Thread: Transition explanation?

I'm currently only at the second of a total of twelve chapters, so I can't give a good review of this book yet.

Most techniques described here on DreamViews were created by Stephen LaBerge, who wrote about them in this book. So a lot of information from the book can be found here as well. However, Stephen LaBerge describes his techniques in a lot more detail, as well as the theory behind them. He also provides a lot of useful exercises (43 in total), that can help you attain lucidity.

At first I thought I wouldn't learn anything new by reading this book, since I have been reading through quite a lot of articles here on DreamViews. I decided to buy it anyway, to help me set my mind to lucid dreaming as I fall asleep, since I found that thinking a lot about something before going to sleep increases the chance of me dreaming about it (in this case, lucid dreaming; see my previous post).

As I mentioned above, I'm currently only at the second chapter, but I've already read a lot of interesting things. For example, how doing something in a dream has the same effect on your brain than doing it while awake. Or how to identify and catalogue your dream signs to get a better idea on what to look for in your dreams.

The book also describes how you can use lucid dreaming to enhance your waking life, for example by overcoming fears, improving creativity and gaining more confidence.

That's about all I can say about it for now. If you are only interested in how to use various techniques to become lucid, reading the articles on DreamViews should suffice. But if you want a more in-depth view on lucid dreaming, if you are interested in the science behind lucid dreaming, or just feel that reading this book will help you on your journey to lucid dreaming, then you should definitely buy a copy.
