Matt, Sounds like you have natural lucid dreaming abilities. Regarding your second lucid dream experience, did you have the ability to hear your phone vibrate, while dreaming? You may have incorporated the time of the call into your lucid dream in that fashion. As you finish my book, you will discover new ways to investigate this more thorougly and completely. Best wishes.... Submitted By: Robert Waggoner

Hi Robert, I am in the middle of reading your book and I had some interesting experiences while napping yesterday. After waking up early to work I took a nap in the afternoon, and had a couple of either lucid dreams or OBEs, I can't really tell. The first one involved me "rolling out" of my bed/body, and I was instantly aware that I was in a different form of consciousness. I began to fly about my apartment, showing off to my roommates who seemed unimpressed. I then went outside to fly around there, but lost my ability and grabbed on to some trees before I woke up. It was nice outside, not snowy like reality. The next experience was the same, except a little longer. I went and talked to my one roommate, who wanted to study. I said no, and began to explore my apartment complex. Flying down the halls, which had different carpet than normal, I came across a clock and a telephone, like in a hotel or something. The clock said 12:21, which reminded me of my alarm clock and I woke u

Dinae, Thanks for recommending my book to others. Your question about flying only a foot off the ground reminds me of my early attempts at flying lucidly. Normally, I would only get about six feet off the ground, before I began to focus on "how high" I felt (with a bit of uncertainty) and then, usually crashed to the ground. I realized that I needed to concentrate my focus on where I wished to fly! When I did that, and concentrated on a place to fly to, I did so easily and gracefully. But when concerned about "how high" and focused on the ground, I followed that focus and crashed. For you, begin to focus on high places like a tree top, and then see yourself there -- make that your intent and focus, and soon you will find yourself flying easily through the dreamscape. By using focus and intent, lucid dreamers make things happen. Best wishes. Submitted By: Robert Waggoner

Robert, just finished your book. I really enjoyed it. I thought I was a lucid dreamer, I guess I am just a semi-lucid according to your book. What is the cause in a dream where you are trying to fly but can't seem to get more than 12 or so inches off the ground? I have been interested in dreams for a very long time, as a child and even now, when I have a memory, I cannot always remember if it was real or in a dream...Thanks for your book. It is much needed, I highly recommend it and have. Submitted By: Diane

William, Glad you enjoyed the book. The non-dual experience of what you call "Pure Awareness" came after twenty years of lucid dreaming and seeking to go beyond form or symbolic form. In a sense, I sought to go beyond lucid dreaming. So that non-dual clear light seems to be what exist beyond thought or form. To your question about dying in a dream or lucid dream, some people have lucidly placed themselves in situations of dying within a lucid dream, but they always seem to wake back up in physical reality to tell the story. Best wishes to you as you begin to explore lucid dreaming. Submitted By: Robert Waggoner

Zach, Thanks for your question. If I understand it correctly, I think the issue may involve the depth of your lucid awareness, as you suppose. Or perhaps, your sense of feeling disconnected may exist as a defense mechanism -- that means you find lucid dreaming too incredible and so to defend yourself from that awesomeness, your waking self views the lucid dream with a 'so what' attitude.

Hi Robert, Just finished your book, and being exposed to all the information thoughout the book was an amazing experience, even without actually having lucid dreams. There were a few questions I raised while reading the book that were not answered in the book, and I would love to hear your insight. 1) Do you believe the Pure Awareness you experienced (from page 81) was God? 2) Can you--the part in a dream and not necessarily your physical self--die while in a dream, or would you wake up first? And if so, 3) If dream events are closely paralleled by brain events, could your physical body die if you die in a dream? Thank you for writing such an amazing book. It was truly life affecting.

I have been interested in lucid dreaming for a long time now, and thanks to your book, I am becoming more proficient at it. But there is one problem that I often encounter. During the dream, I feel like I am very aware; aware enough to perform experiments that I've wanted to do, such as predicting lottery numbers. (I actually got very close with my last attempt!) But as aware as i seem while in the dream, when I remember the dream the next day, I feel somewhat disconnected from it. It's as if I was experiencing a lower level of lucidity, where I am aware, but I just follow the plot of the dream instead of consciously making decisions. Is this just a normal part of lucid dreaming? Or have I just not progressed enough yet? Submitted By: Zach

Georgi, Glad to hear that you are "loving this book!" A very interesting experience with your nephew which suggests a possible mutual dream. As for additional hints, my book's appendix contains a load of tips, techniques and hints for more frequent lucid dreaming. If that fails, ask your nephew to lucidly find you in the dream state and help you achieve conscious awareness :-) Best wishes, Robert Submitted By: Robert Waggoner

I am absolutely loving this book! So mind expanding. I have been intending to see my hands as a trigger to lucid dream. I keep seeing them, but don't pop into lucidity. I had also studied my rings on my hands, trying to further the trigger. I do remember having a dream about my rings. My nephew called me the next day, and said I had shown him my rings in his dream, and was very descriptive of a particular one. HE had the lucid dream, with my trigger. Darn it! Could I smack myself lucid in a dream? Kind of a joke, but hey, if it would work I'm all for it. I have had lucid dreams before, a few, but never understood I had control. So it shouldn't be hard for me. Any more hints? As soon as I can "get" one, I know I'll be on my way. LOVE the book, thanks. Submitted By: Georgi
