The best book you can get on dreaming!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I would give this book 10 stars if I could. This is not another new age make a buck/feel good rag. This is a comprehensive examination of the phenomenon of dreaming. But it not only examines dreaming, it examines the very nature of reality. I have had many extremely profound and quite long lucid dreams and I can tell you from personal experience that Malcom knows exactly what he is talking about in this book. His description of the experience and how having a lucid dream forces you to question what we take for reality is right on the mark. This book gives many paths and techniques. Why it went out of print is a mystery. If you see a copy, even for 50 or 60 dollars, buy it, you'll never regret it.
Outstanding

Not your average Lucid Dreamer type book. Malcom doesn't patronise the reader with the standard 'a black cat means.. , at times I read books and feel where is the beef, not so this one. Apart from the absolutely wonderful layout and pictures he also takes the reader on a journey through the 'history' of the traditions of lucidity in the dreamplane, from the aboriginal dreamtime to tibetan yoga , Shamens, sorcerors, intiation techniques and secret societys, many references too numerous to list here and a myriad of parctical techniques , many I have never heard of before . Then he brings things bang up to date and with the interface of the newer sciences ,REM research morphic fields, David Bohm,paradigm shifts, the nature of perception , consciousness , holograms ..and a gallery of splendid plates of the artworks of Zaborov,Rousseau,Schwarzer,Magritte,Blake and a host of other artists. A real first class book , given the drivel that is out there in the market I don't know how this ever went out of print.If you come across a second hand copy grab it, don't argue about the price.
Not a book of fluff, pure readable substance.

This is not a basic introductory book of "how-to". It does give you many techniques of how to induce lucid dreaming while also covering the science, spiritual and philosophy of this subject. The author also explains that this is not three-easy steps but requires a little work.The book is easy to read and incredably well rounded. A pure joy to read while being enlightening.
This could alter your life, for better, for ever.

I have read quite a number of books on metaphysics, mysticism, religion etc. With the knowledge gained from those in the back of my mind, when I read this, I could 'feel' a jigsaw puzzle get solved on its own in a flash. However, I could not call it an 'enlightenment' since still things remain only in knowledge-level and not in experiential level. Well, the right direction is shown. The rest is up to us. Believe me, trust me, you don't know how lucky you are to have come across this oppurtunity.
This could well be fate.

I don't know who you are and how you stumbled across this review but heed my words. This is undoubtedly the most remarkable book ever written. Not some woolly ethereal 'possibility' book, it actually helps you to change your life drastically- why live in the daily world of drudgery when you can can have an alternative life within the world of your dreams where anything is possible. It is not easy and takes practice, but you will realise why you found this review today and the implications will reverberate for the rest of your life.
