This week’s show is with Robert Waggoner. Robert has had more than 1,000 lucid dreams and has taught workshops on four continents, helping people learn how to become lucidly aware in their dreams, and then use this unique state to access inner creativity, promote emotional and physical healing, engage a responsive inner awareness and more!

Robert Waggoner wrote the acclaimed book, Lucid Dreaming - Gateway to the Inner Self and the award winning, Lucid Dreaming Plain and Simple (with co-author Caroline McCready) and his books have been translated into eight languages.

He co-edits the free online magazine, Lucid Dreaming Experience and serves on the Executive Committee of the International Association for the Study of Dreams.

In this episode, Lian is joined by Robert Waggoner to explore the mysterious and transformative world of lucid dreaming. Together, they journey into the science, spirituality, and personal revelations that arise when one becomes consciously aware within the dream state.

Robert shares his extensive experience, uncovering the origins and scientific validation of lucid dreaming while highlighting its profound potential for self-discovery and personal growth. He discusses how mindfulness within dreams can provide a gateway to deeper understanding of one's inner self.

They explore how lucid dreaming offers practical applications, from overcoming fears and phobias to unlocking significant personal changes and profound spiritual experiences, including meditative practices within the dream state.

Together, they reflect on the continuous process of learning and growth that lucid dreaming inspires, offering listeners insights into how dreams can be a powerful mirror of consciousness and a tool for transformation.

  • Meditation and spiritual growth within dreams: Lucid dreams offer a unique platform to deepen meditation practices, access states of transcendence, and even connect with a sense of universal awareness, enriching both dream and waking life.
