### - ok this is a pretty cool review on fb :D Don Salmon: in WILDs & WILDing: Ok, just got Brian's book on Kindle. I'm reporting in real time. I just skipped to the techniques chapter. I should mention (a) I've had many spontaneous lucid dreams since early childhood (that's the 1950s); (b) did a 6 month research project in 1991 involving teaching WILD to 12 research subjects (it was quite successful, by the way) and (c) have used relaxation and hypnagogic imagery as the basis of WILD for years. yet within the first few pages, I see something new - the way Brian talks about the need to not just observe hypnagogic images (from here on, "images" for short) but look at them in fine detail is, I can't believe it, something I haven't seen before (I've discovered it myself but tend to keep forgetting that crucial detail - it's GREAT to see someone else pointing this out) a little later, in the relaxation section, he mentions breath holding but without "corking" or tensing your throat; if you haven't done this, don't ignore it - it's a great way to relax; I'd also mention "ujayi" breathing (look it up on youtube); basically, a very slight, gentle closing of the glottis, the muscles of the throat; it also induces relaxation for many; but stay calm and loose and playful about it.... I just saw an article in Medium on a technique taught in the military to guarantee falling asleep in 2 minutes or less. it's basically what Brian is teaching here - so, again, don't overlook this step. He later tells you to notice an overall tingling sensation - people who have practiced out of body experiences for years almost always note this - i've also found if you can reach it reliably it's the perfect sign that you're much closer to a WILD. ok, there's too much to comment on. I'm on page 77 and I now declare this the best lucid dream book I've ever read (previously I thought it was Alan Wallace's "Dreaming Yourself Awake." To be fair to Alan, as far as Buddhist philosophy goes, Alan's is still the best. But that's not Brian's intention - his is purely practical. For practical lucid dreams, you just can't beat this (and FYI, no, i never heard of Brian until I joined this group a week ago and I promise you, he didn't pay me to write this:>)))) I'm off to Amazon to see if I can order a physical copy of this book. *** damn nice review eh? and he hasn't even read the second/deeper half yet heh... very interested to see what he makes of it all tho' + do enjoy his excitement in the matter :)
