A new approach to lucid dreaming meets ancient wisdom

Lucid Talisman: Forgotten Lore adds to the many useful techniques available for lucid dream induction. As a lifelong lucid dreamer, the concept of using ritual as part of the process helps to put me in the right frame of mind for success, as well as to add deeper meaning to my practice. The history and stories of talisman and amulets provides a sense of the larger meaning behind dreams and lucidity. This book is a great accompaniment to the talisman.

An Alchemical Approach to Healing Through Dreamwork

Lucid Talisman: Forgotten Lore by Ryan Hurd is an experiential guide book for those who value dreams and see the potential of Lucidity. Ryan's approach to lucid dreams is very practical and similar to mine. Though the concept of "talismans" evokes thoughts of superstition, in this case, it's more about the magical thinking that occurs within our dreaming mind — the place where magical thinking thrives. In dreams, we can harness the power of magical thinking to its fullest benefit. With this understanding, The Lucid Talisman is a liminal object that bridges the gap between waking and dreaming. Following the instructions in the book — those who have one of the beautiful talismans created by Lee Adams and Ryan Hurd — one is able to utilize this beautiful work of art and see how it manifests within dreams and increases the likelihood of lucidity with intention. The Lucid Talisman is inspired by the medieval concept of alchemy, which is about transforming base metals into gold. Alchemy is a favorite subject of mine. In Jungian terms, alchemy is about transmuting our shadow sides and embracing our full potential as human beings. It's about living a lucid life. On one side of the Talisman is inscribed the words, "Dormiens Vigila" which translates to, "sleep with vigilance". On the other side of the coin, there is the inscription "Lucide Vive" which translates as "live with lucidity". A quote from the book eloquently expresses this idea...
" Lucid living is not just the bridge that allows waking awareness into the dream world, but also brings the deeper lunar imagination back into waking life".
When we are able to joyfully embrace the cycles of our lives —the light and the shadow, the day and the night, the sun and the moon, waking and dreaming —we have the potential to heal in many ways, individually and collectively. There is so much trauma in our world. One of the missions and motivations behind the work that Ryan Hurd does is to support research into nightmares. The Lucid Talisman Project has a competitive grant to use in research of the healing potential of dreaming for suffers with post-traumatic stress disorder. Any opportunity for healing in this world is a gift, and I wholeheartedly support the work that Ryan does and what this book inspires to do.

Great book. Talismans well made.

 I just read the book. I thought it was absolutely wonderful. Definitely worth purchasing. The talisman’s are sturdy. I bought a couple for my kid to play with because he was jealous and he hasn’t even been able to beat them up too bad this was about a year ago. The talisman are deeply fraught with symbolism that the book goes into deeply.
