Overview

Lucid dreams are dreams in which a person becomes aware of dreaming. They are different from ordinary dreams, not just because of the dreamer's awareness, but because lucid dreams are often strikingly realistic and may be emotionally charged to the point of elation. This introduction to lucid dreams should appeal to the specialist and general reader alike. The authors relate it to other experiences such as out-of-the-body experiences and apparitions, and look at how lucid dreams can be induced and controlled. The book explores their use for therapeutic purposes such as counteracting nightmares. Case histories illustrate the study throughout.

Reviews

`The book is highly recommended as an interesting read, a useful source book, and as a sensitive yet scientifically sound approach to these fringe phenomena.' - The Irish Psychologist `...this is an interesting and valuable book. One can only hope researchers will take up these ideas in the lab, to help uncover the `valuable insights into the neurophysiology of normal cognitive functioning' that Green and McCreery, in concluding, promise us.' - The Skeptic
