I think discussion about books, why someone recommends it or doesnt, is great way to describe the book. It's much better, than someone just saying "I like/don't like it. |

You're right, this thread is about books that "you" would recommend, not the discussion between us. Some natural discussion never hurts, but we'll try keep it to a minimum. I think it's sound advice that if any one has any any objections to our posts a new thread can be made in the extended discussion sub-forum |

I agree discussion is a good way to find out more about books rather than just a i like/dont like it. |

I've just bought 'Are You Dreaming?' by Daniel Love. I'll review it when I read it! |
|
A book that has not been talked much about is "The Power of Creative Dreaming: Unlock the Strength of Your Subconscious" by Pamela J. Ball. Has anyone here read this, and might comment on it? |
|
Apparently there is a new book on dreaming, from the tibetan perspective, coming to market in the not-too-distant-future: |

Hey, thanks for sharing! Btw, I initially thought that "om dreaming" was the title of the book. It even made sense to me. |
|
Since the link had to be removed, could you post the title and author, so that we can search for it? |

You may say I'm a dreamer.
But I'm not the only one - John Lennon
Found it! (Not easy, when you don't remember the title, nor the name of the author): |

Yeah I know Voldmer, I've tried posting links to books in the past but for some reason the mods don't like it. Still, I guess resources are things like Wikipedia and free services, else you'd get people spamming the forums trying to sell all sorts. Is a nuisance but I can see why they do it. Personally I'm not very keen on the look of that book, I've seen Charlie Morleys videos and read about his history and it looks a bit like he's trying to become a bit of a "lifestyle guru". Apparently he's only been lucid dreaming for a handful of years and it doesn't sound like he's mastered it yet. Also his links to Tibetan Buddhism are as a layman living in a centre. Before hand he was working as a rapper. He's got the charisma for talks on stage, I just don't think he's got much experience compared to half the people in these forums. So it's not likely to have the grounding of someone who's dedicated their life to either subject like LaBerge or Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche. I think "The Tibetan yogas of dream and sleep" by Rinpoche is going to remain the best book for the Tibetan perspective. Still, I'll buy a copy of this when it comes out and write my own review when it comes out. |

I had a thought It'd be nice if we could do video book reviews and recommendations. I've never actually been brave enough to do that kind of thing myself so I don't even have a youtube account!! :O |
|
To be honest one of the reasons I just bought this book is because it comes from a regular guy who hasn't dedicated his whole life to lucid dreaming, so his perspective is fresh (if an ex-rapper with no life-long experience about it can do it, heck now I'm determined to do it as well). I watched his very recent interview on Youtube and I didn't find him guru-like at all, he's a very down to earth person and funny too. And I see how he loves what he's doing. |

Just started reading book by Mark Thurston and Christopher Fazel: The Edgar Cayce Handbook for Creating your Future. I picked it up over a year ago in used books store, because it was like $1. |

Mark Thurston and Christopher Fazel: The Edgar Cayce Handbook for Creating your Future continued. |

I recently read "Are You Dreaming?: Exploring Lucid Dreams: A Comprehensive Guide" by Daniel Love. |

I agree that one helped me out a lot! |

Okay, this is for some inspiration it's a fictional book and can't help but much but it's a fun read "The Wake Trilogy" by Lisa Mcmann remember its only loosely based on LD but its good to have some fictional fun sometimes. |

You're not going to master the rest of your life in one day. Just relax. Master the day. Then just keep doing that every day.

Hello! |
|
I think Raduga made up this artificial name "The Phase", as not to offend those that don't believe in OBEs. He calls lucid dreams, astral projection and OBEs all by the same name. I have not read his whole article, but from what I have gathered, it's some legit info. |
|
I remember trying to read it, but not following it. It seemed very unrealistic to me, he mentions that he can get like 80% of people to lucid dream within a day or so. |
|
True he did have some unrealistic success rate claims. |
|
Although he seems rather fundamentalist about classifying lucid dreams and Out-of-body-experiences as one and the same, his book seemed earnest and useful to me (and it floats freely around the internet). Not at all bad as a ressource. But I personally suspect that his understanding of "the phase" is closer to most peoples understanding of OBEs, rather than LDs. |
|
So ... is this the real universe, or is it just a preliminary study?
