Exploring the impossible is just the start. Let's explore the inconceivable.
Are you frustrated that you are of the world and not in the world, and that it grinds on day by day without change? Would you like to recreate your reality? Do you think you could do this if you could wake up in your dreams? This is the topic of Becoming Lucid and it's not just for sleep-it's life work.
If you want to change your reality, the first thing you must find out is how it got to be the way it is. Until you become aware of what role you play in seeing, believing, and maintaining your reality you will not untangle what appears to be from what could be.
This is the first book to approach lucid dreaming through hypnosis. Each chapter's trance induction, accessed online as an MP3 audio file, offers you an altered state. Listen to these inductions while falling asleep and they will become your lucid dream environment. They will open the new reality.
Drawn from the author's experience as a theoretical physicist, neurophysiologist, and hypnotherapist, Becoming Lucid would like to take your hand and lead you into states of mind you can't even imagine.
"Lincoln Stoller takes the de facto approach to lucid dreaming and turns it on its head. Rather than yet another guide book, this work represents a paradigm shift to an entirely new mode of thinking."- Chris Hammond, Chief Lucidity Officer at www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com
"Delightful! Becoming Lucid fills a huge gap in the lucid literature by developing lucid dreams alongside classic methods of consciousness exploration. Dr. Stoller's altogether rational perspective still leaves room for the mystery and majesty of the unconscious. Hypnosis audio files in each chapter are a most delightful addition. A must for all serious explorers of consciousness."- Ryan Hurd, author of Lucid Immersion Guidebook. Editor of Lucid Dreaming: New Perspectives on Consciousness in Sleep.
"Not just about dreams, and not just a book. Becoming Lucid links awareness of dreaming and awareness of waking in a practical exploration of your consciousness-and something deeper. It's about being awake to your life, with step-by-step instructions. I recommend this for everyone interested in lucid dreaming and raising their consciousness."-Howard Rheingold, author of Excursions to the Far Side of the Mind, and Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming.
Author Biography:
Lincoln Stoller grew up around and was mentored by artists, engineers, scientists, athletes, and educators recognized as some of the greatest of the century--including three Nobel Laureates in physics and a handful of world-famous mountaineers--as well as by numerous visionaries, mystics, shamans, and madmen.
He has published in the academic and the popular press as an astronomer, physicist, software architect, neurologist, anthropologist, psychotherapist, explorer, and educator. He is an assessing editor at the Journal of Mind and Behavior, has written three books, and has participated in the founding of three schools for young people.
As a teenager, he traveled the world climbing mountains and, in the process, fell 1,000 feet off the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, swam across the arctic sea, crashed his airplane, collapsed his horse, stepped in quicksand, survived frostbite, starved, poisoned himself, survived a major earthquake, was buried in an avalanche, and became a cultural ambassador to families in Central America, Mongolia, and the Caribbean.
During this time he attended seven colleges, got a doctorate in Quantum Mechanics, became certified as a hypnotherapist, glider pilot, and rescue diver, founded a software company specializing in business automation, designed and built two houses, and was awarded a patent in computer software.
After moving from New York to British Columbia, Lincoln now works with clients in the areas of brain training, sleep, spiritual emergence, medical hypnosis, and entrepreneurship. Committed to supporting mental health, personal growth, and social evolution, he blogs and podcasts regularly. He can be reached through his web site at mindstrengthbalance.com.
