“[A] solid how-to book . . . For amateur dream researchers, this is a must.”—Whole Earth Review Lucid Dreaming—conscious awareness during the dream state—is an exhilarating experience. Because the world you are experiencing is one of your own creation, you can do the impossible and consciously influence the outcome of your dreams.
Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming goes far beyond the confines of pop dream psychology, establishing a
scientifically researched framework for using lucid dreaming. Based on Dr. Stephen LaBerge’s extensive laboratory work at Stanford University mapping mind/body relationships during the dream state, as well as the teachings of Tibetan dream yogis and the work of other scientists, including German psychologist Paul Tholey, this practical workbook will show you how to use your dreams to
• Solve problems
• Gain greater confidence
• Improve creativity
• Face and overcome fears and inhibitions
• Create a new sense of empowerment and liberation in your life
The techniques you’ll learn in this exciting workbook will make your nightly dream journeys more enjoyable, increase your understanding of yourself, and make you realize that the possibilities of expanding consciousness are far greater than you might think.

"I have literally purchased at least 10 copies over the years, either for friends, or because once again, I gave my copy away. There are so many books about Lucid Dreaming now, and I've read many of them; and this is the only one you need to start Lucid Dreaming.
When I first bought this, it was in 2010. I started reading it on Dec. 4th and had my first Lucid Dream on Dec. 30th. It took 26 days of using the book workbook-style, going through a chapter or so a night, and following the instructions. Started a dream journal the first night. At the beginning I never remembered my dreams at all. And just 26 days later I had my first LD. During the following month, continuing to finish the book during this time, I had 30 total Lucid Dreams, sometimes 3-4 in a single night.
I haven't focused on my dreaming for quite a while, but there have been a few times during the years when I wanted a refresher, and I always go back to THIS book. I have actually read the updated versions from LaBerge, and they are simply not as good and concise and as easy to follow as the original. Plus for $8 brand new, you can't go wrong."

- I have literally purchased at least 10 copies over the years, either for friends, or because once again, I gave my copy away. There are so many books about Lucid Dreaming now, and I've read many of them; and this is the only one you need to start Lucid Dreaming.
When I first bought this, it was in 2010. I started reading it on Dec. 4th and had my first Lucid Dream on Dec. 30th. It took 26 days of using the book workbook-style, going through a chapter or so a night, and following the instructions. Started a dream journal the first night. At the beginning I never remembered my dreams at all. And just 26 days later I had my first LD. During the following month, continuing to finish the book during this time, I had 30 total Lucid Dreams, sometimes 3-4 in a single night.
I haven't focused on my dreaming for quite a while, but there have been a few times during the years when I wanted a refresher, and I always go back to THIS book. I have actually read the updated versions from LaBerge, and they are simply not as good and concise and as easy to follow as the original. Plus for $8 brand new, you can't go wrong. - I started reading the book in mid January and had my first Lucid Dream after 2 weeks. For other novices like me, I highly recommend this book! The first few chapters give a detailed step by step, how to proceed in order to learn how to have lucid dreams. For those who are interested, but have not yet started, I should state that this is not something you can simply read the book and start having lucid dreams. It takes a lot of work, and you have to consistently do the exercises and not get discouraged if you don't succeed right away. I was initially disappointed that I did not have a lucid dream after a week of working on it. But, I continued to do the exercises and finally, after 2 weeks I succeeded in becoming aware that I was dreaming! Success! Very exciting! Without the book, I would have had no idea of what to do or how to proceed. I can't promise that it will work for everyone, but it did work for me.
- I've had lucid dreams occasionally ever since I was five. Read his first book soon after it came out. Interesting and inspiring at the time, but this book has the benefit of years of research. Whenever I had a lucid dream, all I could think of to do was fly. Sometimes a wonderful experience, but lately I was even having trouble with no-effort flying. Happily, I ran across Waggoner's book, which readily explained my struggle (bringing physical concepts into the dream) and made me aware of some exciting pursuits other than the usual flying. Inspired, I moved on to this book to keep my focus. It isn't as fun and easy to read, but it's packed full of worthwhile information, especially tips for having more lucid dreaming experiences, even at will. Slower reading, I got a bit bogged down with some of the exercises and suggestions, and am only a third through the book, savoring it. So much there, best to try only what especially appeals to you. Had my first fully lucid dream in quite a while a couple weeks into it & tried out interviewing dream characters. Opens worlds.
- While I was reading this book my dreams began to become longer, more vivid, and more frequent. I would write them down upon waking up, but eventually my dreams became so detailed and lengthy that I would spend up to an hour journaling them. While I enjoyed dreaming every night, I stopped recording them as much because it honestly became too time consuming! Now I only write down a dream if it feels particularly significant. However, writing my dreams played a HUGE part of my recall and I could feel my dream “abilities†expanding immensely. It takes some persistence to maintain. I used techniques in the book that really did help me transition a normal dream into a lucid dream. If you are at all interested in lucid dreaming or just dream recall/control in general, I would highly recommend this book! I skipped over parts I didn’t feel reaignate with me (such as dealing with bad dreams and using lucid dreams to problem solve, etc.) I wasn’t especially interested in people’s personal write-in experiences as well.
I plan on re-reading again soon ) - I read this years ago after having lucid dreams naturally. I didn't know that the dreams could be induced. Until I had read this book, I thought that such phenomena were random. This book worked so well for me that I have been buying it over and over again for friends. It's not a new age book. Lucid Dreaming is actually a distinct phase of dreaming which has been verified. Read the works of Allen Hobson and you will get to know a bit more about what happens when you sleep.
Even though I continually read more books on the subject, this first book worked so well that I choose this one when buying as a gift. - The book is too long and has so many techniques and explanations that makes it confusing. Perhaps the author was trying to create an all-encompassing source of information on lucid dreaming, but in the end I wish it was more simple and straight to the point. After reading it I still didnt know where to start and which techniques to use (the author recommends to try all the techniques) and so felt I should read it again to review everything. Not the best feeling to have after reading a book IMO.
- This book has a strong grasp of the subconscious.
It tells many misconceptions about dreams. Shows that although dreams can have deep meaning and lead to enhanced understanding, they don't always have to. Some dreams are a means of maintaining your mental architecture. Some dreams are fantasies. Some do have deep meaning. Some are how the mind heals itself.
It explains many mental triggers. Shows how imagery affects perception. How to deliberately build dreams and how those affect the waking state. This book can help readers gain a stronger connection to their dreams, and learn to treasure their dreams.
