Becoming Lucid Lincoln Stoller

Lucidity is consciousness itself. It exists in a realm of experience beyond words; achieving it is not an intellectual exercise. To become lucid is a transformation of emotions, memories, and thought patterns to reach an altered state. It's not your image of the walls that you want to dissolve, it's your image of reality.

This is the first book to approach lucid dreaming through hypnosis. Each chapter has an introduction that you read, and a trance induction you can listen to through online MP3 audio files. These hypnotic inductions offer you experiential tours of altered states. Listen to them while falling asleep and they will become your lucid dream environment.

Other books view lucid dreaming as awakening in a dream. This book views all states as dream states from which lucidity is possible. And what one becomes lucid of, when one becomes lucid, is another dream state as all states are our own constructions. Lucidity is an awakening to a level of consciousness that's higher, broader, deeper, and more connected. Lucidity is not a goal, it's a process; it's not something you get, it's something you become.

Doing silly stuff in your dreams is as enlightening as doing silly stuff while awake. It's fun for a while, but you grow out of it. On the other hand, breaking open your mind to move into what's now not even comprehensible is something you don't grow out of. This is not sleep work or dream work, it's life work.

Exploring the impossible is just the start. Let's explore the inconceivable.

Drawn from the author's experience as a theoretical physicist, neurophysiologist, and hypnotherapist who focuses on sleep and trance states, Becoming Lucid would like to take your hand and lead you into states of mind you can't even imagine.

"Lincoln Stoller takes the de facto approach to lucid dreaming and turns it on its head. Rather than yet another guide book, this work represents a paradigm shift to an entirely new mode of thinking." -- Chris Hammond, Chief Lucidity Officer at www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com
