I bought this book after experiencing a WILD for the first time and wanting to read more about them. The writer is clearly an experienced lucid dreamer who has refined and honed his technique for successful lucid dreaming, and is very passionate about his method. However, I found this book to be mainly a bad-mouthing of DILD, standing off one against the other quite regularly and concluding each time WILD to be the best of the two. This point was first made very early on, and I found myself getting more and more frustrated as the book went on with this constantly being brought up.
I read the whole book, giving it a chance and I did find a few pages of really useful information about WILD. It was really nice reading the passion that came through from the writer sharing his experience. Those few pages were the highlight of the book, and something I feel that were a standalone to the rest. For the remainder, so many blanket statements were made about dream and sleep based on the writer's own personal opinions, most of which clashed with my own exploration of unconscious dreaming and lucid dreaming. I really love hearing people's thoughts and points of view, however when it leads to broad assumptions being made about other people, it feels extremely dismissive, and leads to a very "black and white", "right and wrong" view, which I find quite damaging, especially when making a connection is so important to me as part of the reader experience. It further concerns me regarding the divisive attitude that the writing style may nurture.
I have also read much more thorough and balanced introductions to lucid dreaming, which the first part of of this book focused on. Again there were many blanket statements and assumptions being made in a repetitive and long-winded way.
I partly made my purchase on all the five star reviews of this book. If other readers are in agreement with the reader regarding WILD and DILDs I can understand this. At the same time I feel the need to add a review from a completely different perspective. Had I seen the American Amazon reviews, which reflect my own concerns, I would probably not have purchased this book. When it comes down to the actual technique for WILD, I have found WILDs to be described in other LD literature to a similar level of detail as this book. Having found DILD to be a very successful method for lucid dreaming, and just wanting to learn more about WILD, I personally found this book to be a disappointing read.
