Imagine being able to fly over Stonehenge on the equinox, catch a sunset at the Taj Mahal, float on a river raft through the Grand Canyon, or make love with your dream partner in a Tahitian overwater beach bungalow! The world is your oyster when you lucid dream! However, you have to be aware in the dream that you are dreaming. You spend a third of your life asleep.

How much happier, productive, and creative would you be if you better understood the workings of your mind? Lucid dreaming enables you to do that. And it’s a skill that everyone can learn with intention. Researchers have found ways to communicate with subjects while they are experiencing a lucid dream. Sports research has shown that mental practice in the lucid state can improve strength, conditioning, flexibility, and endurance. It also promotes a positive, confident outlook.

Here’s an important note. When you are lucid dreaming, you are in your body. You may, of course, fly like Superwoman with your hands in the air! However, you’re always in your body. The peanut does not leave the shell. The soul remains in the body. Lucid dreaming is not an out-of-body experience (OBE) or astral travel.

Lucid dreaming is steeped in history. Dream yoga has been practiced by Tibetan Buddhists for hundreds of years. The shamanic traditions of Mexico and so many other Indigenous people worldwide have used ceremony, tantric dancing, and festivals to act out their dreams. Geniuses Einstein and Tesla used both lucid night and daydreaming to make their discoveries. They had learned how to be lucid. Are you ready?

This audiobook outlines the simple processes that I and many others have used. There are exercises, which you must listen to slowly and imagine as you listen. The last chapter is called “The Path” and describes one of my lucid dreams, which I’ve recreated here. For this dream, I simply set the intention that I would like to meet my inner child. I suggest that you get lucid and then do the same.
