We live in a world of sensory overload and people's dreams have
come to reflect that complexity. No longer do people dream that
they are standing naked in the middle of a conference room, in
front of an audience of their peers. Instead, dreams might involve
standing naked in a conference room with a mobile in their hand and
an incoming call from Donald trump. What's that all about? I HAD
THE STRANGEST DREAM will answer such questions and help readers
break down the meaning of their dreams. 21st century dreamers will
finally have the tools they need to tap in into the power of their
dreams in order to become more productive and tranquil human
beings.
This book contains a truly remarkable breakthrough in reaching the
inner voice. Even more importantly, the system has within it the
ability to have this inner wisdom address an issue on demand. You
can now pose a question and have it answered overnight! The
mysteries of life and the best course for us to take through it are
usually better understood within our sub-conscious mind. Now there
is an opportunity to access this wisdom directly and be sure that
the advice received is nothing but the best and entirely positive.
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.

This practical handbook provides a complete program of study and
practice for every student to awaken consciousness in the Internal
Worlds: those dimensions we all visit each night, but only faintly
remember, if at all. "The aspirant tries to be conscious of his own
dream; hence, he becomes a spectator and actor of a dream with the
advantage of being able to abandon the scene at will in order to
move freely in the Astral World. "Then the aspirant, free of the
limitations of the flesh, outside the physical body, will have
discarded his old familiar environment and penetrated a universe
ruled by different laws. "The discipline of the dream state of
Tantric Buddhists methodically leads us to the awakening of our
consciousness." By the application of the techniques provided
herein, any sincere person can achieve the awakening of the
consciousness, and thereby come to know the truth of the mysteries
that exist beyond the reach of our physical senses.
The average person spends nearly twenty-five years of their life
sleeping. But in all that time you can get a lot more than just a
healthy night's rest. With the art of lucid dreaming-or becoming
fully conscious in the dream state-you can find creative
inspirations, promote emotional healing, gain rich insights into
your waking reality, and much more. Now, with Lucid Dreaming: A
Concise Guide to Awakening in Your Dreams and in Your Life, Stephen
LaBerge invites you on a guided journey to learn to use conscious
dreaming in your life. Distilled from his more than twenty years of
pioneering research at Stanford University and the Lucidity
Institute-including many new and updated techniques and
discoveries-here is the most effective and easy-to-learn tool
available for you to begin your own fascinating nightly exploration
into Lucid Dreaming.....Stephen Laberge, Ph.D. entered this world
in 1947. As an Air Force brat, he saw much of the planet, and
developed a keen interest in science as a means of understanding
the cosmos. In 1967, he obtained his bachelor's degree in
mathematics after two years at the University of Arizona, and began
graduate studies in chemical physics at Stanford University.
Following a hiatus spent in quest of the holy Grail, he returned to
Stanford and laid the groundwork for his pioneering breakthroughs
in lucid-dreaming research, obtaining his Ph.D. in psychophysiology
in 1980. Since then, he has been continuing work at Stanford
studying lucid dreaming and psycho physiological correlates of
states of consciousness. In 1988, acting on his conviction that
lucid dreaming offers many benefits to humanity, Dr. LaBerge
founded the Lucidity Institute, the mission of which is to advance
research on the nature and potentials of consciousness and to apply
the results of this research to the enhancement of human health and
well-being.
Tim Etchells' "Dream Dictionary for the Modern Dreamer is at once a
mischievous glimpse into the contemporary subconscious and a
playful, irreverent portrait of twenty-first-century life. The
dictionary concentrates on those aspects of contemporary life and
dreaming, which other dictionaries have neglected. Rather than
concentrate on those archetypal features of human existence
(chairs, tables, fire, love and falling), "The Dream Dictionary is
the first significant reference work devoted to explaining the
particular, the transitory and the specifically contemporary as in
may appear in the world of our dreams. What is the meaning of a
dream in which one touches, without meaning to, the hand of a
fellow traveler on an underground train? What does it mean to dream
of a telethon, a modem, or the former Soviet Union? Or that someone
you love dearly is trying to barcode-scan your eyes? "The Dream
Dictionary will answer all these questions and more.
