Synopsis

Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self is the account of an extraordinarily talented lucid dreamer who goes beyond the boundaries of both psychology and religion. In the process, he stumbles upon the Inner Self.While lucid (consciously aware) in the dream state and able to act and interact with dream figures, objects, and settings, dream expert Robert Waggoner experienced something transformative and unexpected. He was able to interact consciously with the dream observer—the apparent Inner Self—within the dream. At first this seemed shocking, even impossible, since psychology normally alludes to such theoretical inner aspects as the Subliminal Self, the Center, and the Internal Self-Helper in vague and theoretical ways. Waggoner came to realize, however, that aware interaction with the Inner Self was not only possible, but actual and highly inspiring. He concluded that while aware in the dream state, one has both a psychological tool and a platform from which to understand dreaming and the larger picture of man's psyche as well.Waggoner proposes 5 stages of lucid dreaming and guides readers through them, offering advice for those who have never experienced the lucid dream state and suggestions for how experienced lucid dreamers can advance to a new level. Lucid Dreaming offers exciting insights and vivid illustrations that will intrigue not only avid dreamworkers but anyone who is interested in consciousness, identity, and the definition of reality.

Goodreads review by ☘Misericordia☘ on January 03, 2020

In parts dosconcerting and illuminating. A lot more in-depth work on LD than other comparative works.

Goodreads review by Iona on March 29, 2014

This is by far the best book I’ve read on the subject. The highly intelligent author delves much more deeply into all aspects of lucid dreams and dreaming than any of the other authors whose books I’ve read. I would give the book ten stars if I could. I have learnt that a valuable technique when luci......more

Goodreads review by Richard on March 12, 2015

So, I love the subject matter, and I think the book is well-written. I love his style and the context. However, it was far, far, far too long. And it wasn't even that long. But I felt he made his points quickly and it would have done well as a 140 page book. It went on twice that long, and I found m......more

Goodreads review by Ada on February 05, 2014

There are a lot of reasons I love this book, but the major one is that it delves really deep into the spiritual implications of lucid dreaming. It goes beyond pleasure-seeking (like flying for fun), to pushing the boundaries of the mind, delving into topics like dream telepathy, healing and subconsc......more

Goodreads review by Gregg on May 28, 2014

Because it contains the findings of all of the other books I've encountered, this text is good reference material. Most of all the major areas on the subject are ex......more
