2.5 stars Although I enjoyed many of the tips on how to achieve and sustain lucid dreams, I believe this book is far too basic for me. However, absolute beginners might enjoy this and learn a thing or two. For a more comprehensive book on Lucid Dreaming try Exploring the world of lucid dreaming and if you want something a bit more intermediate look into Lucid Dreaming Gateway to the Inner Self.

Pamella describes her dreams with grandiose details and vivid memory experiences. She teaches the reader how to do what she does, and to me is the greatest gift she could have ever bestowed to me, for my life. Before I read this book I had trouble acting in social situations. I would often mar what I meant to say due to being nervous. After I read this book and had the ability to lucid dream I now am able to interact more sociable. It may sound far fetched to someone who doesn't dream lucidly but every night for weeks I would dream about having conversations with people in my school, mostly people whom I do not interact with normally. Lucid dreaming has allowed me to interact with other people better, as well as make friends easier. The really cool thing about dreaming is the scene you start off in is chosen by your subconscious mind and you only have choice over your actions in your dreams. Dreaming is a very cool thing and I challenge anyone who reads this to research this topic.
