Dreams need not only entertain, frighten, or lead us like powerless beings to places where we have no control over ourselves. Utilizing their deeper potential for personal growth, higher self-esteem, and easier solutions to creative problems can be aided by lucid dreaming. Stephen LaBerge studies lucid dreaming and summarizes ten years of research at the Sleep Research Center at Stanford University. He proves that conscious and free action in dreams is indeed possible. Many psychologists today highlight the science of lucid dreaming as the most significant advancement in dream research since the time of Sigmund Freud, who regarded dreams as the "royal road to the unconscious mind." The book offers not only inspiration but also advice and techniques on how to become a lucid dreamer and how to practically utilize this state.
