Field Guide to Lucid Dreaming: Mastering the Art of Oneironautics

Lucid dreaming is legit sexy. You spend like a third of your life sleeping, so why not put that time to good use letting your mind and imagination reign free? Maybe you're looking to have more profound poetic or erotic experiences, or to solve your waking problems, to feel connected with lost loved ones, or just to see what it's like to be able to fly or walk through walls. You can do all that in your dreams. Maybe in your sleep you can allow yourself to feel and do and know and understand the stuff that's confusing or hard to face when you're awake. Oneironautics (aka "dream sailing" in ancient greek) is a skill you can learn just like any other. Three experienced lucid dreamers walk you through it in this book, with the help of cool retro illustrations and tried and true tips for getting into the dream state you want, processing what you've learned, and most important of all, making sure you don't lose track of the difference between waking and sleeping.

Now go out there and seize your dreams.
