In Exploring The World Of Lucid Dreaming, LaBerge goes in depth into the idea of "seeking the highest" - deciding that you will seek out god, nirvana, the gods, or whatever.
He said interestingly, that many people report encountering whatever it is that they themselves have a personal belief in being the "higher power". A Christian, Jew or Muslim would perhaps meet an old man with a beard - a Buddhist would find nirvana etc.
I found this to be one of the most facinating ideas in the book. I have not really gotten around to this yet in a LD. I was wondering if anyone here has tried this, and what their experience was with it...
