The unusual and powerful event of a lucid dream was brought
much closer to me today. I went to hear
author Robert Waggoner discuss this topic, lucid dreaming, and it was
absolutely amazing how much practical and inspiring information he provided us
all. Mr. Waggoner is helping us
celebrate “Dreamy March”, a month chocked full of fun and fascinating events on
the topic of dreams. His book “Lucid
Dreaming: A gateway to the inner self” continues to grow in popularity and with
good reason, it is a must read if you are interested in the topic and
especially if you want to experience a lucid dream regularly. In the Friday night presentation, which Rhine
members can access on our webpage, and in his Saturday workshop, he discussed
the history and growth of the study of lucid dreams. He noted significant scientific studies, and
shared many accounts from lucid dreamers that gave us a good feel for the
phenomenon, and really enticed us to have a lucid dream of our own. That’s a good thing because he discussed
techniques to encourage lucid dreaming, and ways to work within the lucid
state. Consciously examining the
dreamscape is very different from passively recalling a dream the next day, so
the dynamics of exploration are very important.
He did a thorough job of
explaining what experienced lucid dreamers have discovered about the
exploration process, and how a lucid dreamer can apply this knowledge to answer
questions that they bring to the dream state.
The knowledge he brought us was entertaining and very useful.
There are more great presentations to come this month, so
check out our events page and make plans to attend. Many of these events are free and all of them
are fascinating. If you are a human
being, you are a dreamer, so all these events pertain to you. Do yourself a favor and check them out.
