DREAMING YOURSELF AWAKE - B ALAN WALLACE







RATING: B

I relate better to non-Western ideas and techniques, myself. I have already had a little experience with the two 'WILD' options listed in chapter two and find what they term 'hypnagogic imagery' very easy to work with - probably due to my experiences using it as a starting point for multi-sensual telepathy - which becomes near-essential if you plan on maintaining a long-term long-distance relationship. Therefore, the second two chunks were of more assistance than the first section personally.

Chapter 7 especially appealed due to my own interests. I feel the sectors in chapter 8 would be easier to attain progress with work in visualizations within the spiritual zone than working on dreams, though. It is the same level of mentality, yet easier to retain control. The last few pages were of great interest to me, particularly the piece that talked of the importance of recognizing future lives, rather than just this current one.

I would recommend the book to those interested in beginning or improving lucid dreaming with a Buddhist emphasis.
