Some of the greatest of life’s adventures can happen while you’re sound asleep. That’s the promise of lucid dreaming, which is the ability to alter your own dream reality any way you like simply by being aware of the fact that you’re dreaming while you’re in the midst of a dream. There is a range of techniques anyone can learn to become a lucid dreamer - and this audiobook provides all the instruction you need to get started. But B. Alan Wallace also shows how to take the experience of lucid dreaming beyond entertainment to use it to heighten creativity, to solve problems, and to increase self-knowledge. He then goes a step further: moving on to the methods of Tibetan Buddhist dream yoga for using your lucid dreams to attain the profoundest kind of insight.

I’ve read three books on the subject of lucid dreaming: Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming, A Field Guide to Lucid Dreaming, and Wake Up to Sleep. So when I read this book I didn’t expect to gain a substantial amount of knowledge but I was surprised. The author peaked my interest in dream yoga practices and I plan on incorporating them into my lucid dreaming practice. The book is logical but spends a lot of type discussing eastern philosophy so some of it may sound a bit pseudoscientific but I really didn’t mind at all. It doesn’t feel like the author is forcing any view point, simply widening the horizons. I would recommend for anyone who already understands lucid dreaming and would like to learn more.

Great book! Well-written. Philosophical and also practical. This book is about more than just lucid dreaming. This book has some of the best explanations I’ve ever read about the concepts of the self from the Tibetan Buddhist perspective. I have had extraordinary experiences in lucid dreaming for 30 years. This book not only matches my life experiences but also has helped me understand and validate the phenomenon I’ve experienced.

More than I expected

I picked up some good advice on lucid dreaming from this audiobook, but what I appreciated just as much was Wallace's presentation of Buddhist teaching.

This book had some great ideas that I was able to apply on my first nights sleep after listening to a few chapters. the end of the book brings into light some philosophical considerations and helped me think through some ideas I have about the metaphysical nature of some dreams. I also recommend the app Awoken which asks you throughout the day "Are you dreaming." It's a great reminder. I usually try to use the technique of asking myself this when I see my hands but after reading this book have been trying to also ask when I walk through a door.

This book is a description of the process to meditation and how to apply it to dreaming. I found the instructions clear the author gets to the point very quickly. Even if you are not going to go through the whole program, I found much of the advice interesting and applicable better sleep in general.

This book will potentially help anyone who has trouble falling off to sleep or trouble with stress and sleep. I would definitely give it a try.

Very useful even if it just to get a better sleep

In chapters five, six and ten B Alan Wallace writes some of the most profound, succinct, and skilful articulations of the nature of mind and reality that I have ever read. This was an unimaginably good read, and I can't wait to start it all over again... like, now.

Mind Blown

I believe the last chapter of this book should be listened to first as it eloquently and poignantly provides a fundamental basis for the subject matter of the book. Thank you B. Alan Wallace for this brilliant Buddhist teaching as it relates to lucid dreaming, dream yoga, and waking life.

Fundamental

Dream yoga is about as close as you can get to gaining your own imperical data on the nature of reality. The Buddha invited us to put his discoveries to our own tests. This is just one of the ways...but way that can be full of adventure. Alan Wallace presents this material in terms that are both intriguing and rational. If you believe science has sounded the death knell on spirituality than I urge you to listen to the very end.

Imperial data on the nature of reality?

I wish Audible made it clear that the book is abridged and skips several sections of the full book. Otherwise, the book itself is very helpful and is a great introduction to the world of lucid dreaming and dream yoga. I like how it blends the wisdom tradition of Buddhism and the empirical science of lucid dreaming.

The book is exceptionally well-structured, guiding readers from the basics of dreaming to the profound practices of dream yoga with clarity and ease. Wallace's expertise in both the scientific and spiritual aspects of dreaming shines throughout, making complex concepts accessible and engaging. His writing is both informative and deeply inspiring, encouraging readers to explore the untapped potential of their own minds
