(Recurring Dream Boat): Lucid Dreaming Expert Robert Waggoner The Dream Boat
-
- Self-Improvement
To celebrate World Lucid Dreaming Day (12 April), we’re replaying our interview with Robert Waggoner, a leading expert on lucid dreaming.
One of the world’s top lucid dreamers, Robert Waggoner, joins Dave and Laura for a fascinating journey into the often so-called “rare” dream state of lucid dreaming. But as Robert will show, it’s not that rare for some people, and you can try it too.
Author of Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self and Lucid Dreaming Plain and Simple (with Caroline McCready), Robert shares how he has had over a thousand lucid dreams since he discovered he could do it whilst at high school in the US on reading Carlos Castaneda's books about Don Juan.
We hear what he has learned from his lucid dreams, from tips on becoming lucid in a dream to answers to some of his questions about the nature of consciousness, which he started to explore once he got bored with flying and walking through walls in his dreams. It turns out there’s more to lucid dreaming than manipulating the dream reality, more than wish fulfilment, and certainly more than making yourself more productive.
We look at the history of research into lucid dreaming. What is lucid dreaming, according to Robert Robert’s own techniques and how to try this out for yourself. Lucid games of flying, walking through walls and having sex. How to stay lucid and not wake up. The impact of the film Inception on Lucid Dreaming Neuroscience studies on the state Robert’s own principles of Lucid Dreaming and its gateway to the deeper state of amazing spiritual experiences and being connected to a larger awareness. For the Dream of the Week, Robert also shares his lucid dream in which his mother-in-law returns from the land of the dead with an important message for him.
