I came to this book after having read LeBerge's Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming a few times. I like the diversity that Waggoner proudly brings to the table with his take on the subject, and the book reads easily with LD accounts spread throughout. With that being said, Waggoner is blindingly dedicated to the more provocative ideas, such as that there is a shared dream space, that lucid dreamers can encounter the consciousness of the deceased, and so on, and systematically takes the path of least intellectual resistance to draw such conclusions. He cuts the investigation (or 'devil's advocate') of LD accounts and of ideas in order to assert his opinion not as plausible, but as factual, definite, and undeniable. This is simply a disservice to intellectual honesty, and this eagerness to be contrarian or profound makes the book frustrating. LeBerge, by contrast, asks the hard questions that challenge the ideas he is offering up, but Waggoner just indulges his preexisting beliefs/hopes about the LD world. I still recommend the book, however. A differing perspective is good, I just wish Waggoner wanted to challenge ideas rather than pedal them.
