I will avoid such tactics and go for an honest assessment. This inexpensive and well written little volume successfully makes a complicated subject easily understandable to the general public. The authors are clear that it is a handbook of practical exercises and not a book of theories of anecdotes, and openly credit and refer readers to other authors for that side of the subject. For readers who want to get right into the practice rather than theory, this book is highly recommended. The exercises are based on modern research and methods proven and tested throughout human history, dating back to the ancient Greeks and Egyptians. These are the same techniques used by LaBerge and others, but Harary and Weintraub are careful to note the historical context. Another difference I find between this book and others is that the authors encourage a balanced approach, and do not urge people to try too heavily to control their dreams, at the risk of unknown complications. They are also careful to let readers discover their own experiences, instead of giving so many anecdotes that you cannot tell the difference between your original thoughts and the power of suggestion. They also do not try to sell or promote expensive hardware, which can induce seizures even in some healthy people, to induce lucid dreams. This distinguishes them from others, who have turned lucid dreaming into a minor cottage industry. The fact that they have managed to craft such a well researched program and present it so effectively in this inexpensive little volume is an impressive accomplishment, which helps to explain why this book is becoming a classic in the field. This is a great introduction to the subject and may be the only guide most people need to explore the personal experience of lucid dreaming.Was this review helpful to you? 4 of 9 people found the following review helpful:An over-priced rip-off, June 10, 2001Reviewer:A readerfrom HawaiiVery little or no original material based on any proven or tested methods. Bluntly put, this slim book is an over-priced rip-off. The title probably more truly indicates how long the authors took writing it. Harary and Weintraub were just turning the crank on this one. Anyone looking for a reliable step-by-step guide to lucid dreaming will be much better served by Laberge and Rheingolds EXPLORING THE WORLD OF LUCID DREAMING, less expensive and much more extensive (335 vs. 128 pages), it presents both new and traditional methods of lucid dream induction, an original and scientific theory of dreaming, as well as a sweeping review of the possible applications of lucid dreaming richly illustrated with anecdotes from scores of creative dreamers. How to have lucid dreams, and what to do with them. The real thing.Was this review helpful to you? 11 of 14 people found the following review helpful:Lucid Dreaming and Happy, November 24, 2000Reviewer:An 11-year old readerfrom ILL< USAOK the tittle is true. I am finall´y having lucid dreams, and I am so happy. I now can have tea with Neil Armstrong or Little Bo Peep if I want to. Or I can fly to Pluto to see if there are aliens and find some if I want. This power I have never had over my dreams, so I treasure it. PLus from this book I learned all this. Now I am going to bed to sleep, and dream...<(o^_^o)>Was this review helpful to you? 12 of 13 people found the following review helpful:If you follow the guidelines it works, period., July 15, 2000Reviewer:Scott M Jacksonfrom Houston, Texas United StatesThis book is no joke. The excercises may seem silly and strange, but if you follow them accordingly and practice you will be able to become conscious in your dreams. You can use the subconcious to understand and fix problems you may be having in life. To put bluntly, buy it.Was this review helpful to you? This book has 16 sample pages.

LeBoeuf (vortexae@hotmail.com)from Oregon, U.S.A.Ignore the cheesy title -- this one really works. Harary and Weintraubs 30 day plan gradually immerses the reader into his/her own subconscious until s/he cant help but develop a greater awareness of his/her dreams. Faithful practice lays the groundwork for more vivid and frequent dream recall, incubation, reentry, and, finally, recognition of the dream state while dreaming. For those who believe in Doing Something with that "lost" third of their lives.. . . .Read More
