Profound and uncanny, this book contains precious new insights into the nature of imagination itself.' - JOHN HIGGS, author of William Blake vs The World'A rare and radiant journey into the dreaming mind, inviting you to awaken your own creative potential.' - TREE CARR, author of Conscious DreamerA mind-expanding look into the 'art' of lucid dreaming, Doodles In The Dark shows you how to use your dreams to awaken your creativity. Have you ever been aware that you were dreaming, and used that awareness to influence the course of your dream? If so, you've experienced lucid dreaming. In Doodles In The Dark, renowned artist and comedian Dave Green takes us on a genre-bending journey through the history, science, philosophy and spirituality of the dreaming mind. By sharing copies of otherworldly doodles that he first conceived inside his own lucid dreams, he shows us just how much our dreaming brains are capable of imagining. Much more than your average creative guidebook, Doodles In The Dark teaches us how to lucid dream and how to make artwork - not of our dreams but within the dream state itself. Part memoir, part scientific caper and part meditation on the nature of reality, this is a book for artists, oddballs and anyone interested in the creative power of their nocturnal reveries. Your dreams are waiting. It's time to wake up inside them.
