earn a DPhil from Oxford University for a thesis on causation and the mind-body problem.
She has published numerous books and articles on subjects such as lucid dreaming and psychophysics, including Lucid Dreams (with Charles McCreery), Out-of-the-Body Experiences, and The Human Evasion.
