A Field Guide to Lucid Dreaming: Mastering the Art of Oneironautics

I learned a lot from this book and have been able to use a technique or two from it. Really well done.

Great Read. The idea of having "dream amnesia" is wild to me. This is a book of self empowerment and discovery. A must read for anyone interested in MORE. Also Love the picture inserts!

This book is good. It explanation of Astral traveling is interesting.

I read my first book about lucid dreaming in 1991 - Stephen LaBerge's original "Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming" which was the culmination of his research work at the Stanford Sleep Lab during the 1980's. If you want to go deep on technical details of lucid dreaming, then get that book, it's still one of the best. Or, get the incredible "Integral Dreaming: A Holistic Approach to Dreams" by Fariba Bogzaran and Daniel Deslauriers - that is new and one incredibly well written and researched book.There are several folks bringing lucid dreaming to pop culture these days - Ryan Hurd, Tim Post, Charlie Morley, and Rory Mac Sweeny to name a few. And this book comes across as a continuation of that work.As the first reviewer said it might not give you depth across the different areas it covers, but it does offer an attractive story-like format with lovely illustrations. If you want something lively and engaging that reads like a story - get this book. A "Field Guide to Lucid Dreaming" makes an entertaining and very accessible introduction into the subject of lucid dreaming. But it goes beyond intro, and provides general coverage around the full spectrum of current thoughts, techniques, and work being done with lucid dreams.I can read it with my 8 year old daughter, and she enjoys it - the side stories and illustrations help. I could share it with friends who don't know much or anything about the subject and they would likely stay interested.This book seems like it could be for anyone from the completely uninformed to the well-read depending on what you want to get from it. The authors brought the subject matter into an engaging format that's difficult to put down and easy to read.

Some books about topics such as these are written by experts who seem to want to write for other experts.This book is very well written with each concept easily building upon those previously explained, and it is funny and entertaining to read which keeps you engaged.As for the-life changing part, just following the simple instructions in this book and practicing yields such changes in my dreams and my awareness that I can scarcely believe it. I am remembering and experiencing dreams so vividly now.I've had a couple of very exciting dreams where I was literally watching the dream as if it were an immersive movie literally created in my dream. The craziest thing was during one of them, there were plot twists (it was a murder mystery involving a cheating husband, the wife, and the woman involved with the husband) and the twists SURPRISED me! I literally did not see them coming!Who would not want to see completely original movies in your dreams at night, then step into them and turn them into whatever experience you want?I kid you not, fly a fighter plan (or just fly!), fight sharks, or go on a hike with Abraham Lincoln. If an idiot like me can do this, so can you.

This a great way to get into Lucid Dreaming. Easy to follow directions that worked really well for me. Like most thing you get out what you put in.

Thank you for sending this far. It's a delight to get books in English.

I look forward to going to bed and I love a nap also. My dreams amaze me. I wish I could sketch my dreams.I have not been able to control my dreams for the most part. If something is too frightening, I wake myself up. If I realize it's a dream, and try to change what is going on, that also wakes me up or I go on to a different dream.Though in the last year I have decided to stay in the bad dream to see where it takes me. The dream is that I'm in a roller coaster of sorts, and I'm frightened of going over the highest part. Instead of waking up now, I continue over but end up in a marshy area where the rail stops.I am not afraid of water so I am confused as to why, in so many of my dreams, that the water is murky and full of strange sea creatures. Or that I go over a dune and its high tide and there is no beach.I can fly, but only just above people about 7 feet. I can't fly far. I also can't run. My feet feel like cement. It's ridiculous, so I wake up to start another dream.I dream of a house that is set up strangely but quite deluxe. I also ultimately get stuck in a stairway that is boxed in. If I go for a drive, I drive poorly and I never can decide which route to take. Nothing is familiar. Once I recognize the same scenario, I wake up so if can go back to another dream.Since reading your book, I have changed some minor things in three dreams I had this week. I am hoping to keep working on it, now that I learned lucid dreaming exists.Thanks,Kathy Snow Dweck
