Thanks for the feedback so far everyone! I started out the book exploring this idea of turning everything on its head. Can we reexamine everything we hold to be sacred and true, genuinely look at it from new perspectives (meaning a willing if temporary stepping out of our own perspectives), and see what shakes out in the end? This is a risky thing to do, because it's asking you to leave the place you're familiar with and explore. The book is designed as a series of sequential exercises, each one building off the previous. We're only on #2, and there's a long ways to go. I haven't posted the whole book all at once because I want people to actually explore the exercises (even if some of them sound similar to one's you've already explored) and report back on their experiences. What was your experience during the exercise? Did you actually do it the way it was written, or did you do something else? Did you notice any effect on your dream quality the next night? Some of these are beginning exercises because they're fundamental to the later ones.

A lot of people seem to be wanting the whole book summed up in the first few paragraphs, so they can say whether they agree or disagree, but that's simply not how it's designed. We're exploring here. Many advanced dreamers will have already had similar explorations, which is understandable, however, we've got to get everyone caught up. If you want to play, play. If you don't, don't. But if you do play, please share your actual experiences of doing the exercises. That's what (for me) the beta is all about.

(and some of you that aren't playing but still commenting - I'm finding that useful too, so keep it up)
