For 40 years, I have utilized lucid dreaming, or the ability to become consciously aware while dreaming, to explore the nature of reality, the dream state and consciousness. Recently, I authored the new book, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Moment Point Press: 2009) to share my insights and help others create a deeper and richer lucid dreaming life.

My passion for lucid dreaming can also be found at www.dreaminglucid.com where I co-edit the quarterly e-zine, The Lucid Dream Exchange, and at my book's website, www.lucidadvice.com which has links to my blog, feedback from happy readers and reviews.

Currently, I serve as the President of the International Association for the Study of Dreams, www.asdreams.org and often speak at conferences, colleges and other venues on lucid dreaming.

Lucid dreaming provides a revolutionary tool to investigate the unconscious mind, which Freud called, "the true reality of the Psyche." In my book, I highlight experienced lucid dreamers who have used lucid dreaming to apparently heal their physical body, while consciously aware in the dream state. Additionally, I investigate how lucid dreamers can access a hidden reservoir of knowledge and information, similar to the collective unconscious. Lucid dreaming has enormous potential for personal transformation and growth.
