The first two thirds of this book weren’t useful to me personally, since I taught myself lucid dreaming as a young child. Apparently I’ve been doing some advanced techniques, according to this book…
I’m not a fan of the perfectionist side of Buddhism reflected in this book.
However, the last third was quite interesting and useful to my brain, even though I’m not planning to exactly follow the advice!

I did like the first part about Lucid Dreaming a lot. Good tips, for me a great new solution is not to move after awakening to remember the dreams better. But i did not like the second part of the book, since i don't believe we reincarnate and that our "substrate" subconscious just keeps on growing with each time we are born again. And no, I don't believe some monks have left hand prints in rocks just like in lucid dreams - these are fake handprints to attract visitors ;)

An impressive introduction to Tibetan Dream Yoga, the foundations of the mind according to Buddhism, and a brief overview of why modern science cannot (or refuses to) explore more metaphysical questions. Highly recommended for the novice interested in learning foundations and having some of the more philosophical questions answered.
