Robert Waggoner - 'Lucid Dreaming - Gateway To The Inner' - Interview by Iain McNay

obert Waggoner 'Lucid Dreaming -- Gateway To The Inner' Interview by Iain McNay
Author of 'Lucid Dreaming -- Gateway To The Inner Self' talks about his early dream experiences and how he discovered Lucid Dreaming after reading Carlos Castaneda. He quantifies the scientific evidence that now exists on this subject and explains why he feels that Lucid Dreaming is a revolutionary tool to explore the actual nature of reality. It can clearly show shadow issues and the limiting nature of self-attachments and may lead to an experience of non-dual awareness.
'Something pre-exists the sense of self. The making of the 'I' is a mistaken perception, the source of a whole series of errors.'

Finding your hands is honestly some of the best advice for lucid dreaming

[@pritam9645]

How can you find your hands? To find the gands in dreams, you need awareness, right? How to do it

[@thomassouthern807]

I discovered lucid dreaming after I had finished controlling it and it immediately woke me up, age 13, now 44. At the time I was on the edge of collapse into sociopathy due to pressure from a sociopathic stepmother. I was able to not buy into the sense that, "I have no other choice" until another choice came available. I have no idea how discovering lucid dreaming was the 'better option' and saved me from collapse but I knew after that night that I would never be in danger from my stepmother again.

[@natedaren507]

I discovered lucid dreaming before I even knew the term in ~1998; by our gauge. I consumed a small dose of LSD, had some shits and giggles, and returned home. After I laid down, I found myself either minute or my bedroom was enormous. I adorned a cream colored nightgown; a la John Darling from Peter Pan minus the top hat. I was soaring about and I wondered: If I write a message on the wall will it be there when I'm awake? Thanks for sharing your sentiments Thomas.

[@mojovgb6606]

Thank you for sharing your story Thomas

[@E-Kat]

I had a lucid dream where I was walking along a beach with someone who had told me when we dream, we really go there. I wasn't allowed to see the person but know it was a man. Everything was more real than real life. I desperately wanted to bring something with me to my " awake" life so I took a shell. The being had told me if I decide to go back I have to only think about it and I'll go upwards, towards the sky very quickly and I'll be home . So, clutching the shell I wished to go home and felt being ssucked up so fast like in some super fast lift. Whilst traveling upwards I could feel the shell flowing through the gaps between my fingers. I had tried so hard to stop it from dessapearing from my hand but to no avail. When I woke up I could feel and see the dents in my hand from the shell's spikes. That's a very short description of the events in my dream. The person from the dream had told me to tell everyone about it .

[@mysteryimagine244]

Do you still lucid dream?

[@E-Kat]

@@mysteryimagine244 yes, I do. Went to this man’s room, rummaged through his belongings, read documents in his filing cabinet! Could tell the man liked hunting as there were antlers on the wall and guns. The walls were painted dark green. I thought if I knock on his desk and can hear it, than it means I’m really there and I could here it very well. The desk was mahogany and very shiny. Unfortunately I can’t remember what was in those files, it all faded away before I could find my pen to write it down. Sometimes I remember people’s names from my dreams and they’re extremely unusual, the spelling is so untypical, yet I keep repeating it till I get the pen and then when I google it, I find the person bearing this name, sometimes they’re American Indians or some Buddhas. I suppose, it could be a total coincidence, but I still find it amazing. Do you lucid dream?🥀

[@mysteryimagine244]

@@E-Kat for about 1 year now I’ve been trying really hard to lucid dream. Trying a lot of techniques and the best I’ve had are fake lucid dreams where I dream of having lucid dreams. Any tips?

[@E-Kat]

@@mysteryimagine244 I’m sorry but I have no tips for you. Maybe don’t try so hard and it will happen to you naturally. I’ve had a shared lucid dream with my daughter, where we both were flying! She came to me in the morning telling me about me being in her dream, and I said I know, we were flying! I’ve never forgotten this dream, remember very vividly flying above fields and trying to avoid power lines. She’s said the same thing. So, maybe this ability is genetic, I don’t know. Try to relax from now on and you’ll see it might just happen. Sorry I couldn’t offer you any help. 🤗

[@GangStalkingIsACrimeDotCom]

@@E-Kat Could the lucid dreams you've had actually been astral projections?

[@hydrogenroar]

The "inner self" that lucid dreaming is supposed to be a gateway to is the same self that is present in full view every moment of your existence. That is because it is YOU and there is only one YOU. The source of all happiness is not in experiences but in knowing YOU. You are the source, not an experience. YOU are what is extraordinary. You are the ever-present awareness that makes all experiences possible.

[@AUBERGINEize]

[@MrJoesteptoe]

My lucid dreaming story starts exactly the same way... reading Castaneda's Journey To Ixtlan and having my first lucid dream a few nights later. This seems like a common story.

[@BloodWhiteAndBlue]

my dreams are so vivid its like I'm in another dimension. I've been lucid dreaming for 14 years now and have gained unlimited control and power within my dreams yet there are times where its like I'm living a separate life in another time. I can't quiet explain it but I always give myself time to wake and evaluate the events of my dream to dissect and decipher its contents. I do believe though that we have full control of the penial gland during sleep though its only speculation

[@zoeshannon9509]

When I was a child I lived a separate life in the dream world for several years so I understand what you are saying. I led a good life there. At that time, I remember being very excited about going to bed at night. I have lost all of this and am hoping to get into lucid dreaming

[@legoman9299]

"The wall to my right was dream stuff" "Dream Stuff" a scientific term since 2012, thanks Robert Waggoner, that's the most scientific word i've ever heard

[@CurtW1962]

lucid dreaming is a beginning in the spiritual journey to inner knowledge. I too read Castaneda in college and am a practitioner of the art of dreaming. The more consciousness that you bring into the dreamstate the less confused and the more coherent the dreamstate becomes. And also the more firm the dream body and dream world become. Until the inner world is indistinguishable from our outer (waking) world. The practices of Don Juan in the waking world help create consciousness in the dream world. The gait of power...running in the woods at night to let your night vision allow you to see better in the darkness. Stopping the world...living in the moment. understanding that death is hunting all of us. To begin with the understanding that we must seek a way out of our fate. This knowledge brings us to feel our thoughts and more deeply experience life. To seek within the dream also helps us to feel the world with both heart and mind in waking consciousness. But, also, to not quit searching until we find....and what are we seeking? Ultimately our true selves...which is a reconnection with our creator.

lucid dreaming helps you realize the awake world is like a dream as well. while were awake we can be 'lucid' and gain an awakening that this life is merely a dream or film to watch. if your somewhat of a skilled lucid dreamer you can manifest your desires in your lucid dreams such as flying like iron man. perhaps we too can manifest our inner desires in the awake world. this insight came as I had a dream during my lucid dream. so double dreaming and double waking.

Splendid job, cheers!

[@jakesteeve]

Had a lucid dream early this morning after watching this. Tried asking the inner awareness a question and sure enough a voice appeared. Sounds like the voice i heard once when searching for god. During that time the voice told me to be careful and that the devil was on my back. But how do I know that this voice can be trusted? On another note maybe none of this is real and im Schiz! Good luck to all out there lucid dreaming! Has been a fairly easy thing for me to do ive done it all my life. I can even plan what I want to dream about before I sleep. A good way to get successful results for ppl out there not having any luck, try depriving yourself of sleep after the witching hour. Stay up till around 4am and plan to have a lucid dream. Become aware.

[@cynthiasmith5011]

I've had a few lucid dreams. The first occurred when I was about twenty. The lights in my room kept turning on. I kept getting up to turn them off. About the fourth time I realized it was a dream so I looked at my hands (as Don Juan advised Castaneda to do) and I went up through the ceiling and flew over the city. Very cool.

[@sparklingkitten649]

After watching this last night, I kept telling myself "Am I dreaming?" Until I fall asleep and in then in my dreams I asked myself "Am I dreaming?" Then I realized I am and then little did I know that I was dreaming that I am dreaming about having a lucid dream. Damn.

[@armytaskforce11x]

The real reason to find your hands in a dream is so you can choose the outcome,for instance when you dream,your dream is just on auto pilot and anything can happen and you have no control ,but when you find your hands,your no longer stuck as a spectator of the dream,your no longer stuck in first person,now you can at least see your hands and pick stuff up ,like guns,so if shit goes crazy in your dream you can defend your self and not freak out and have a night mare when shit goes crazy in your dreams. and learning how to talk in your dreams is just as important ,notice in most of our dreams can be silent,and you can only hear and not speak,once you learn to speak in the dream world ,you can gather information,you can control your path and have a better understanding on how to find your way out of stuff,a good example,if your having a nightmare and you can speak in the dream and use your hands ,you can seek information by talking to someone you see in your nightmare ,and get answers about how to escape ,or how to solve the problem ,or situation in the dream.

I've been a natural lucid dreamer since my early teens. scary for the first few years as my lucidity was accompanied by sleep paralysis and visual and sound hypnagogic hallucinations and i didn't understand what was going on. Now my lucidity is in control i can be anyone and go anywhere. i usually elect levitation as my transport. beware the lucid dream dimension is unlike any of the other extra dimensions. if you ever get there, at first you will panic & snap straight back to this dimension.

[@SurpriseGuest1]

Got the book yesterday and got up to page 20. Had a LD 1st nigh! Was the 1st LD I had in 15 years so yeah it freaked me out! As soon as I realized I was in la la land I did what the book told me to do and looked at my hands (to keep focus and calm) when I felt I had a grip again I flew off into some woods. I decided that's all I wanted to do that night and pictured myself in bed to wake up. but I must have just drifted off into a dream.

[@jaybee7414]

I was around 6-7 when I experienced a recurring pattern of being in a small store at their comic book stand. As I selected the comics I got a sense of fading away and then I realized I was dreaming and on the verge of waking up. Several times I’d be on the bed grasping the comics in my right hand as if I could retrieve them from the dream world but they would dissolve into nothingness and then I’d be awake. That started my journey into lucid dreaming. The part I enjoyed the most was “levitating” off of my bed and flying out the window. I use to dreaming lucidly twice a week but haven’t done it regularly for 25 years. I had some great experiences but for the most part my dreams were too short.

I have experienced not only recurring lucid dreaming but effective dreaming a la "Lathes of Heaven". Two come to mind: one was a recurring flying dream where I am walking down a tree-lined street and look down and I am a couple of feet off the ground, and from there go flying around over the top of the trees. The other one was I am in a city that seems both foreign and familiar. I can't understand what people are saying but they seem friendly. Years later I was flying for real above the trees in a helicopter in Vietnam. That flying dream stopped after that. 30 years after the war, I returned, fell in love with a Saigon lady, got married and we had our honeymoon in Dalat. From our hotel, we walked down to the lake to have lunch, walked around the city and couldn't remember where our hotel was. We were standing on a street corner and she suddenly jumped on the back of a motorcycle of one of the "Dalat Cowboys" who served as a taxi service. I'm standing on the street corner all alone, no money, passport at hotel, no identification and can't speak Vietnamese. People smiled as they passed by me and I thought, "Damn, this is my dream!". She returned in about 15 minutes and we walked to the hotel about 3 minutes away. Never had that dream again.

I’ve realized I’m starting to lucid dream more often. Now that I’m aware and I’ve learned some tips I’ve def been able to change things in my dreams. If I get too excited things go black and I wake up. Recently things went black and before I woke up I could hear all these loud voices. It was all of my thoughts. Very overwhelming I think I woke up after that. Then I went into my sleep paralysis. I don’t sleep in my back unless it’s unintentional bc I’ve always suffered from sleep paralysis. Now I’m trying to face my fears and try to enjoy the paralysis state since I’m assuming it’s like a condition for me. This last time I had to say the Lord’s Prayer bc I was trying to wake up. Lol ❤

Suddenly... i heard my clock just *tick* VERY fast, i looked at the clock, it was SPINNING super fast, so i thought "hey..wait... THIS IS A DREAM!" and i was just filled with ectasy, such an amazing feeling. then it all turned black... and i woke up in the dream again... but this time, i felt.. affraid, terrified, though i did not know why... i peaked around the corner of my wall.. suddenly i heard someone PUNCH the wall right infront of me, then i woke up, and i was unsure if iw as awake or not. hard to explain.. hope this helps!

[@cbhoy5527]

Yes it does, after reading your first post I searched and there are reports on similar experience, states of fear as you mention. I have always experienced a euphoric feeling in a lucid dream. I think what you describe is fear in ordinary dream after departing the lucid state, I think, if I understood you correctly.

[@triggerwarning5025]

Charles Gibson Yes that might be correct. it was strange indeed... it was the same psychological dream space as in the lucid dream state, but this time i had no control over it... So yeah it might have been another state of dreaming that caused this.. but the euphoria you describe charles, i know all about it. you know how it feels, when your arm or foot falls "asleep" that feeling is the same i get when i realize i am dreaming, only then ALL over. its like this amazing feeling of "OH MY GOD!!!! im dreaming, WOOOW!" and i get massive euphoria until the dream ends. Its a strange phenomena indeed, being conscious in your unconscious. according to my studies, we spend 20-25 years asleep. So being lucid during some of that time is pretty good i think. i tend to explore my deepest fears while lucid, so i can understand them better, and make it easier to face them in ordinary life. so, since we´re at it, what do you do when you are lucid charles? anything in particular?
