The author of this book spent way too much time on dreams and way to little time on actual astral travel. Her attempts at astral travel seem to be little better than vivd dreams. I was really dissapointed by this book. If you are looking for a book to help you astral travel, leave this one on the shelf and find a btter one. Although I am sure the author was sincere, the book fell short of what I wanted.

The author seems to confuse Out of Body Experiences and higher Lucid dreaming in her book. Much of her OBE experiences seems to end in failure and nothing seems to come of them. While this may be her experiences, it isn't what I was expecting from an author on Out of Body Experiences. This is a fair book if you have much material on OBE and want to continue reading about it... Beginners stay away please!

For anyone who is new to the area of OBEs, this is a great starting point. The book goes into great detail on methods for achieving OBEs, and also gives personal experiences. It also covers the differences between OBEs and Lucid dreaming.

If you are new to this area, I highly recommend the book. However, if you have been down this path already many times, it may be a bit slow for you.

If you are interesting in influencing your dreams then this is the book you're looking for. If you want to learn or read about out of body travel, there are many other (good) books on the subject.

This is a perfect example of the true meaning "Don't judge a book by its cover". The amount of people that have bought this very book (which is in its millions), show how many are beguiled by front covers. I'll be the first to admit that I fell into the trap regarding this book.

"Astral Odyssey" is 95% nonsense regarding dreams and the other 5% mentions everything you probably already know about astral projection (OBE's).

The front cover has the copy "Exploring out-of-body experiences" and within Chapter 1 'Discovery of a hidden realm', you do believe you're onto a winner of a book, until page 3 (of 255 pages), where it all goes down hill. Obviously 'OBE' books sell more than 'dream' books, at least this would explain why this dream book has been marketed towards people with OBE interest.

A complete phoney...don't be fooled.
