Lucid Dreaming e-Book Reviews
Here are short reviews of all the other lucid dreaming e-books I've discovered during my research. If you know of an e-book that's not here, let me know.
How to Lucid Dream in 7 Days
by Bradley Thompson
Reviewer: Rebecca Turner
My Rating: An intensive guide that delivers real results
Product Website: Lucid Dreaming Kit
The Lucid Dreaming Kit guarantees to teach anyone how to have lucid dreams in a week. That's the real selling point of this course; it is very intensive. And that's what gets results. The kit includes the e-book guide, How to Lucid Dream in 7 Days, and a 70-minute Audio Stimulation CD with brainwave entrainment technology to induce lucid dreams on demand. This is very valuable.
The Lucid Dreaming Kit is an excellent resource for beginners, teaching all the fundamentals of lucid dreaming and the fast-track approaches to remembering dreams and becoming conscious within them. It touches on food, drink and legal drugs to have lucid dreams, as well as many proven techniques. It may be pricey but the resulting lucid dreams are surely worth it.
Lucid Dreaming: Living in Your Dreams
by Steven Aitchison
Reviewer: Rebecca Turner
My Rating: A short but sweet introduction for beginners
Product website: Change Your Thoughts
Steven Aitchison writes a popular personal development blog called Change Your Thoughts, and his clear and methodical writing style holds true in this short but sweet lucid dreaming e-book. It explains the stages of sleep, a history of lucid dreaming, the applications of controlling your dreams, and the prerequisites to having a lucid dream.
However, at 26 pages I feel he skimped a bit on his duties of presenting a way to "live in your dreams" as the title promises. The four pages dedicated to lucid dreaming techniques don't provide nearly enough meat to this lucid dreaming e-book, which is a shame because I reckon he'd do a really good job. This is well written and has value... but there's simply not enough of it.
Directed Dreaming
by Evelyn Grazini
Reviewer: Rebecca Turner
My Rating: A new approach to subconscious intuition
Product Website: Directed Dreaming
Directed Dreaming is a way of accessing your subconscious intuition through your regular dreams. It is NOT the same as lucid dreaming, but it does share some similarities. Namely, it probes your own subconscious and involves learning to better remember your dreams.
This 75-page e-book starts by discussing the sort of things you might like to ask your subconscious - like how to attain your dream job or ideal relationship. It encourages you to think differently about your situation, and how to gain the answers you seek through your dreams.
While Directed Dreaming takes place during unconscious dreams, it shares the same basis as asking your lucid dream questions. In both cases, the answers come directly from your own subconscious, which can be very knowledgeable! This is a very powerful aspect of lucid dreaming and not to be sniffed at. Some of the leading authorities on lucidity are putting their efforts into this relatively new field of research, to harness the amazing psychological applications.
The Beginner's Guide to Lucid Dreaming
by e-Book Emporium
Reviewer: Rebecca Turner
My Rating: Some handy tidbits in here
Product Website: Completely Free e-Books

The Beginner's Guide to Lucid Dreaming contains some useful information for the complete novice looking for a way in. It answers plenty of good questions like "How long does it take to learn?","Are lucid dreams related to PSI phenomena?" and "Should you kill someone in a lucid dream?" Although the answers weren't meaty enough to really hold my interest.
It also covers the potential dangers of lucid dreaming, though they are a bit flimsy - more like a checklist for diagnosing yourself a schizophrenic. (This is almost certainly NOT a concern for lucid dreamers!)
In summary this is a concise and easily digestible take on the joys of lucid dreaming, but it is not a definitive guide for someone who's taking this seriously.
The folks at e-Book Emporium offer website owners like me the Master Resale Rights and recommend selling it at $19.95. However, it's just too short to be worth that much, and I feel a lot better giving it away for free. (Be wary of other lucid dreaming e-books on the net that are basically the exact same material repackaged - if the author remains anonymous then you've probably found one.)
