Thread: Lucid Dreaming Fiction/Films?

For books, The Chronicles of Amber, it's actually not at all about lucid dreaming, but it's very lucid-dream like and my favorite book series of all time. Its world is a reality inside a reality inside a reality that the princes of Amber can manipulate and control much as if it were a dream, and they treat it as if it were a dream.

Is this the series you speak of? The Great Book of Amber: The Complete Amber Chronicles, 1-10 (Chronicles of Amber): Roger Zelazny

Please, do not post links to merchandise. Just a title of a book is enough, people will find it without a link. Thank you.

That's the one!

^^ And, I personally always felt the Amber books (especially the first three) were about lucid dreaming, in that Amber was waking life, and the shadows were all dreams. I suppose Plato aficionados would think differently, but Corwin's adventures sure seemed like LD's to me...
