Reviews of Guide to Dreaming by Leon De Kock
It's downright strange that we as people are not in touch with our dreams. How messed up is it that we spend half our life asleep, having dreams but we spend like zero time trying to understand our dreams. Dreams are a mystery worth solving figuring out because, as the author points out, we can control our dreams if we practice. And I am here to tell you that it is true. I have been reading sections of this book over and over for months, and I try to read it right before I go to sleep and right when I wake up. I have reached the point where I can't control my dreams but I can influence my dreams. It's pretty crazy because I've had conversations with people who died a long time ago (in my dreams). I've had some really pleasurable yet really weird sex with several two different women (in my dreams) but I have no idea who they are. I'm wondering if the women I'm romancing in my dreams are asleep at the time and they are controlling their dreams. Is it possible that we are having nocturnal hookups? I know it sounds really weird, but it's true, you can control / influence your dreams, just follow the instructions in this book.
I read this book on my kindle before going to sleep each night, and I have been remembering more and more of my dreams. Many of these ideas work pretty well. Dreams are amazing and I'm surprised they are not a bigger part of our lives.
Dreams are so much fun and they are so mysterious. If you have not spend some time trying figure out your dreams you are missing out on one of life's great mysteries. This book is a wonderful guide to enjoying and understanding your dreams. Everyone should read it.
I enjoyed this book. It is clearly and concisely written. It has many excellent ideas for remembering and influencing your dreams. I have already tried a few and look forward to trying the things the author talks about here. Considering the amount of time we spend sleeping I think it’s a good idea to know more about our dreams, what causes them, how they work and how to influence them.
