   ### - literally swimming up to our necks in all our own filth, and   
   loving it apparently! (jeez)   
      
   pigs indeed!   
      
   and yet, STILL underneath ALL that, is a forgotten humanity once proud &   
   strong and very capable, reduced now to inanely standing in-line for   
   everything including their very own lives, waiting for a life to happen   
   that just never appears...   
      
   (here's a note from some observant fucker on the same subject heh...)   
      
   "...Another thing I can tell you about lucid dreaming is that the steady   
   practice of it also eventually causes one to begin re-evaluating one’s   
   own life and life circumstances, in that most people have unwittingly   
   allowed themselves to become almost completely caught up in their   
   workplace and homes, their families and hobbies. So much so, that there   
   remains very little room left in their lives with which to explore any   
   of the deeper, perhaps hidden, meanings of life. Most people are so busy   
   and involved in their current activities that they simply haven’t got   
   the time left over to explore anything more meaningful, even if it is   
   available to them. In which case, learning to activate their innate   
   ability to lucid dream can also offer people a kind of second chance at   
   this, so to speak, and to take a look at opportunities to do so they may   
   have inadvertently missed.   
      
   The fact is that the intelligent and observational approach to lucid   
   dreaming eventually begins to carry-over into a person’s waking   
   awareness as well, thus presenting them with countless new opportunities   
   to tweak the often rigidly fixed values of their waking life in a   
   variety of ways. A chance they wouldn’t otherwise get under any other   
   circumstances, at least not until they were very much older, possibly   
   even retired, and had the spare time in their lives to even consider   
   looking at everything again.   
      
   The truth being, that it is probably better for someone to re-evaluate   
   their life situation while they are still young rather than waiting   
   until they have fulfilled all or most of their duties to their families,   
   friends and work in society, before finding themselves with enough free   
   time to be able to re-examine their lives and the way they live to any   
   meaningful degree.   
      
   So, why learn to lucid dream? Well, possibly because it might just   
   present a person with what is ultimately the opportunity of a lifetime;   
   a genuine chance to totally re-examine their life and the way they’re   
   living it. And thus an opportunity they might never otherwise get to   
   enrich their lives beyond measure in terms of the boost to the ‘quality’   
   of life they will very likely experience from that re-examination."

   I'm astonished at the detailed accuracy of your descriptions. I know   
   them to be true from 'experience'. I've been struggling with the lucid   
   state in the last years after having much success earlier, but now I can   
   see the importance of setting aside the sleep induced methods for WILD .   
   You're a blessing to the dreaming community 'indeed'!

   ***** Helpful book on how to Lucid Dream by achieving Body Asleep-Mind   
   Awake state Alexandra Hopkins -Amazon US Customer Review on October 24, 2022   
   The book includes a lot of helpful information and it actually changed   
   my life. As a result of reading it, I tried his technique and am now   
   able to meditate during afternoon naps and for hours during the night. I   
   hope to stretch this out to meditating through the entire night. So, I'm   
   very glad that the author wrote this book! Thank you.

   I've tried every strategy. If your goal is lucid dreaming there's   
   nothing better than Brian Aherne's method.
