Want to learn to lucid dream? This is the book.,
By
This review is from: Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming (Mass Market Paperback)
This is THE book on lucid dreaming. It is a manual of how to lucid dream containing every main technique with clear instructions including a detailed description of the technique that the author used to learn to become lucid in his dreams at will. It is also filled with descriptions of the lucid dreaming experiences of many other people. Dr. Laberge is a rigorous scientist and you will not find any irresponsible conclusions about the the topic or pseudo-science. After becoming interested in lucid dreaming, I scoured the net and read everything about the topic that I could find, but after 6 months I had no success. However this is the book that got me going in the right direction and now I am having lucid dreams regularly. If you get one book on lucid dreaming, this is the one. His earlier book, called Lucid Dreaming, is also very good if you want a more detailed description of the history of lucid dreaming or discussion and philosophy of lucid dreaming. In short, the book 'Lucid Dreaming' provides lots of background and 'Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming' is the "How to" manual.

Useful techniques but dull metaphysics...,
By Boileau0663 (Tournai, Belgique) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming (Mass Market Paperback)
On the one hand I found this (very cheap and handy)book very useful in that it contains detailed, clear descriptions of lots of different techniques for inducing lucid dreams. I often read it in the dead of the night after my first awakening in order to focus my mind on lucid dreaming before going to sleep again and I have found it very effective in inducing a heightened state of consciousness in dreams.On the other hand, this is a very irritating book because of Laberge's dogmatic insistence that dreams are just mental constructions, illusions created by the brain, which in philosophical jargon I term a typical case of scientific reductionism: the "nothing more than" disease which afflicts the whole scientific establishment in the West. Although the author does not realize it, such a trivial theory undermines his whole case for trying to have lucid dreams and getting answers to deep questions from dreams in the first place: why should one bother about illusions? Besides, if the content of dreams comes solely from one's individual brain, how can one expect to find anything new in one's dreams? Obviously this is an illustration of the famous principle GI-GO (garbage in/garbage out). Of course, being a Western scientist trained at Stanford University, Laberge could not possibly have come up with more exotic but perhaps more accurate explanations, namely the existence of etheric bodies and realms, which have a transpersonal nature. Buy the book for the methods and tricks but look for inspiration elsewhere. Where? This is a hard question. No matter how much inspiration self-proclaimed dream guides purport to draw from their fantastic adventures in dreamland (I'm thinking of Robert Moss), I haven't as yet read a single really well-written book on dreams and lucid dreaming, although the topic is such an interesting one. All are trivial, boastful and superficial, if not downright misleading. Maybe the best solution is to trust yourself and go through the whole process of trial and error with the aid of the few tricks that really work for you, tricks which you can find easily on the Internet. Unless you are a psychic, it is a long process, believe me (certainly not one that cannot be accomplished in 30 days!).

Unbe-FREAKIN'-lievable book.,
By "areyoudreaming_checkit" (Boulder, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming (Paperback)
This book is unreal. I could not put it down. I have read many, many books on the subject, and this is the only text that covers the subject in a scientific, rather than SUPERNATURAL way. it's SCIENCE, people! and it's absolutely fascinating. it will change your life. i'm sure you hear that every day, and you can choose to read this review and dicard it, but either way, it's unreal. It will change the way you see your waking life as well as your dream life. NOT just on a short-term basis, as so many self-help books, but in a meaningful, realistic, down-to-earth approach that dates back to Buddhist monks seeking Enlightenment (if you are a hard-core Christian, please don't be alarmed at this point... many of their theories are applicable to you, as well). Anyway, it is a life-changing book. You will begin to see how many people "sleep-walk" through their waking life and "wake-walk" through their sleeping life. I have had 3 lucid dreams since reading this book 3 months ago, and each is more enjoyable than the one before. the last one i had was by far the most exhilirating experience of my life. as good as sex (i won't go as far as to say "better than sex"). it's unreal. just buy it... i SWEAR to you it will be worth every penny.
