Thread: Steven Laberge's Books

get both, I got them for cheap off of ebay.

Nice, thanks. I just came across this other one by Robert Waggoner "Lucid dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self. I heard it tops Laberge.
I've never heard of EWOLD, but that is a definite purchase.
Seph; that's great, I can't stop reading it already thanks!

I'm sure there are a lot more pre-published books out there, there's just not enough publishers and not enough consumers for such a "non-mainstream" topic

Mr Waggoners book is reviewed in Lucidipedia.

It seems to veer into the spiritual (OBE's and Shared Dreaming) which would normally end up in the beyond dreaming section on DV.

In Lucid dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self, Robert tempts readers to go beyond their ordinary lucid dream experiences by exploring the world of the subconscious inspite of scientific research that is lacking behind in this matter. For this very reason, we recommend Robert's book to any experienced lucid dreamer who is interested to join in on this pioneering work of lucid dreaming. Although only the appendices of the book provide a (plain) summary of the induction techniques we all know about (MILD, auto-suggestion, etc), the content of the book itself is specifically related to how dream control could be a valuable starting point to explore the spiritual realm of the subconscious. It does not read technical or instructional, rather Robert refers to his own understanding and lucid dreams, including those of others. Though all chapters spring from the vast amount of lucid dream experiences of Robert, the chapters on phenomena like OBEs, precognitive dreams, mutual dreaming, interacting with deceased, etc, are mainly justified on the basis of personal experiences and reasonings. But then again, keeping in mind that the thought that Robert attempts to convey in his book is actually just this; that the lack of scientific findings does not imply that one should be hesitant or not interested to explore the subconscious realm of lucid dreaming. That said, we would have still loved to learn more about how each of Robert's reasonings and experiences could contribute to or elaborate on past, current and future research on lucid dreaming.

We recommend Lucid dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self to experienced lucid dreamers who are interested in using their dream control skills to delve deeper into the spiritual realm of their lucid dreams. In this respect, Robert's book is currently the best resource around. The book reads very easy and is adequately supported with a lot of concrete examples of lucid dream experiences that relate to the ideas that Robert puts forth. If you are a student however and are interested in any scientific material on the matter, this book is not for you.

That cleared up alot. Thank you for that quote. I still think I'll get it, but after I finish reading Laberge's
