Books about Lucid Dreaming

Note:  I have carefully selected every book in the Science-Based Awakening Library. Their titles are linked to amazon.com, which offers numerous book reviews.

Lucid-dreaming books can be categorized as being either eastern or western. The eastern books are typically written by Buddhists, who are oriented towards spiritual awakening; to identify eastern books in this library, look for the word “Yoga,” “Light,” or “Awakening” in their titles. In contrast, western lucid-dreaming books are more focused on exploration that inevitably leads to healing and spiritual evolution.

An exemplar of the impact of lucid dreaming on spiritual evolution is life-long lucid dreamer Clare R. Johnson, who appears to have experienced the ultimate state of being similar to what the Buddhists describe. In her highly recommended book, Llewellyns Complete Book of Lucid Dreaming: A Comprehensive Guide (2023), Johnson describes what some might refer to as the Void:

The Lucid Light is always there, rich with possibilities. It underlies and permeates all states of consciousness. It inspires positive feelings that range from well-being, bliss, safety, exhilaration, oneness and peace to pure, unconditional love. This blissful, loving, aware light is the bedrock of all creation. When we encounter it, we encounter the core fabric of the universe.
