This book does an excellent job explaining the history as well as the physiological and psychological aspect of dreaming and lucid dreaming. Even though it was published in 1985 and there is now more current research, the science and studies explained in this book are eye opening on how lucid dreaming can be intentional, recorded and beneficial. Great book to learn what lucid dreaming is and how it can be used ( ) Interesting short book about lucid dreaming and how to increase your chances of having a lucid dream (if that kind of thing interests you!). Slight negative; it seems that the book was originally sold with an audio recording, but that is not available in the online version, despite being referenced in the book. The book I’m here reviewing is Lucid Dreaming by Stephen LaBerge published in 1985 (304 pages). I found the book readable in part, but much of it was quite boring. It is a well-written, intellectual/cerebral account not only of lucid dreaming but dreaming as a whole and other related subjects. The author is irritatingly skeptical, and, for instance, does not believe that out-of-body experiences are real, but that they are a form of lucid dreaming. He himself has had several out-of-body experiences but uses his own form of logic to explain them away. In conclusion, I would say that many will appreciate this book, which is an all-round theoretical approach to the subject, but I myself was disappointed, and will now be looking for other hopefully more captivating books on lucid dreaming, and OBEs also for that matter. To have a lucid dream is to be consciously aware of your dream while you are having it. This has been studied by the author at the Stanford University Sleep Research Center. By controlling your dreams, you can control the quality of your waking life. Subjects have overcome long-term, deep-seated fears, anxieties, and phobias. Creativity can be awakened. no reviews | add a review
