Workbook Synopis:
UNIT 1 develops the fundamental skills of dream recall and dream awareness. It also presents exercises to help you relax and focus your mind, abilities important for success with lucid dream induction techniques.

UNIT 2 begins your lucid dreaming training with a goal-setting exercise. You learn the versatile Reflection-Intention technique and prepare for the technique.

UNIT 3 teaches the Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams (MILD) technique. If practice diligently, this is an extremely powerful method of achieving lucidity. To boost your memory power, the Unit assigns a remembering game. The low-key Autosuggestion technique provides a break from the intense MILD method, and is followed by visualization practice in Unit 4.

UNIT 4 focuses on Wake-Initiated Lucid Dreams (WILD). The procedure for napping to become lucid is given, along with several methods of bringing waking awareness with you as you directly enter a dream.

UNIT 5 is the "Traveler's Guide to the Dream World," offering specific techniques for getting the most out of your lucid dreams. You learn how to delay awakening, prolong lucidity, awaken at will, and develop skill in choosing your actions and guiding lucid dreams.
