Overview

"Lucidity is consciousness itself. It exists in a realm of experience beyond words; achieving it is not an intellectual exercise. To become lucid is a transformation of emotions, memories, and thought patterns to reach an altered state. It's not your image of the walls that you want to dissolve, it's your image of reality. This is the first book to approach lucid dreaming through hypnosis. Each chapter has an introduction that you read, and a trance induction you can listen to through online MP3 audio files. These hypnotic inductions offer you experiential tours of altered states. Listen to them while falling asleep and they will become your lucid dream environment. Other books view lucid dreaming as awakening in a dream. This book views all states as dream states from which lucidity is possible. And what one becomes lucid of, when one becomes lucid, is another dream state as all states are our own constructions. Lucidity is an awakening to a level of consciousness that's higher, broader, deeper, and more connected. Lucidity is not a goal, it's a process; it's not something you get, it's something you become. Doing silly stuff in your dreams is as enlightening as doing silly stuff while awake. It's fun for a while, but you grow out of it. On the other hand, breaking open your mind to move into what's now not even comprehensible is something you don't grow out of. This is not sleep work or dream work, it's life work. Exploring the impossible is just the start. Let's explore the inconceivable. Drawn from the author's experience as a theoretical physicist, neurophysiologist, and hypnotherapist who focuses on sleep and trance states, Becoming Lucid would like to take your hand and lead you into states of mind you can't even imagine. ""Lincoln Stoller takes the de facto approach to lucid dreaming and turns it on its head. Rather than yet another guide book, this work represents a paradigm shift to an entirely new mode of thinking."" -- Chris Hammond, Chief Lucidity Officer at www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com"

In this fascinating look inwards, Lincoln Stoller takes the de facto approach to lucid dreaming and turns it on its head. Rather than yet another guide book, this work represents a paradigm shift to an entirely new mode of thinking. A meaningful and deeply introspective addition to any dreamers bookshelf. --Chris Hammond, Chief Lucidity Officer at www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com Delightful! Becoming Lucid fills a huge gap in the lucid literature by developing lucid dreams alongside classic methods of consciousness exploration. Dr. Stoller's altogether rational perspective still leaves room for the mystery and majesty of the unconscious. Hypnosis audio files in each chapter are a most delightful addition. A must for all serious explorers of consciousness. --Ryan Hurd, author of Sleep Paralysis, and Lucid Immersion Guidebook. Editor of Lucid Dreaming: New Perspectives on Consciousness in Sleep. Not just about dreams, and not just a book. Becoming Lucid links awareness of dreaming and awareness of waking in a practical exploration of your consciousness--and something deeper. It's about being awake to your life, with step-by-step instructions. I recommend this for everyone interested in lucid dreaming and raising their consciousness. --Howard Rheingold, author of Excursions to the Far Side of the Mind, and Tools for Thought: The History and Future of Mind-Expanding Technology. Co-author of Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming.

Author Information

Lincoln Stoller grew up around and was mentored by artists, engineers, scientists, athletes, and educators recognized as some of the greatest of the century--including three Nobel Laureates in physics and a handful of world-famous mountaineers--as well as by numerous visionaries, mystics, shamans, and madmen. He has published in the academic and the popular press as an astronomer, physicist, software architect, neurologist, anthropologist, psychotherapist, explorer, and educator. He is an assessing editor at the Journal of Mind and Behavior, has written three books, and has participated in the founding of three schools for young people. As a teenager, he traveled the world climbing mountains and, in the process, fell 1,000 feet off the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, swam across the arctic sea, crashed his airplane, collapsed his horse, stepped in quicksand, survived frostbite, starved, poisoned himself, survived a major earthquake, was buried in an avalanche, and became a cultural ambassador to families in Central America, Mongolia, and the Caribbean. During this time he attended seven colleges, got a doctorate in Quantum Mechanics, became certified as a hypnotherapist, glider pilot, and rescue diver, founded a software company specializing in business automation, designed and built two houses, and was awarded a patent in computer software. After moving from New York to British Columbia, Lincoln now works with clients in the areas of brain training, sleep, spiritual emergence, medical hypnosis, and entrepreneurship. Committed to supporting mental health, personal growth, and social evolution, he blogs and podcasts regularly. He can be reached through his web site at mindstrengthbalance.com.
