More Commentary on Sparrow’s Cautions Letter

Abstract

Thank you very much for sending the copies of Scott Sparrow’s and the others’ letters (see Lucidity Letter, Vol. 7, No. 1, 1988) which I just received. I hasten to respond in order to encourage the level of interest which finally seems to be manifesting itself in this very important question of how best and most fairly to present the issues involved in fostering lucid dream induction. Like Scott, I choose to risk rambling, since being obsessive will only mean not answering you. Quite simply put, my own position has little to add to what I feel is Scott’s most eloquent set of arguments and examples concerning the down side of lucid dream induction. I admire and am envious of his clarity and precision in describing virtually all of the major points to be considered.
