Richard, I have been practising various techniques from Stepehn LaBerge's book "Exploring the world of lucid dreaming". He talks about reality state teasting and suggests that we consitently use one technique (eg reading some writing twice, jumping/flying etc). However I have found that sticking to one technique in waking life (in order to inculcate the habit which should then carry over to dreaming) is impractical. I am a teacher if something odd happens and I want to do a state test I can hardly start jumping up and down in front of my students! Any suggestions? Submitted By: Alasdair

Hey Robert, I'm writing to see if you have heard of Thomas Yuschak & his book Advanced Lucid Dreaming... ? I cannot find any information on his studies at all, do you think using supplements to help induce lucid dreaming is worthwhile and safe? Its an avenue that i'm looking into and want a professional opinion, thanks! Submitted By: Frank Shields

Sylvo, Thanks for your comment about my blogging. Yes, lucid dreamers see something that few others do -- a subconscious that operates according to principles, and the infinity that underlies it. Or said otherwise, the Emptiness that supports the Form. Best wishes on your lucid journeys! Submitted By: Robert Waggoner

Hi Robert: Read your most recent blog posting. Love that phrase: "the principled infinity of the subconsious mind." How evocative! How descriptive! As for the "Expectation Effect", it is alive and well, certainly in my own lucid dreams. Cheers, Sylvo Submitted By: Sylvo

Howard, Thanks for ordering my book. I have heard that a new version of the NovaDreamer will be coming out, so you might want to wait. Otherwise, google reviews about the earlier models, and see what others have said. Best wishes! Submitted By: Robert Waggoner

Hi Robert, I just listened to your interview on dreamland. very interesting.I also ordered your new book. If I were to buy one of those dream masks do you recommend them and is one better than the other? Thanks, HOward Submitted By: Howard

David, At my highest level of lucid dreaming, I hit thirty lucid dreams a month, using MILD almost every night. Based on that, I'd suggest the following: 1) commit to one technique like MILD and follow it faithfully, 2) create a monthly chart of your lucid dreams and hang it in your bedroom as a reminder and goal, 3) read about lucid dreaming before going to sleep (print off The Lucid Dream Exchange for example or use my book), 4) get curious about lucid dream possibilities -- expand your wonder. That'd be my recommendation in a nutshell. Also check out my blog on developing a lucid mindset. Best wishes! Submitted By: Robert Waggoner

Hi Robert, I have about six years of lucid dreaming experience, but I can't seem to have any more than once a week or so. I try nightly, but my results seem very sporadic. Any suggestions for increacing my frequency? Submitted By: David

Joan, Numerous young people report these type of experiences (associated with OBEs) in their teens and twenties. Like you, many become frightened, since it can be quite intense and seems strange. Some learn to accept it, and go along, and discover themselves in an apparent OBE state (which some people consider a lucid dream, but in my book, I discuss the differences). You end your post wondering if these experiences are the result of psychological issues (teenage angst, etc). Personally, they seem too widespread to be related to psychological issues; in fact, these occasional buzzings seems to be quite normal. I included a chapter on lucid dreams and OBEs for this very reason -- they are common and normal experiences. Submitted By: Robert Waggoner

hi Robert, I've just read in your book your experience with the 'buzzing' for OBEs. Unbelievable because you are the first other person I have heard this happened to. I experienced the 'buzzing' many many times in my youth when lying in bed (between sleep and wakefulness). It used to frighten me, I didn't know what was happening. Besides the 'buzzing' I always experienced major sensation in my head - it felt very large and fluid and pulsating. I felt like I was almost all head and no body. It felt like suctioning as well. The entire experience was all about sensation. It was always dark. I felt like a pulsating 'being', in limbo. I only experienced this once again in my 6th month of pregnacy of my second child. I was in bed upset about something. The 'buzzing' started and I recognized it. Being older, I decided to let the feelings creep over me like they had so many times before. The buzzing would be the inro, the other sensations would join in. I then thought it was pe
