John, Most lucid dreamers discover that expectation and intent help create the situation that they then experience. So, I assume one could expect and intend an OBE state by suggesting that as one falls backward. In my experience, I have practiced with this: becoming lucidly aware, and then shouting out to the awareness behind the dream, "Hey, take me to the next level" or "Let me feel the next form". At least on one occasion after doing this, I then had the experiential phenomena associated with OBE. Thanks for your question. Submitted By: Robert Waggoner

Hi Robert, In your book, you talk a little bit about out-of-body experiences (OBEs) you've had. Do you know of any way to convert a lucid dream into an OBE? A friend of mine said that if you let your dream body fall backward during a lucid dream, it will sometimes cause you to have an OBE. Any idea if this will work? Submitted By: John

Peggy, Thanks for coming to my lucid dreaming seminar at the Studio for the Healing Arts in Norfolk, VA. Best wishes on incubating a lucid dream. It helps if you have an idea of what you might like to do, when lucid - since this creates emotional energy which makes lucid dreaming more likely and more fun. I appreciate your note, Robert Submitted By: Robert Waggoner

Robert, I met you in Norfolk this past weekend. I had to slip out a few minutes early, and didn't get the opportunity to thank you for all of the helpful information you provided. I am not, yet, dreaming lucidly, but I'm studying my hands every night. I know it will come, and when it does, I'll let you know. Peggy Submitted By: Peggy Saunders

Nekoda, This past weekend, I was giving a lucid dreaming seminar in Norfolk, VA., so just received your question. Most all of us have dreams that (in retrospect) seemed filled with 'unreal things.' On my Lucid Dream Exchange website ( www.dreaminglucid.com ), I provide Five Successful Techniques for incubating lucid dreaming. In your case, I might suggest my modified version of the Castaneda technique, which involves simple mental conditioning. You learn to associate the sight of your hands with the thought, 'This is a dream' -- once, this is established in your mind, your hands will suddenly appear in your dreams and you'll realize, "This is a dream!" Then you will experience consciously being in the dream. Best wishes. Submitted By: Robert Waggoner

Hi Robert, I've been researching "Lucid Dreaming" for some years now. I understand, that waking to lucid dreaming is by recognizing something that is out of place in the dream and then acknowledging that you're dreaming. Here's where my problem lies. Most or all of my life my dreams have been filled with nothing but unreal things. So do u think that I've become so used to those type of dreams that I can't do anything about it? How do I push myself out of this situation so that I can lucid dream? I feel like I can't even fathom the idea of dreams feeling and looking as real as reality. I just don't know what to do.

Hi Ryan, Thanks for your note below. Some people find that they need to employ one of the lucid dreaming induction techniques that I mention in the book's appendix and apply it consistently for a week or two. Using the MILD technique or Castaneda's hand technique - consistently - and without too much emotion, often lead to success. But pick one, and use it consistently. Congrats on remembering dreams -- that skill will be very important as you develop your lucid dreaming. Also, you should find that you have dreams in which you almost become lucid or say, 'That reminds me of a lucid dream that I read about.' Persistence, Robert Submitted By: Robert Waggoner

Frank, If it were my lucid dream, I would begin by having some conversations with Condy. Ask her about her presence there. Does she represent something? Why does she seem to be around? Do you know her from the past, etc? By initiating a conversation, you may learn a lot about the nature of this recurring dream figure. Cheers! Robert Submitted By: Robert Waggoner

Robert, I have been trying to experience a lucid dream since I started reading your book about a week ago. A few days ago I finished it and began to employ many of your techniques but I just can't seem to get it. I have been keeping a dream journal for a week to record my dreams and interpretations. Sometimes I have up to 3-4 dreams a night that I can recall but none that are lucid. I have even been reading about experiences of other lucid dreamers before bed. I know it is very emotionally driven and the more excited I am the better chances I have at becoming lucid, but I am already very excited! Have you discovered anything new that could help since writing your book? I would love any additional advice you have! Thanks! Submitted By: Ryan

Hi Robert, I lucid dream at least 4 times a week. It took me awhile to learn, but now it's pretty much second nature. I have this girl named condy who comes to me and when i need her I call her name and she's there. She is usually behind me when I am flying. Anyway she gives me the impression we have known eachother for a long time. Here is my question is it possible that she lives on the earth plane as I am now, and I just havn't met her yet in this life? I hope this makes sense. One more question Can it be possible that our dream characters are actual people that are dreaming as well, but that they are not aware, and can we help them to become lucid? Thanks for your help.
