By bringing greater awareness into your waking state, you spark more critical awareness in the dream state which can lead you to realize, “This is a dream!”Integrating your daytime practice into your life allows you to explore the illuminating connections between the realities of waking and dreaming. You ‘know’ the dream as a mental creation. But in what way is ‘waking’ also a mental creation? And how does lucid dreaming connect you with creating a more fulfilling, lucid life? These practices will encourage the awakening and lucid living for a happier and more fulfilling life.Robert Waggoner © 2011
