Hello Zoe!

I am new to this site also, and I'm looking forward to learning from the experts here as well.

If you want a good book on learning techniques to help you lucid dream, I would recommend 'Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming', by Stephen LaBerge, Ph.D. & Howard Rheingold. It is packed with practical tips and research on methods to help you become lucid.

You also mentioned an interest in astral projection. A book that many people have recommended to me on this topic is 'Astral Dynamics', by Robert Bruce. This comprehensive and somewhat lengthy book explains the theory and practice of astral projection. It is also packed with exercises for you to learn how to achieve these states.

The good news for you is that you are already predisposed toward these states of consciousness. Please continue to learn more about lucid dreaming (as we all are) and I look forward to hearing about your successes in future!
