developing superpowers in the dream realm

psychedelics
- Explores the ability of lucid dreamers to communicate with the waking

In a lucid dream, you "awaken" within your dream and realize you are
dreaming. With this extraordinary sense of awakening comes a clear
perception of the continuity of self between waking and sleeping and the
ability to significantly influence what happens within the dream, giving
you the opportunity to genuinely experience anything without physical or
social consequences. In this way, lucid dreaming offers therapeutic
opportunities for fantasy fulfillment, fear confrontation, and releasing
the trauma of past experiences. With development and practice, lucid
dreaming can provide a powerful path to greater awareness, heightened
creativity, spiritual awakening, and communication with the vast
interconnected web of cosmic consciousness.
In this detailed guide to mastering the practice of lucid dreaming,
David Jay Brown draws from his more than 20 years' experience using
these techniques and his interactions with dozens of experts on
consciousness, physics, dreaming, and entheogens, such as Stanley
Krippner, Rupert Sheldrake, Stephen LaBerge, Robert Waggoner, Dean
Radin, Terence McKenna, and many others. He explores the intimate
relationship between lucid dreaming, shamanic journeying, visionary
plants, and psychedelic drugs and how they are used for healing and
spiritual development. Offering methods for improving both lucid
dreaming and shamanic journeying abilities, he explains how to enhance
dreaming with oneirogens, supplements, herbs, and psychedelics and
offers techniques for developing superpowers in the dream realm.
Summarizing the scientific research on lucid dreaming, Brown explores
the ability of lucid dreamers to communicate with people in the waking
realm and the potential for dream telepathy, shared lucid dreaming, and
access to the vast unconscious regions of our minds, opening up a path
that takes us beyond dreaming and waking to dreaming wide awake.
