| "[A] solid how-to book...For amateur dream researchers, this is a must."
- Whole Earth Review
"Stephen LaBerge has proven scientifically that people can be fully conscious in their dreams while remaining asleep and dreaming at the same time. LaBerge's book provides advice and techniques showing how to become a lucid dreamer and how to make practical use of the state for stimulating personal growth...and facilitating creative problem solving. A provocative and eminently readable book, rich with ideas and insights."
- Dr. Robert E. Ornstein, Author of The Psychology of Consciousness
From the Publisher:
Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming goes far beyond the confines of pop dream psychology, establishing a scientifically researched framework for using lucid dreaming—that is, consciously influencing the outcome of your dreams. Based on Dr. Stephen LaBerge's extensive laboratory work at Stanford University mapping mind/body relationships during the dream state, as well as the teachings of Tibetan dream yogis and the work of other scientists, including German psycholgist Paul Tholey, this practical workbook will show you how to use your dreams to:
- Solve problems
- Gain greater confidence
- Improve creativity
- Face and overcome fears and inhibitions
- Create a new sense of empowerment and liberation in your life
The techniques you'll learn in this exciting workbook will make your nightly dream journeys more enjoyable, increase your understanding of yourself, and make you realize that the possibilities of expanded consciousness are far greater than you might think.

Author Biography: Stephen LaBerge, Ph.D. laid the groundwork for his pioneering breakthroughs in lucid dreaming research two decades ago while obtaining his Ph.D. in psychophysiology at Stanford University. Since then he has been continuing work at Stanford studying lucid dreaming and psychophysiological correlates of states of consciousness. In 1988, acting on his conviction that lucid dreaming offers many benefits to humanity, Dr. LaBerge founded the Lucidity Institute, the mission of which is to advance research on the nature and potentials of consciousness and to apply the results of this research to the enhancement of human health and well-being.
