Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a challenging review to write. "Dreaming Yourself Awake" is a well-written book containing valuable information (thus my four star rating). However, in only 150 pages it cannot do justice to the broad swath of topics it addresses. The writing, scholarship, and erudition are equal to the high standards found in Dr. Wallace's other wonderful books. Many people will find it a good introduction to this interdisciplinary subject and for this purpose I would recommend it highly. However for those serious about this area, allow me to recommend the following four volume course of study: LaBerge's "Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming" (for practical, "how-to" lucid dreaming information), Waggoner's "Lucid Dreaming - Gateway to the Inner Self" (for the "big picture" of lucid dreaming, including spirituality), Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche's "The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep" (for Buddhist dream yoga), and Dr. Wallace's own "The Attention Revolution" (for Shamatha meditation).
