Lucid Dreaming: A concise guide to awakening...

I got this book: Lucid Dreaming: A concise guide to awakening in your dreams and in your life from Laberge. I was sort of hoping to get ETWOLD, but this will have to suffice for now. Could anyone tell me the differences? What am I missing?

I got this book: Lucid Dreaming: A concise guide to awakening in your dreams and in your life from Laberge. I was sort of hoping to get ETWOLD, but this will have to suffice for now. Could anyone tell me the differences? What am I missing? I've got both. The concise guide is just that. Tells you the basics and the minimum you need to know. Its a small book, as you know. Almost a pamphlet. ETWOLD is basically novel sized. It has a lot more information. Well worth getting.

A review from Lucidipedi which gives ETWOLD 5 Stars. http://www.lucidipedia.com/learning/...arningmaterial Book: Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming (LaBerge & Rheingold, 1990) This one, is a must-have. Stephen LaBerge's Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming (1990) deals with the full range of topics you will ever need to know about when starting to become a lucid dreamer. It actually justifies the 5-star rating: it's complete. Moreover it reads instructional, almost procedural even, like a manual. More than LaBerge's Lucid Dreaming in 1985 which reads more like a story that Stephen is telling you about. Now, you could prefer Lucid Dreaming over Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming just for this reason. As we do. For example, LD provides a very well written historical view on lucid dreaming, discussing how various induction techniques came into existance. ETWOLD skips this part however and replaced it with a very useful Frequently Asked Questions chapter. This difference between both books clearly advocates their different target audiences. Practically speaking, you would for example get ETWOLD out of your bookshelve just to revisit the MILD or WILD procedure to look it over again while LD would be the number one choice if you would rather like to spend an hour reading about lucid dreaming. We recommend ETWOLD to any lucid dreamer. Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming provides all induction techniques, ample exercises and many chapters about various applications of lucid dreaming. It is the most complete and core resource on lucid dreaming we know of and should really be a part of your lucid dream literature collection. Buy it now!
