In this fascinating new collection, an all-star team of researchers explores lucid dreaming not only as consciousness during sleep but also as a powerful ability cultivated by artists, scientists, and shamans alike to achieve a variety of purposes and outcomes in the dream. The first set of its kind, Lucid Dreaming: New Perspectives on Consciousness in Sleep provides a comprehensive showcase of the theories, research, and direct experience that serve to illuminate how certain people can maintain conscious awareness while dreaming. The text is organized into two sections, covering science, psychology, and education; and religious traditions, creativity, and culture. Contributors to this two-volume work include top dream experts across the globe--scholars sharing knowledge gained from deep personal explorations and cutting-edge scientific investigations. Topics covered include the neuroscience of lucid dreaming, clinical uses of lucid dreaming in treating trauma, the secret history of lucid dreaming in English philosophy, and spiritual practices of lucid dreaming in Islam, Buddhism, and shamanic traditions. The work also addresses lucid dreaming in movies including The Matrix and literature such as the fiction of J.R.R. Tolkien and explains how modern video gaming enhances lucidity. This set serves as an ideal text and reference work for school libraries and academic courses in anthropology, psychology, religious studies, and cognitive science as well as for graduate-level study in holistic education--an increasingly popular specialization.

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, 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.

Lucid dreaming like you've never seen before.The complete alchemical elixir: Transform Lucid Dreaming into Non-dual Dream Yoga Lucid dreaming is an ancient art that has been practiced for over two millennia. However, throughout the eons, the essence of lucid dreaming seems to have been forgotten. Instead of being a path toward self-transcendence, lucid dreaming became the goal-and its biggest treasure was lost. A plague of thoughts and conceptual analysis posing as "genuine knowledge"; an entanglement in old dogmatic traditions and lineages filled with rhetoric that reinforces the ego narrative and sense of separation; or a general lack of an enlightenment-oriented non-dual perspective-these are common symptoms in many lucid dreaming books and teachings. But this work is not a common lucid dreaming book; it is for those on the path to enlightenment-it elevates this ancient art into its rightful place. What you will find in the book: Rare Lucid Dreaming and Dream Yoga wisdom and insights not found anywhere else. Instructions on how to have and induce a lucid dream. Practices on how to purify and reprogram your subconscious mind through Lucid Dreaming. Learning how to interact with dream characters and archetypal figures and how they can help you in your spiritual path. The knowledge of how to transform nightmares into illuminating dreams. Learning how to perform any type of spiritual practice within the dream state. Teachings on how to elevate the practice of lucid dreaming into non-dual Dream Yoga to realize your true nature (enlightenment). Revealing how to awaken and become lucid in the dream of "real life." The Transcendence of the post-death Bardo state. Unforgettable vivid dreams and the increased chance of experiencing spontaneous lucid dreams, as your mind soaks in this book's wisdom and energy. And much more. More than being just a guide to discover lucid dreaming, this book is a guide to discover and transcend the lucid dreamer-a guide to Self-discovery and Self-realization. Every night you are resuscitated from the darkness of sleep by the light of dreams. Will you continue to neglect this other facet of your existence and sleep through them with ignorance, or will you awaken to the infinite potential that the dream state can bring-an awakening into the eternal state of unfathomable bliss? Only you can decide. The opportunity? It is in your hands, right here, right now.
