book recommendation?

[dream kitten]

Can anyone recommend a good, interesting, and easy to learn book on how to lucid dream or improve on it? there's a couple of them out there but I don't know which one to get

[GestaltAlteration]

Lucid dreaming bible-- Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming by Steven Laberge. There's plenty of new ones out, and others that people might suggest, but EWoLD was all that I found I needed.

I need to remember to get that.

I hear you can read most (if not all) the chapters online. If that fails then you can pick it up at most libraries, or pay the really cheap fee on amazon.

I found the entire thing in PDF on Scribd. Never heard of it before, but it looks like a document library. You could probably find documents on absolutely anything on here, but I'll just link you straight to the book. Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming If this is violating some sort of copywrite or antipiracy type thingy, just tell me and I'll remove the link.

Well well, there you go! An entire e-book rich with all your lucid need. Nice find Kushna.

I also like the book Conscious Dreaming by Robert Moss. It's not entirely about lucid dreaming but alot of it are great dream examples and ways to use dreams to improve yourself. It's interesting how the author is against using lds for the kind of stuff thats talked about on here (killing, picking up chicks, killing, messing with dcs then killing them, more chicks, etc.) and against using using RCs, prefering a more natural way (yeah ok buddy I bet that works well lol). He claims that Laberge in EWOLD helps get away from doing useless things is LDs but thats not quite what I got out of EWOLD. It's a great read and basically gives some varying viewpoints on dreaming in general from those in EWOLD.

dream kitten, below is a previous post I'd written regarding the books that I've read that have to do with lucid dreaming. Most I read years ago and could not quote line nor verse.. but I get something out of every book I've read and I personally don't regret purchasing any of them. Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming by Stephen LaBerge The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche Control Your Dreams by Jayne Gackenbach & Jane Bosveld Stop Sleeping Through Your Dreams by Charles McPhee Mutual Dreaming by Linda Lane Magallon Creative Dreaming by Patricia Garfield, Ph.d Pathway to Ecstacy - The Way of the Dream Mandela by Patricia Garfield, Ph.d Out the In Door - New Techniques in Lucid Dreaming by Michael Szul Lucid Dreaming in 30 Days by Keith Harary, Ph.d and Pamela Weintraub The Lucid Dreamer by Malcom Godwin I also recommend that you visit Amazon.com and read the comments or visit your library/bookstore to determine if a book is for you before purchasing. Hope this helps!

As for learning skills once you've become lucid: watch The Matrix. The virtual reality in it is essentially the same prinicple as a lucid dream. Of the books mentioned above I have Patricia Garfield's and Dr LaBerge's. Garfield's seems to have more of a new-agey feel to it and helped out a little, LaBerge's is very scientific and seems more like a textbook.
