The Hypnotists Bible and anonymous connections

Open to any response. New to this site, but not to lucid dreaming. Had a dream last night in which I became aware, and confirmed it, like always, by taking flight. Somehow, I ended up in a bookstore in the night time city setting, in which this dream took place. Drawn to a book called "The Hypnotist's Bible", which turns out, is a real book. Just then a man, taking the form of a celebrity, came in and said that he was instructed to tell me to read this book which would 'unlock my powers' or something of the sort. I felt a bit cautious, because I doubted that he was really the celebrity, in which form he took. So, who was he, and who was his anonymous instructor? Also, there were some pictures in the book which made me wary. "Be careful, as there is some information of the dark arts, in this book" was either my own thought, or his words.. not sure which. Not sure if I should heed this advice, or write it off. Never had too much of an interest in hypnotism.. Anyone ever had an experience like this? Ever heard of this book.. the author's name is Delavar.. original book circa. 1935 I'm not sure if it's even available in it's original form. Research into the book revealed that some of my dreams cues were correct.. The book seemed rather old, and of substantial size. Which appears to be so, also a picture of the author struck an odd cord in me. Reformatted copies of the book sell for a pretty penny.

Maybe if you read it, you'll get more dream control/LDs, since it was your "subconscious" which told you about it.

Or maybe not, but hey it's worth a shot. It's interesting at least. I wonder what your next dream would be about.

i say you buy the 75$ CD version and upload it for us :P

it sounds really interesting, a book that big has to have a load of knowledge... if your subconscious told you about it in your dream then theres gotta be a reason for you buying it

Find it at a library. If your library doesn't have it, perhaps another library in their network does, in which case they can send it to your library if requested.

Hypnotism? Dark? No. Nothing dark about hypnotism. It is used in therapy, and is a curiously effective substitute for anesthesia during surgery (if you are a good subject). Your mind probably told you it was "dark arts" because of either personal connotations with the work hypnotism (your subcon. thinks it is a form of mind control, possibly?) or what others have told you about hypnotism (my parents are strongly against it for superstitious reasons).

Still, interesting. I wonder what the chances are that you dream of an existing book title? I say, try your library. If it's not there, I wouldn't waste your money on it, as it is outdated and beliefs (and uses) of hypnotism have changed since it was published. He was probably a stage hypnotist, anyway.

Interesting... The cd version is available for €7.50 about $12.

Really? Do you have a link or website for that?

Thanks for the advice. Funny, I didn't even think about a library? I'll give it a try.

if you do get the cd, please upload it, this book sounds extremely interesting :D
