Much has been written about the phenomenon known as lucid dreaming, where while dreaming, the individual recognizes that she or he is in a dream and is able to consciously direct her or his actions as while awake instead of passively participating in the dream experience. Perhaps the most salient element in lucid dreaming is that one is aware that one is in a dream while in it – a type of meta-awareness. The objective of what could be called “lucid waking” is to develop a similar meta-awareness of life while in the normal waking state. In other words, it is to gradually awaken within the dream of reality. Presented by longtime Rosicrucian and Martinist Julian Johnson.
