Product Description
Product Description
"Forget your 3D cinema and TV, and your virtual cyber-worlds - these are but pale electronic imitations of what you can access through your own mind. This book shows you how to dream lucidly, which means waking up inside dreams while still physiologically asleep. Lucid dreaming is a genuine altered state of consciousness, not merely vivid dreaming, in which you can find yourself in other realities that seem as real as waking consciousness. There is no limit to the creations you can explore, because the biological wonder that is your brain is the most complex thing we know of. You can have fun, meet departed friends and relatives as if they were still alive, rehearse actions you have to undertake in the normal world of daily reality, experience mystical and paranormal mind states, and much more. A third of our life is spent asleep, and in an average lifetime we experience about half a million dreams. Yet for most of us that part of our existence is like a closed book. We might remember an occasional vivid dream, but usually our dreams are just vague, fragmented shadows that evaporate in our minds as soon as we open our eyes. This book explains the history and nature of dreams and lucid dreams, and then presents a uniquely comprehensive range of techniques, tools and aids for attaining lucid dreaming. So leave your 3D glasses behind and train yourself to plunge into the inner virtual worlds that lie beyond your dreams."

If you realise that you are dreaming during a dream then that dream becomes a lucid dream.
After reading four books devoted mainly or entirely to lucid dreams, I can recommend this 197 page book as giving a good general introduction. The other three books I read were:- Lucid Dreaming, by Stephen LaBerge; Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming, by Stephen LaBerge and Howard Rheingold; and The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep, by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche.
This book is specially strong on the history of acceptance of such dreams. Although lucid dreams have been described sporadically for many hundreds of years, until the 1980s most sleep and dream researchers dismissed the possibility. Such 'dreams' were explained away as brief awakenings from sleep and of no interest. Vivid dreaming occurs during a stage of sleep associated with rapid eye movements , (REM sleep). During REM sleep most voluntary muscle is paralysed, but not eye movement. In 1975,at Hull University England, Hearne and Worsley demonstrated that Worsley could repeatedly signal that he was having a lucid dream with eye signals, while his brain waves confirmed that he was asleep. Hearne had some difficulty getting his research published: in 1977 he delivered a paper but the scientific establishment resisted accepting his results, though his PhD thesis was published by Liverpool University in 1978. LaBerge, in California, independently figured that eye movements gave a method of signalling lucid dreams and was able to demonstrate signals from a lucid dream in 1978; again attempts at publication were frustrating. By 1981 LaBerge and colleagues had accumulated so much data supporting lucid dreaming that the topic gained widespread scientific acceptance.
If your main concern is to have the maximal help to experience lucid dreaming as soon as possible , I would advise reading first Lucid Dreaming by LaBerge.
