   ### - here's a nice comment that made me smile, from someone who bought a   
   kindle copy directly via the website, he replying to the accompanying note   
   that came with his book via email...   
      
   he wrote:   
      
   "I saw your interview with Robert Waggoner on the Lucid Dreaming   
   Experience Magazine and really liked your perspectives. I believe the   
   lucid dreaming community is too bogged down with the scientific   
   understanding of sleep, which is lacking to say the least. If the   
   scientific understanding of sleep 70 years ago is considered primitive by   
   today standards, what makes people believe that 70 years from now our   
   current scientific understanding of sleep won't be considered just as   
   primitive? Sleep is an area of knowledge that deals with the hard problem   
   of consciousness and even exactly right now we still have university   
   neurology professors speaking of consciousness as merely an epiphenomenom   
   of the brain and taking a pretty stubborn instance about it, against all   
   evidence to the contrary.   
      
   I like how you try to talk about sleep and lucid dreaming without framing   
   it from any particular frame of reference, be it religious or academic.   
   Truly, this is the best way to attain true knowledge.   
      
   Don't let the naysayers bring you down, you're doing God's work :)   
      
   Cheers!"

   ### - god's work now? (really laffing)   
      
   well, who knows, it might even be! ;)   
      
   (rushin' down to the outfitters to get me some purple robes here boss?)   
      
   ahaha...
