      Are books about lucid dreaming recomended?

      I was thinking about buying LaBerge's book EWOLD about lucid dreaming and 'are you dreaming' by Daniel Love. Are they worth buying?

      Can't go wrong with either one. I like to say start with LaBerge (you may never need another book in fact). His "A Course In Lucid Dreaming" which is a well-organized step-by-step workbook companion to the material in ETWOLD is also great (so you don't have to keep flipping around pages in ETWOLD trying to mark all the key exercises)

      Yes, they're worth buying (and reading), especially EWOLD.

      That's a definite yes. Do give EWOLD a try, but I also recommend, "A Field Guide to Lucid Dreaming". Two very practical books that both provide alot of information about lucid dreaming and simply "mastering the art of oneironautics".

      "If we doubted our fears instead of doubting our dreams, imagine how much in life we'd accomplish." ~Joel Brown
      "Your background and circumstances may have influenced who you are, but you are responsible for who you become." ~Darren Hardy


      Goals:
      -Become Lucid in every dream every night
      -Perfect the time dilation watch
      -Continue to have a dream plan for most of my lucid dreams

      Perfect choices! I'd say they're both easily the best books available.
      ETWOLD is the classic book on LDs and all lucid dreamers should have read it, Are You Dreaming? is IMHO a modern classic and light years ahead of the other books out there. Both are my favourites and I think every LDer should read them. Good choices!

      I'd disagree with OneUP on the Field Guide to Lucid Dreaming though. I really didn't think it had any substance and was TBH a bit $h1tty!

      Lmao really? I actually learned some new stuff that I feel EWOLD didn't cover good enough. It also provides a ton of info on LDing put in simple format which is pretty good for beginners. Then again, if you're not a beginner/intermediate you won't learn too much from it. It also covers intention WAY better than EWOLD plus everything that was already in EWOLD plus some more. I enjoyed it

      Yes...
      I have all three...I like "Field Guide" a lot. Covers all the basics very well. But obviously different books speak to different folks. But everyone seems to agree EWOLD is THE one book to have!

      i just read FGLD, so let me put it this way: i'm glad my library had it, cause that book was a lot of prose to hide no substance
      How do you know that this world isn't as real, or as important, as the one you live in?

      I remember there was free pdf of LaBerge's book online, but I don't know if it was EWOLD. Try and search your two books that you will buy are free online before buying it(we don't know).
