Product Description
Noted dream researcher Stephen LaBerge invites the reader to experience the world of lucid dreaming. Lucid dreaming means dreaming while knowing that you are dreaming. Everyone has, in theory, the capacity to learn to dream lucidly, because everyone dreams every night. Lucid dreamers develop a frame of mind that allows them to recognize when they are dreaming. From that point, they are free to do as they choose. This freedom, hard to imagine in our highly constrained waking reality, is astonishing, exhilarating, and inspiring. The laws of physics and society are repealed. The limits are only those of the dreamer's imagination.

Steve Laberge's work was the culmination of a flurry of interest in lucid dreams that began in the late sixties and early seventies with works like ALTERED STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS and THE LUCID DREAM MANIFESTO. Dr. Laberge was able to expand on these early treatises and engage a larger community outside of academia and this book is the result of that engagement. This is an excellent survey of lucid dreams with advice on how to achieve them. The book is also strong on examining varieties of lucid dream experience and therapeutic benefits of lucid dreaming. The book is weak on placing lucid dreams within a more general theory of dream content and cognition. Laberge's explanation for why we don't always know we are dreaming in a dream-because they follow the same neural pathways as waking perception and seem so real-is not persuasive. The world is still waiting for a comprehensive analysis of lucid dream experience and phenomenology on the level of Martin Heidegger's BEING AND TIME. Still, this is a most valuable book.
