Hi Max, Happy to hear that reading my book helped you have your first lucid dream (which unfortunately got cut off by my message service - but for everyone else, Max meets an interesting dream figure who shows him some amazing things with a ball of green light). To your question about having another lucid dream, I suggest taking one of lucid dreaming methods from the appendix in my book, and simply trying it every night. Don't pressure yourself overmuch - just read about lucid dreaming before going to sleep, do one of the techniques faithfully and expect to have a lucid dream. Sometimes when we get too excited about lucid dreaming, we over-do it. So relax. Have fun with it. Lucid wishes! Submitted By: Robert Waggoner

Hi gab, Thanks for your question. Anyone who has a medical condition should consult a qualified physician for help with proper diagnosis and aid. When you read my chapter on healing and lucid dreams, you will see that almost everyone was under a doctor's care. From your note, it appears that you do not know 'what' you have (a harmless freckle or something else). So I urge you to see a dermatologist. Now then, for a lucid dreamer who wishes to try and effect their physical body while lucid, they do not need to 'go' anywhere in the lucid dream. Instead, they need to stabilize the lucid dream. Once stable, they just need to announce their intent (in your case, it is in the form of a chant), and then see what happens. However, if your intent is to 'heal' something that is already healthy, then do not be surprised if nothing happens.... Best wishes. Submitted By: Robert Waggoner

Hi Sarah, Glad you enjoyed my book! Best wishes as you go deeper into lucid dreaming. I hope at some point that you ask a question of the 'awareness behind the dream' and see what happens. To your question, the main researcher on personality and lucid dreaming is Jayne Gackenbach, Ph.D. I interviewed her for the Lucid Dream Exchange and she comments on that question. Basically, she found lucid dreamers tend to relate to space differently (they do better in field independence studies, as I recall) and may have better balance than non-lucid dreamers. Of course they recall their dreams, too! In any case, please google my interview with Dr. Gackenbach. Good luck with your article. Submitted By: Robert Waggoner

Hi Robert, I purchased and read your book on lucid dreaming a year or so ago. I found it very informative in confronting my struggles with dream interactions and different levels of consciousness I was trying to reach. I think lucid dreaming is something more should hear about and I have been tasked with writing an informative article for one my classes in professional writing about lucid dreaming. I was hoping you could give me a short comment on whether personality relates to being able to lucid dream or if its something virtually anyone is capable of? I wish you the best and hope your work brings you more recognition and success to come! Submitted By: Sarah

Hi Robert! I would like to ask for help in self-healing. I have a suspicious freckle on my back. When I got lucid, I wanted to go to ‘my higher self’ because I have read, that it will be better place to try to self-heal. Do I need to go there, or just any place when I become lucid will do? My LDs are really short. When falling asleep, I used the affirmation from your book “My hand shoots an energy beam, to heal my…with power supreme” and visualized the place in need of healing, but didn’t get a chance yet to try it in LD, because saying ‘Now I experience my higher self’ and thinking about my back makes me wake up. Is it better to ask the healing energy of the universe to heal me (or should I say exactly what I want it to do - get rid of the mole and all it’s illness, or more to the point - to shrink it, have it fall off?), or say my mantra about hand shooting energy beam and do it myself? I would love to try all possible healing techniques, but my LDs tend to be rather shor

Wow cool it looks like you actually reply to these. I'm Max from Kansas City and I have been pretty interested in lucid dreaming for the past year or so. I have been recording my dreams in a journal for this past year, but have taken no other steps to lucid dreaming until about 3 weeks ago. I got an amazon gift card for Christmas and bought "Gateway to the inner Self" and a few other books about lucid dreaming. I decided to read yours first, probably after a week of reading it, I had my first lucid dream using the MILD technique I read in the back of the book, the Castaneda hand technique didn't seem to be working so far. So I was having a ND where I was driving in a speed race on an airborne track in a city, I ended up driving off of the edge to fall to my "death" which obviously woke me up, I remembered my goal and fell back into the same dream, strangely I proceeded to drive off of the edge 2 more times, waking up each time. The 4th time back into the dream, I ended up on a bicycle

Hi Tyler, Thanks for sending me your long lucid dream. As you know from reading my book, dream figures vary in many ways -- some seem unintelligent and unresponsive, while others seem as lucid and intelligent (or even moreso) as the lucid dreamer! So it makes for some interesting, and sometimes confusing interactions. For this reason, I suggest that lucid dreamers ignore the dream figures and ask questions of the non-visible awareness behind the dream. Just shout out your question to that awareness and see what happens in response. Since the dream message seems confusing and powerful, you may wish to incubate a dream in which the message or intent of the earlier dream is made clear. Lucid wishes! Submitted By: Robert Waggoner

Hi Pilar, Thanks for your email, and I hope you can attend my month long seminar that begins Feb 4, 2012. Some meditators find that they naturally begin to have lucid dreams as a possible side effect of meditating. Congratulations! Also as you have experienced, it is possible to bring waking awareness directly into sleep, as you fall asleep. By email, I have sent you a longer response to your question about 'levels' in lucid dreaming - since this is something that some have noticed and is a bit complex to explain. Best wishes and continued success! Submitted By: Robert Waggoner

Hi Robert, I'm so grateful to have found your work on lucid dreaming. I've been dreaming for the past few years, and many authors I've read just to not get into the details like I would hope. Below is a lucid dream, and I've been struggling about the implications of the message I was provided with by a "master". I think about this dream every day. If you have any advice, I would so greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Tyler I will post the contents of the dream in regular font, and italics will indicate my commentary on the dream. I am at a party in a dimly lit room in a house. It might as well have been a library room. I do not really know any of the other guests at the party, but we were all drawn to the party by mysterious circumstances. Each person was summoned to the party by either clues and hints, or direct invitation from an unknown host. One girl at the party told me she had received a list of library books she had to read before coming to the party. A few

Hi Robert! I´m Pilar vallet from Spain. I´use to meditated every day, so i use to observe my mind´s contents, and i try to be aware in my awake life. The past year i had a lot of lucid experiences in my dreams, but connecting with the awareness above the dream. I noticed that the awake state and the dream sate were almost the same, that dream and death were related.I use to cross aware the border between the awake and dream world. I Use to observe how the thoughts became diferent images.... and then i was in the dream state and i was aware anyways. I didn´t knew nothing about lucid dreams, so i went to speak with Jordi Borràs, a member of your dreaming association in Spain, and he began to explain me every thing. Then i read Laberge. I did´t know that i can interact with the dreams, so i did it i began to interact with my dreams figures.After i read Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, s book.And now i contact you. I think i´m going to do your internet course. But i realiced that when i am i
