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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“David Jay Brown’s book is a brilliant synthesis of current research, ancient and indigenous wisdom, and extensive personal experience. Based on a wealth of hard data, historical research, and dream diaries, Brown deftly ties together not only lucid dreams but also similar events from other altered states. While the book centers on lucid dreams, it incorporates parallel experiences in psychedelic use and shamanism, giving us, perhaps, the first sophisticated synthesis for exploring difficult to access realms of consciousness. Filled with practical and doable suggestions on how to enhance lucid dreaming and how to maximize its healing effects, \u003ci\u003eDreaming Wide Awake\u003c\/i\u003e is a splendid, well-written, revelatory, yet pragmatic look at the dreaming mind.” * James Fadiman Ph.D., microdose researcher and author of The Psychedelic Explorer’s Guide: Safe *\u003cbr\u003e“Encyclopedic yet personal, rigorous yet highly accessible, Brown’s book is enormously successful. The author covers every conceivable theoretical and practical aspect of lucid dreaming: from neuroscience to shamanism, anthropology to the occult, ethnobotany to telepathy, the electronic to the pharmacologic. In so doing, he brings clarity and relevance to this mysterious and potentially highly influential consciousness-altering tool.” * Rick Strassman, M.D., clinical associate professor of psychiatry at the University of New Mexico Sch *\u003cbr\u003e“Dreaming Wide Awake takes you on a psychedelic romp through the beauty, mystery, and healing potential of the ‘conscious’ unconscious. Well researched and written, it has something for every inner explorer.” * Robert Waggoner, author of Lucid Dreaming Gateway to the Inner Self and coauthor of Lucid Dreaming, *\u003cbr\u003e“For millennia, many tribal shamans have used lucid dreaming and psychedelic plants to obtain information that they have used in helping and healing members of their community. In this groundbreaking book, David Jay Brown has brought together findings from contemporary science to demonstrate the similarity between these two types of altered consciousness and how the insights they provide can help alleviate nightmares, restore health, hasten recovery from injuries, and even yield creative insights. Dreaming Wide Awake may evoke a new field of research, both experimental and applied, that will enhance human potentials in ways that have been too long neglected.” * Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., coauthor of Extraordinary Dreams and How to Work with Them *\u003cbr\u003e“With his customary precision and style, David Jay Brown illuminates the dreamtime . . . and he tells you how you can work and play in that dream space. An important book for true dreamers.” * R. U. Sirius, musician, digital culture iconoclast, and author of Transcendence: The Disinformation *\u003cbr\u003e“Kapow. Brown’s \u003ci\u003eDreaming Wide Awake\u003c\/i\u003e connects the multidimensional dots that are strewn throughout the tiered cosmos. He goes far and deep into the mysteries of the dreaming mind and, even more impressively, does this with his feet planted on the ground and armed with a skeptical but compassionate outlook.” * Ryan Hurd, coeditor of Lucid Dreaming: New Perspectives on Consciousness in Sleep and author of Drea *\u003cbr\u003e“A fascinating read. With curiosity and heart, David Jay Brown invites the reader to explore a unique fusion of shamanism, psychedelics, and lucid dreaming. Watch the doors between the worlds swing open!” * Clare Johnson, Ph.D., author of Breathing in Colour and Dreamrunner *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAcknowledgments \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/b\u003eExploring the Secret Realm of the Waking Dream \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e1\u003c\/b\u003e Shamanic Plants, Psychedelics, and Mind-Body Healing \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e2\u003c\/b\u003e The Psychology and Physiology of Dreaming \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 \u003c\/b\u003e The Science of Lucid Dreaming \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e4\u003c\/b\u003e Improving Lucid Dreaming and Developing Superpowers in the Dream Realm \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e5\u003c\/b\u003e Enhancing Dreaming with Oneirogens, Nutritional Supplements, Herbs, and Drugs \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e6 \u003c\/b\u003e Exploring the Potential of Electronic Technologies \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e7\u003c\/b\u003e Communicating with Dream Characters, Archetypes, Spirits, and Disembodied Entities \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e8\u003c\/b\u003e Dream Telepathy, Psychic Phenomena, Mutual Dreaming, and Shared Lucid Dreams \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e9\u003c\/b\u003e Out-of-Body Experiences, Parallel Universes, and Alternate Dimensions \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e10\u003c\/b\u003e Conscious Dreaming as a Path to Spiritual Awakening \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNotes \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBibliography \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOnline Resources \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIndex \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAbout the Author \u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Inner Traditions Bear and Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48740661231959,"sku":"9781620554890","price":18.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781620554890.jpg?v=1720055277","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/dreaming-wide-awake-lucid-dreaming-shamanic-healing-and-psychedelics-9781620554890","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
