To awaken during sleep and exercise full control over what happens in dreams is one of the most amazing adventures a human being can have. Lucid dreaming offers a direct link to the deepest parts of the mind, the emotions, and the imagination, allowing us to release the enormous potential within us. It is also a doorway into a new awareness of hidden aspects of waking reality. Tony Crisp's practical exercises and step-by-step instructions explain how to become fully conscious while dreaming- to use dreams for self-exploration, problem solving, enhancing self-confidence, learning new skills, fostering creativity, and strengthening relationships.
Tony Crisp is an internationally recognized expert on dreams and their interpretation, best known for his bestselling book Dream Dictionary: An A to Z Guide to Understanding Your Unconscious Mind, translated into seven languages. With more than fifty years in the personal development and self-help movement, he co-founded one of the UK’s first human growth centres in the 1970s. A psychotherapist for two decades, he combined deep relaxation, bodywork, and dream exploration to guide individuals toward greater self-understanding and spiritual awareness. Tony’s lifelong journey has centered on uncovering the secrets of the mind and spirit through dreams, meditation, and self-exploration. He has taught thousands to access their inner worlds, often using dreams as doorways to transformation and healing. His approach emphasizes allowing unfamiliar inner voices and images to surface, enabling people to confront fear, awaken creativity, and rediscover purpose. Tony writes passionately about the human capacity for growth and the importance of embracing our inner genius rather than suppressing it. He believes the unconscious holds not only personal truths but also the potential for profound transformation. He continues to live a solitary and reflective life in a cottage in Wales, where he writes, explores, and remains deeply connected to the dream landscape.
I found the exercises helpful and well explained. The wording and the affirmations are powerful and precise and above all reading this book feels like being in a dream, because it is so colorful and beautifully done with lot's of love to details.
I have a few books on that topic and this is the most appealing one, for now I'm only missing an electronic form of this book.
