  • Introduction

    Greetings, and welcome to the universe of lucid dreaming!  I hope you have an exciting time during your visit.

    If you're like many newcomers, you may find yourself a bit lost upon entering a foreign universe.  Sadly, some visitors get so befuddled that they lose their ticket of lucidity right away.  That's understandable.  Lucidity is one of the easiest things to lose in any universe.  But we all know the rules: no ticket, no trip.

    It's a real shame.  You see, we really are an entire universe, as big, if not bigger than the one you came from.  I can't begin to list all the lands of lucidity waiting to be discovered and explored.  This guidebook gives just a tiny tase, with the goal of elucidating your imagination to the countless possiblities awaiting you.

    The next time you visit the lucid universe, feel free to ask for the latest edition of this guide book (the interactive version is highly recommended).  Or you can request a copy of another reputable publication.  A Trillion Things To Do In Your Sleep, The Idiots Guide to Lucid Dreaming, and I Went Lucid Dreaming and All I Got Was One Lousy Moment are all popular choices, although none have been tranlslated into the waking universe.

    Some of the lucid lands mentioned in this edition of the guidebook are easy to get to.  Others take a bit of work.  Many are waiting for that adventurous Lucid traveller to put it on the Map of Known Lucid Lands.

    Many thanks to the lucid travellers at ld4all.com and lucidity.com, who have explored the lucid frontiers, and returned to share their adventures.
