Enhancing Creativity through Lucid Dreaming

Each night our dreams create incredible worlds of the imagination. But what if you could become aware in your dreams, and consciously interact with dream imaginings? Robert Waggoner, the author of [i]Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self[/i] (October 2008) will discuss lucid dreaming, or the ability to become consciously aware in the dream state while dreaming, and how lucid dreamers are using this ability to enhance their creativity. Proven by Dr. Keith Hearne at the University of Hull (England) and Dr. Stephen LaBerge at Stanford more than 25 years ago, lucid dreaming has become scientifically accepted as a fascinating, unique state of awareness. Over the past 30 years, the author has logged more than 1,000 lucid dreams, consciously aware in dream reality, and deeply explored the dream state’s potential for information and creativity. In his book, Waggoner explains how to become consciously aware in dreams, maintain your awareness, understand the principles of dream reality and actively engage the dream environment. Aware in the dream state, potential creativity surrounds you - if you know how to engage it. A summa cum laude graduate of Drake University with a degree in psychology, the author also serves as the president-elect of the International Association for the Study of Dreams (IASD), co-editor of the quarterly publication [i]The Lucid Dream Exchange[/i] and is a frequent speaker on dreams at national and international conferences.
