Letter From Scott Sparrow

Abstract

I agree that it’s time we tackled the question of the advisability of promoting widespread lucid dream induction. It’s somewhat surprising that a more heated debate hasn’t sprung up before now. But now that lucid dreaming has been established as a legitimate focus of research enquiry, and has been found to be available to a large percentage of the populace, it’s certainly time to ask, "What is the appropriate context in which to encourage lucid dream induction?" With regard to this question, I’m going to share some ideas without going back to arrange them. I know if I try to do that, I’ll never find the time to finish a letter to you. So please forgive the disjointed nature of this response.
