"Are You Dreaming?" is a wonderful book. One of the best I've read on the subject and way over due in my opinion. It goes up there with the works Dr. Stephen LaBerge, Dr. Celia Green, Dr. Keith Hearne and Robert Waggoner. What I really appreciated about Daniel Love's contribution was that he doesn't get into any metaphysical new agey stuff, that has watered down the scientific credibility of lucid dreaming over the past 20 years or so since Dr. LaBerge and Dr. Hearne published their scientific findings back in the 1970's. This book puts the subject back on course with what is practical and attainable. Being that this book is a guide, it introduces the reader to the science of sleep and to those individuals that pioneered the study and research of lucid dreaming such as Marquis d'Hervey de Saint-Denys to current day researchers Dr. Stephen LaBerge and Dr. Keith Hearne. We get to know the stages of sleep and the bare essential tools necessary for improving dream recall and for having lucid dreams. The author then offers tried and tested techniques that he and others have experimented with for inducing lucid dreams, some familiar and some new. The critical timing of brain chemistry for lucid dreaming was new to me but it makes perfect sense. Our brain chemistry changes over the course of a 24 hour period and knowing when you are more likely to have the right balance to make lucid dreams probable is very helpful. There is no "magic bullet" that will make you have lucid dreams however, but this book points the way. It takes work and vigilance to have lucid dreams but the rewards for your efforts, in my opinion, are priceless. I have been studying and cataloging my dreams since 1990 and to this day still find the experience of being in that hybrid state of consciousness amazing. I know that anyone who has a sincere interest in developing this skill will find that this book yields results.

A very concise, secular way to learn about lucid dreaming for beginners.

An enjoyable, comprehensive guide on all things Lucid Dreaming, for both beginners and experts!

I've read around fifteen books on the subject of dreaming. Most tend towards the extreme ends of the mysticism/scientific spectrum. This book falls in between those extremes, it's the most human book I've read on the topic. The author leaves the questions of spirituality of the subject up to the reader without trivializing them or enforcing them. As such, I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the subject of dreaming and would like to learn more about it without having to wade through heavy subjective viewpoints. For anyone who is looking at the price thinking it to be a bit high, it does look that way but is well worth the price tag and more. The author has done his research, keeps his personal biases to a minimum and offers all the information in a clear and concise format. Of all the books I have read, or even skimmed through, on the subject of lucid dreaming, none have been so compendious and concise at the same time. For someone new to the subject this is a treasure trove of information that I had to spend the past few years learning, and even with the years I have spent researching there was still much to be gained from reading this book. The only place where the author shows personal bias, he explicitly says that it is his own opinion and readers may find that they disagree. For referencing there is an index, but with the information set in such and easy to use format you can easily use this book for reference purposes after you have finished reading it. All in all, this is a must read for anyone interested in the subject. It manages to be scientific in its scope and human in its presentation.

It had a lot of great ideas

Wer tief in das Thema Klartraum eintauchen möchte, sollte sich dieses Buch besorgen. Sehr ausführlich deckt es quasi alles ab, was es zum Thema zu wissen gibt. Erfreulicherweise driftet Daniel Love nicht - wie viele andere Autoren - ins esoterische ab. Das Buch macht Spaß zu lesen und motiviert. Wer das Klarträumen lernen möchte oder aber auch fortgeschrittene luzide Träumer werden es mit Sicherheit immer wieder zur Hand nehmen.

Good primer with lots of interesting and useful info.. a little too much, if anything.. he rambles on a bit. Worth the read, all the same.

O livro Are You Dreaming de Daniel love é o mais completo e atual sobre o assunto, abordando o tema pelo lado científico. Ele é mais completo que os livros de Stephen LaBerge.

El millor llibre en aquest tema, abarca tots els aspectes i inclou tècniques clàssiques així com d'altres de molt més novedoses, algunes de les quals inventades pel mateix autor. Al meu parer, molt més complet i posat al dia que el clàssic de Laberge.
