Review by Booklist Review
This is New Age junk food--but, then, junk food can sometimes be filling when nothing else is available. The authors take off from LaBerge's Lucid Dreaming (1985), this time adding scientific research to the pop-psychology format. Lucid dreaming can be loosely defined as conscious awareness during the dream state and presumes that, through proper self-training, an individual can influence the content of his or her dreams, and beyond that, the outcome of those dreams. In this follow-up work, the authors use the teachings of Tibetan dream yogis and report on extensive lab work that maps mind-body relationships during dreams. They show the reader how to use lucid dreaming to solve problems, gain confidence, improve creativity, and overcome fears. One cautionary note: self-training often involves over a year of mind exercises, rendering lucid dreaming problematic for the quick-fix set. No index. ~--Allen Weakland
