“[A] solid how-to book . . . For amateur dream researchers, this is a must.”—Whole Earth Review

Lucid Dreaming—conscious awareness during the dream state—is an exhilarating experience. Because the world you are experiencing is one of your own creation, you can do the impossible and consciously influence the outcome of your dreams.

Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming goes far beyond the confines of pop dream psychology, establishing a scientifically researched framework for using lucid dreaming. Based on Dr. Stephen LaBerge’s extensive laboratory work at Stanford University mapping mind/body relationships during the dream state, as well as the teachings of Tibetan dream yogis and the work of other scientists, including German psychologist Paul Tholey, this practical workbook will show you how to use your dreams to:

• Solve problems
• Gain greater confidence
• Improve creativity
• Face and overcome fears and inhibitions
• Create a new sense of empowerment and liberation in your life

The techniques you’ll learn in this exciting workbook will make your nightly dream journeys more enjoyable, increase your understanding of yourself, and make you realize that the possibilities of expanding consciousness are far greater than you might think.

This book truly works. The only Lucid Dreaming guide you need.

Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2016

Verified Purchase

I have literally purchased at least 10 copies over the years, either for friends, or because once again, I gave my copy away. There are so many books about Lucid Dreaming now, and I've read many of them; and this is the only one you need to start Lucid Dreaming.

When I first bought this, it was in 2010. I started reading it on Dec. 4th and had my first Lucid Dream on Dec. 30th. It took 26 days of using the book workbook-style, going through a chapter or so a night, and following the instructions. Started a dream journal the first night. At the beginning I never remembered my dreams at all. And just 26 days later I had my first LD. During the following month, continuing to finish the book during this time, I had 30 total Lucid Dreams, sometimes 3-4 in a single night.

I haven't focused on my dreaming for quite a while, but there have been a few times during the years when I wanted a refresher, and I always go back to THIS book. I have actually read the updated versions from LaBerge, and they are simply not as good and concise and as easy to follow as the original. Plus for $8 brand new, you can't go wrong.

I felt my dream abilities expanding

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2019

Verified Purchase

While I was reading this book my dreams began to become longer, more vivid, and more frequent. I would write them down upon waking up, but eventually my dreams became so detailed and lengthy that I would spend up to an hour journaling them. While I enjoyed dreaming every night, I stopped recording them as much because it honestly became too time consuming! Now I only write down a dream if it feels particularly significant. However, writing my dreams played a HUGE part of my recall and I could feel my dream “abilities” expanding immensely. It takes some persistence to maintain. I used techniques in the book that really did help me transition a normal dream into a lucid dream. If you are at all interested in lucid dreaming or just dream recall/control in general, I would highly recommend this book! I skipped over parts I didn’t feel reaignate with me (such as dealing with bad dreams and using lucid dreams to problem solve, etc.) I wasn’t especially interested in people’s personal write-in experiences as well.

I plan on re-reading again soon :)

It works!!!

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2015

Verified Purchase

I started reading the book in mid January and had my first Lucid Dream after 2 weeks. For other novices like me, I highly recommend this book! The first few chapters give a detailed step by step, how to proceed in order to learn how to have lucid dreams. For those who are interested, but have not yet started, I should state that this is not something you can simply read the book and start having lucid dreams. It takes a lot of work, and you have to consistently do the exercises and not get discouraged if you don't succeed right away. I was initially disappointed that I did not have a lucid dream after a week of working on it. But, I continued to do the exercises and finally, after 2 weeks I succeeded in becoming aware that I was dreaming! Success! Very exciting! Without the book, I would have had no idea of what to do or how to proceed. I can't promise that it will work for everyone, but it did work for me.

The phenomenon is real

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2016

Verified Purchase

I read this years ago after having lucid dreams naturally. I didn't know that the dreams could be induced. Until I had read this book, I thought that such phenomena were random. This book worked so well for me that I have been buying it over and over again for friends. It's not a new age book. Lucid Dreaming is actually a distinct phase of dreaming which has been verified. Read the works of Allen Hobson and you will get to know a bit more about what happens when you sleep.
Even though I continually read more books on the subject, this first book worked so well that I choose this one when buying as a gift.

An extraordinary amount of helpful information.

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2014

Verified Purchase

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.

Short but sweet.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 29, 2013

Verified Purchase

I give this book 5 stars as it has an effect on you and helps your lucid dreaming journeys during reading its contents.
Its short and sweet, and to the point. Some stuff can seem repetitive but it doesn't get irritating. A great balance of exercises, dream cycle and psychological explanations of dream patters e.c.t and first hand accounts of peoples experiences.
I would recommend this read to anyone serious about exploring the world of lucid dreaming, though it's the only book I've read on the subject, it still works. Why fix it if it ain't broke, eh?
I was having successful lucid dreaming experiences following its instructions and even half way through the book itself.
Interesting and exciting subject to delve in, and you'd regret life without exploring it at some point.

Wonderful, amazing and works like a charm

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 5, 2011

Verified Purchase

Now this really is a fantastic book. I was looking for something to help me both understand and explore lucid dreaming and this book has been absolutely perfect for this. Stephen Laberge has done a lot of scientific studies into lucid dreaming over the years, using his own experiences and the experiences of others and has come up with great, easy to follow techniques that the reader can use over a period of time to try and become lucid while dreaming. I read a lot of the other reviews before purchasing and was very impressed by what I'd read. People's accounts seemed really positive and encouraged me to give this book a go. I have always had an interest in the subject after experiencing lucid dreams randomly throughout my life but had never before considered learning techniques to induce them. And what a wonderful idea it is. It truly opens up a new world that is difficult to put into words. After reading this book you begin to wonder how more people aren't investigating the amazing possibilities for themselves. I am thrilled with this book and have already started to experience changes in my sleeping and dreaming process and even had my first ever experience of sleep paralysis after reading about it in this book, which was just utterly bizarre! A life changing book for those who crave adventure and discovery!!

Not as many lucid dreams as I'd hoped for.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 26, 2012

Verified Purchase

I quite enjoyed the book at first, but after a while the book got into things that I wasn't really interested in. I suppose there just isn't that much interesting information around on lucid dreaming to fill a three hundred page book.

Nevertheless, some of the techniques do work, and the book is very scientific, most of the time. The problem for me is it seems that after a while techniques stop working for me. I've tried a self hypnosis mp3 ( Sleep Hypnosis for Lucid Dreaming ), and the techniques in this book. Both work, but the self hypnosis mp3 only worked twice in about fifteen attempts. The techniques in this book do work from time to time, however, most of the time I find myself unable to go back to sleep after having woken up early, as the method requires. I don't know if that means that I'm just not the ideal candidate for this, or if I'm doing something wrong, or if the techniques just don't work as well as the author suggests.

Essential Reading for all true enquiring minds !

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 14, 2013

Verified Purchase

This book is not only essential reading for anyone interested in investigating the world of lucid dreaming, I would go so far as to say it is essential reading for everyone. A real eye opener, game changer, paradigm shifter of a book.

We all dream, but few of us pay much attention (few of us know how, or why we should).

If you stop to think about it, we spend at least one third of our lives asleep, and dreaming. Shouldn't we see what's going on down there, in those depths of our being?

What a book !!!
