5.0 out of 5 stars Strange And Powerful Account, March 30, 2005

This review is from: Tales of a Lucid Dreamer: The Strange and Bizarre Stories of Another Kind. (Paperback)

Dave concretely displays the unique ability to "Get In Your Head" by purposely throwing the reader off the path with off beat rhythms. He has mastered the rare "Socratic" technique typically used in philosophic works. This style is strangely effective when his realistic stories are put into the context of the reader's perspective. Before Dave's strange but vivid account of lucid dreams, I carelessly took this phenomenon for granted.

This review is from: Tales of a Lucid Dreamer: The Strange and Bizarre Stories of Another Kind. (Paperback)

The book is non-stop thrills that keep the imagination spinning!
Really makes you think about the old belief in "are we alone on planet Earth".
Readers of Dave Gamboa will cheer when they finish the story of "The Tunnel People".
You will not be able to put it down long enough to get your next "cold one" out of the fridge.
Very gripping yet very controversial.
These are not your "mommies" bedtime stories anymore!!

This review is from: Tales of a Lucid Dreamer: The Strange and Bizarre Stories of Another Kind. (Paperback)

The stories were reasonably enjoyable however I'm guessing this was self-published as it was full of grammatical errors which did become irritating after a while. Other than that, it was a wonderfully descriptive account of the dreamworld and made a relatively enjoyable read.
