A Look at Mystic Light

Abstract

Unusual experiences of light are occasionally mentioned in accounts of lucid dreams in which the dreamer knows that he or she is dreaming. Garfield (1979) mentions experiencing lines and cracks of light, a sparkling globe, light emerging from a room, sunlight, and light shining on water. I have reported (Gillespie, 1987) points of light, small lines of light, cracks of light, disks of light, and other forms of light. I do not suggest that these minor forms of light are mystical.
