Product Description Noted dream researcher Stephen LaBerge invites the reader to experience the world of lucid dreaming. Lucid dreaming means dreaming while knowing that you are dreaming. Everyone has, in theory, the capacity to learn to dream lucidly, because everyone dreams every night. Lucid dreamers develop a frame of mind that allows them to recognize when they are dreaming. From that point, they are free to do as they choose. This freedom, hard to imagine in our highly constrained waking reality, is astonishing, exhilarating, and inspiring. The laws of physics and society are repealed. The limits are only those of the dreamer's imagination.

Great book about Lucid dreaming. The fact that it only contains the important information to achieve lucid dreaming is a good point; it allows the rereads you'll probaly need to absorb all the details that apear on the book.
Very good for analytical people April 29, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book was good for people who like the science to back up the metaphysical process and ability. It gave clinical evidence that lucid dreaming exists (in my book) and it also gave examples and practical applications to apply lucid dreaming in your own life. The CD is helpful for self analysis and it can also help you to enter the lucid dream state. There is information on how to condition the mind for lucid dreaming by using queues and affirmations which can be very helpful when you are trying to determine if you are dreaming or not.
Take This One Minute Test August 25, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Look around and observe your environment. Now ask yourself, "Ask I dreaming or am I awake?" Now look at the time on your watch. Let's say, it reads 3:25 p.m. Now look away for a moment. Now look again. If it says 9:55 a.m. then in all probability you are dreaming. This simple reality is one of the techniques that you train yourself to do while you are dreaming a regular dream. When you remember to do this reality check during a regular dream, the chances become very high that you will realize you are dreaming while you are dreaming. This all things impossible become possible. You can fly. You can make love to anyone you can conjure up in your imagination, real or fictional. You could talk to Einstein about the nature of the universe or you could walk with the Buddha amongst fragrant garden in the Orient and discourse on the meaning of life. Once you are lucid, everything you can imagine can become real!
Stephen LaBerge is world authority on this phenomenon, and he has helped thousands to develop the ability of lucid dreaming. This book is a must have read for anyone interested in lucid dreaming.
After you get this one, the others that I recommend to follow are:
Creative Dreaming: Plan And Control Your Dreams to Develop Creativity, Overcome Fears, Solve Problems, and Create a Better Self
Teach Yourself to Dream: A Practical Guide to Unleashing the Power of the Subconscious Mind
The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep
Thank you, Mr. LaBerge for your work.

If you want a more in depth and scientific book about lucid dreaming, Laberge's Explore the World of Lucid Dreaming is better. This short book contains the techniques you need, and all of the most relevant information. The cd is good, not great. Laberge did not need to put some of the introductions on the tracks which take away from the exercises, and instead should have been printed in the book. The two trance tracks are identical except the day track tells you to wake up at the end, and I personally don't care for the lotus visualization--I always get confused as to how to visualize a lotus in my throat--do I look at it from where my eyes are, or look at me as though I am another person... Not clearly defined. He also varies his vocal volume too much--so you can't set an ideal volume because he mumbles at times and is too loud at others. Overall a good book. I also liked The Art of Dreaming, The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep, and Dream Yoga and the Practice of Natural Light. All this reading means little if you don't practice though.
Don't Buy This Book By the Original March 8, 2007 26 out of 28 found this review helpful
I bought this book not realizing it was just a condensed version of the author's book Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming. There is nothing new here except a CD you don't need. If you are new to ludid dreaming you want to stick to Laberge's previous work. If you have already read that, you won't need to spend your money on this. It's like the cliffnotes version with pretty packaging and a CD thrown in to make it sound worth the money. It's simply not.
