Oneironaught:
The scope of Patricia Garfield's Creative Dreaming primarily covers dream control, how to go about it and how it's practiced in varies cultures (such as the Senoi tribe and native American Indians) but it does have a section about lucid dreaming. And there's actually some pretty relevant LD information in there.

Excellent book, by the way. I've read it twice and would definitely recommend it.

Bro:
Thanks for the reccomendations..I've been looking for some more material to help me along, These look very useful.

I'm currently reading "Dreaming Souls" by Owen Flanagan.

I like this, you have to get used to the way this guy speaks and allot of it comes off as technical.
It's really interesting and informative; it has good theories/research on dreams.

"Science writing at it's best...An informative review of current research on sleep and dreams and a new theory about the nature and function of dreaming, present with clarity, wit and finesse..."

What, if anything do dreams tell us about ourselves? What is the relationship between types of sleep and types of dreams? Does dreaming serve any purpose? Or are dreams simply meaningless mental noise - "unmusical fingers wandering over the piano keys"?

Aquanina:
Thanks for the thread Burns. I don't own any dreaming books...which is a shame! I do intend on getting one or two at least. =)
