Lucid Fiction - A New Way to
Incubate Lucid Dreams
Lucid Fiction: A Short Story Collection on Lucid Dreams, Consciousness and Alternate Realities is a lucid dreaming tool like no other. It was created by sci-fi and fantasy authors with a single aim: to subconsciously incubate lucid dreams.
How It Works
Just as horror movies can beget nightmares, so too can Lucid Fiction beget lucid dreams. All expert lucid dreamers know that thinking or reading about lucid dreaming before bed can reliably produce lucid dreams. It's more commonly known as the subconscious incubation technique. Best of all, it works well for beginners because there are no complex induction techniques to follow.

This extraordinary book will show you...
- How easy it is to induce lucid dreams naturally, just by planting a small subconscious intention before you go to sleep.
- The true scope of lucid dreaming beyond fantasy and wish fulfillment, such as heightened creativity and connecting with your inner self.
- Speculative applications of lucid dreaming, like past life regression, precognitive dreams and mutual dreams.

Why I Created This Book
There are dozens of online courses and products designed to teach you how to have lucid dreams. Yet none of them make full use of the incubation technique - not by a long shot. So that's why I teamed up with a number of short story authors to create the world's first lucid dreaming anthology.
Lucid Fiction is designed to inspire and entertain - and most importantly, to plant the subconscious seed of lucidity before you sleep. This technique isn't a world first (in fact, it was pioneered by pro lucid dreamer, Dr Stephen LaBerge at Stanford University, as part of the famous MILD method he developed in the 1980s). But the material here is a fresh approach to creating lucidity in dreams.
What is Subconscious Incubation?
The subconscious mind is considered by most laymen as dark and unfathomable. I believe it's more like a child, which learns all about the world through personal experience and builds up its own unique system of conceptual understanding.
This explains a lot about the nature of dreams, which are confusing affairs, playing out our thoughts, fears and anxieties in conceptual form. The more emotional our waking day, the more vivid and intense our dreams are.
This poses the perfect opportunity to induce lucidity - by programming the subconscious mind to act as our own lucid alarm clock. To program your alarm clock, all you need is to emphasize your desire to lucid dream.
Remember, while the conscious mind thinks, the subconscious mind feels. So it makes sense to load your subconscious intention to lucid dream with as much emotion and feeling as possible. That's why we turn to the land of fiction...
Lucid Fiction: The Stories
This unique collection of short stories spans the science fiction and fantasy genres, touching on some of the amazing applications of lucid dreaming like:
- Fantasy and wish fulfillment
- Heightened self awareness
- Communication with the inner self
- Exploration of the lucid universe
- Conscious dream interpretation
- Creative problem solving
Being a work of fiction, our collection also delves into some paranormal and speculative elements of lucid dreaming:
- Past life regression
- Ferrying souls to the afterlife
- Communication with spirit guides
- Mutual dream experiments
- Precognitive dreaming
Some of the stories are fun and entertaining; some are profound and inspiring; and some are dark and challenging. But every single author understands what it feels like to be lucid and that means we can accurately emulate a lucid dream.

Jack awakens with no memory on an isolated, tropical island. As he slowly adapts to his new environment, the days turn to weeks without any sign of rescue. As Jack formulates his escape plan, he is about to make a disturbing discovery.
Where Will Your Dream World Take You?
The technique that inspired this book helped produce my very first lucid dreams when I was a teenager. It effectively launched my journey in the world of lucid dreaming, where fantasy meets reality.
You don't have to be a Tibetan monk to master dream control - far from it. All you need to do is plant the seed and let it grow. I believe Lucid Fiction is that seed.

Praise for Lucid Fiction
Here's what the lucid dreaming community has said about this book:
"Want to have a lucid dream? One of the best ways is to immerse yourself in literature and stories about lucid dreaming... that will prompt your conscious awareness into recognising the dream state. I totally recommend Lucid Fiction as an excellent way to discover your own powers of lucidity."

"This 12 story collection includes works from published authors and dream enthusiasts. In the tradition of fantasy-science-fiction, each story weaves the concept of lucid dreaming into the plot. There's also some excellent art in the ebook, including a fantastic graphic novella.
To be completely honest, from a literary perspective, one or two of the stories are a bit cliched. But most of the short pieces are entertaining, thought-provoking and mind-altering-delicious.
The writers "get" what it feels like to be inside a lucid dream; this experiential
know-how is the strongest aspect of the collection as a whole because it trips your own memory of being inside a dream.
And that is the real value of this collection - as a tool to increase lucidity. After reading through the collection, I had a powerful lucid dream that same night. (Seriously powerful: I faced down the tornado that's been haunting my dreams for a decade! What happened next... that's another story).
So, yeah, it works. This is a powerful lucid dreaming tool."

"Lucid Fiction will take you into other dimensions which were ventured by other people by other times and places. You could match your own experiences to this or this might trigger other-worldliness in your conscious life and dreaming states.
Long ago in the UK, there was a short story called Dunwich Horror, written by H.P. Lovecraft. This reminds me of that literature, which at the time of its publication was one of the very first breakthroughs in lucid dream experience.
Read Lucid Fiction and enter other worlds."
