Dreams of Awakening

2013Charlie Morley

4.7/5

This is the kind of junk that filled the self help bookstores in the 90s and turned off so many intelligent people from taking lucid dreaming seriously. The book is written by an ex-hip hop coach/part time Buddhist turned self-styled lucid dream lifestyle guru, so don't expect razor sharp insights into psychology. The book seems to be suffering from split personality disorder, jumping from attempts and scientific writing, filled with mistakes and misunderstandings, then back to a warm and fuzzy version of Buddhism, well kind of Buddhism, the sort that people who wear tye-die shirts and buy crystals because it's fashionable enjoy, spiritual tourist types.There are claims made inside that made me literally swear at the book, like when the author says that telepathy has been scientifically proven. Seems the rest of the world missed that Nobel prize winning research. I'm going to stick with the much better "Dream Yourself Awake" by Alan Wallace for my dose of dream yoga, it's a much better book written by an experienced practitioner and has a foreword by Stephen LaBerge.
