Synopsis
This book attempts to teach the skills that can help you to have lucid dreams — dreams in which you know that you are dreaming. For the skeptical, lucid dreams have been scientifically demonstrated to exist. The ability to lucid dream will open your mind to a world of infinite possibilities as you become adept at taking control of your dreams.
We will start by explaining how lucid dreaming works biologically. Next, the book will prepare you for lucid dreaming by helping you to remember more of your dreams (dream recall). You will then learn a variety of ways of becoming, and staying, lucid. Finally, you will find suggested activities to try while in the dream world.

Before each target there is an image with a subjective indication of how complete that target is:
25% Means that there is little information or the information there may not be reliable.
50% Means that there is some information, but it's not very detailed or extensive.
75% Means that much of the information is there, but it needs to be touched up or organized. This is still usable.
100% Means that the information is basically complete. However, more detail can always be added.
