I got a lot out of this book. I have been lucid dreaming more often since I read it. I learned how to control my dreams and overcome nightmares. This book helped me to go on adventures and deal with my issues. This book is a classic. It offers lots of useful and effective techniques as well as some lucid dreaming stories and some good philosophy too. I read this book years ago, and then I gave away my only copy, and then I wanted to read it again, so I bought it a second time. A good book to keep by your bed. I recommend it.

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.

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.

It’s an enlightening read. Until I read the book, I could not describe the dreams I have had where I new I was dreaming and tried to control what was happening like some magical character and after reading book, it’s an incredible sensation to do things that most people only dream about (pun intended).

Exploring the world of lucid dreaming is a comprehensive treatise into the theory and application of lucid dreaming – dreaming with the conscience awareness that you are dreaming. In this book, the author delves into every aspect which can very generally divided into how to have lucid dreams, what you can do in those dreams, then applying that to problem solving for personal growth. Using a combination of research and anecdotes, the author offers several methods and inspiration to encourage the reader to delve into the unique state of lucid dreaming and how controlling your dreams can result in personal breakthroughs and become a unique tool for problem solving.

I really enjoyed this book. There are various methods to try out so the reader will have to find one that works best for them – it’s incredibly fussy too. Like learning anything new, consistency and perseverance are key for your results but well worth it if you have ever accidentally woken up in your dreams or just curious about what dreams are made of.

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.

The techniques in this book work. And a lucid dream is one of the best things you'll ever experience.
