Lucid dreaming is when you are aware that you are dreaming while you are dreaming. This awareness gives you the ability to act consciously and purposefully in the dream, instead of being swept along as a passive partici-pant. You gain complete control over the dream and can do anything you wish. Tibetan Buddhist monks actively seek out this skill as a high state of consciousness. In fact, one of the earliest writings about lucid dreaming is the eighth century Tibetan manuscript, Yoga of the Dream State.

Lucid dreaming is something anyone can learn. Through practice, you can learn to recognize the dream state. Once lucid, your possibilities for self-fulfillment are unlimited: inner exploration, over-coming fears, sensual adventure, mystical encounters -- any wish fulfillment!

Are you dreaming right now? How do you know? Most dreams seem as real as waking life while we are in them, yet we do not doubt the strange things that happen around us. To become a lucid dreamer, you must be very skeptical of everything around you. You must develop the habit of not believing what you see with your own eyes, and to seriously and genuinely attempt to view your entire life as a dream.

Every odd thing that happens to you should auto-matically trigger the question, "Am I dreaming?" This new habit of doubting reality will naturally carry over into your dreaming life, and you will begin to question strange experiences in your dreams. When this happens, your question of "Am
I dreaming?" will soon be answered by a "Yes!"

If you think you may be dreaming, you need to con-firm that fact to yourself. The more you reinforce the awareness of being in the dream state, the more stable a lucid dream you will have. You need to be firmly convinced of being in a dream to have full control of a dream.

The image of a hand on the front of every Dream-Token serves as a continual reminder to test your reality by looking at your hand. Conditioned to seeing the hand, you will have a desire to look at it in the dream. This will help you to detect the dreaming state, allowing you to become aware. This is why Dream-Tokens are so effective: they not only remind you to question reality, but also teach you a simple way to confirm and reinforce your lucid state. It is a complete training tool to help you acquire the skill of lucid dreaming.

Dream-Tokens were created by Stephen Barnwell -- artist, writer, dreamer, and the creator of ANTARCTICA Dream-Dollars. The coins are 1.125" in diameter, have milled edges, and are made of solid brass from hand-cut dies. The prestigious Hoffman Mint uses coin presses identical to those used by the United States Mint, making Dream-Tokens finely crafted and durable.

These beautiful coins are minted with a high-gloss, proof finish. Being solid brass, however, they also acquire a rich, warm lustre when used over time. You'll enjoy carrying this one-of-a-kind dream object with you everywhere!

THIS AUCTION IS FOR A SINGLE TOKEN.

Are you dreaming right now?
