THIS IS THE REAL DEAL
This is my favorite comic book story. I was already a Gaiman fan, having read "Good Omens". But the intense intelligence and respect for the form of mythology in particular and story-telling in general, not to mention one of the all time great jumping off points (Lucifer's abdication of Hell), create a story that is breathtaking in it's scope and imagination. AMAZING! And I haven't even ...

It wasn't all just a dream
Into the Dreaming is a small(its a bit surprising) novel about a highlander named Aedan MacKinnon who was decieved by the dark Unseelie king. Aedan spends five hundred years in the land of shadow and ice, there he was trained by the Unseelie king to be Vengence. Part of the agreement they had was that the MacKinnons would be safe and that Aedan after his sentence is served could go back to Dun ...

I think I saw Martin Tenbones on the streets yesterday...
Like a huge boulder that cannot be stopped, Gaiman continues to plow through the journeys of the characters we first were introduced to in the spellbinding introduction entitled "Preludes and Nocturnes" with his fifth collection aptly titled "A Game of You". Like no other artist that I have seen in the past, Gaiman impresses yet again by taking a smaller character from his "Doll House" ...

5 Reason for 5 Stars
This piece of fiction is one of my favorites of any genre, not just graphic novels or comics. Sandman is compelling and original in its characters especially in the way Neil Gaiman weaves myth and traditions into an unfolding scene. There are very few books I can read or movies I watch were I can't either predict what will happen next or predict the end. With Sandman Preludes I couldn't predict ...

Amazing...
The book is over sized with with a removable box dust cover. The binding is gorgeous and cryptic. Truly inspired by Gaimans work. The pages are thick and colorful... filled with beautiful art and Gaimans amazing stories of his Endless characters.

Love the book.
Very informative and valuable information in lucid dreaming. I have several years expereince and just did not know those were lucid dreams. Interesting read.
The Sandman Vol. 6: Fables and Reflections

Neil Gaiman

, 1994
One of the best in the series!
To me, this is one of the best volumes in the series. It's a collection of eight separate stories of varying lengths, almost all with an historical connection. (To more or less real people, that is.) And there's no frame story for a change. "Three Septembers and a January" is a lovely piece about Emperor Norton, the deluded mascot of San Francisco for several decades in the 19th century, while ...

You may need to read this more than twice.
This book is profound in its simplicity, really. There are so many bottom lines, so different from what most churches have settled for today, to keep themselves "safe from the world's contamination." This book is so heavy that I dare say you may need to read it even more than twice because it is weighty. While the author and I have fundamental differences, there is not a doubt in my heart ...

Tastes of Perfection....
While it may sound like an overstatement, this book really does taste of perfection. The fact that Garcia began it as a poem which blossomed into a novel is apparent. The language is simply beautiful. Garcia tracks the del Pino women through their different experiences with exile, showing us both extremes (the pro-Castro, anti-American and the assimilated immigrant who hates communism and ...

...within stories, within stories, within stories...
Are Sandman fans such because they love the characters (Dream, Delirium, etc.) or because they love the writings of Neil Gaiman? I'd imagine that there are both types, and that most of us are somewhere on a continuum in-between. I mention this, because those of you who are closer to the "love Gaiman" pole, like myself, will doubtless love this collection of short stories, set in the Sandman ...

Beautiful
Sigh. I just finished reading this love story and am so inspired by the characters it has me itching to write my own story. This is probably one of the best, if not THE best, historical romance novel I've had the pleasure to read. I really am sad that it has ended. I've read so many romance novels in search of something great that would take my breath away and I think I just finished reading it. ...

Change Makes The Sandman Impossibly Better
I thought Season of Mists was my favorite The Sandman volume until I read Brief Lives. Brief Lives absolutely has it all--drama, action, comedy, romance, and philosophical ponderings. It focuses upon Morpheus rather directly--unlike other volumes where sometimes he exists within the stories only peripherally--as he helps his sister Delirium track down their brother known as Destruction. ...

Don't read the introduction!
A friend bought me the first Sandman book a few weeks ago, and upon finishing it, I immediately went out and bought the entire rest of the series. They are all wonderful, but this one is my favorite. It ties together all of the other story arcs - both the larger arcs and the stand-alone short issues - into a cohesive climax that is gorgeously written and drawn. One thing: DO NOT READ FRANK ...

A Fitting Finale for A Series of Serious Quality
First of all, The Wake is a gorgeous volume. Perhaps the best artwork of the series. It gives a fitting send-off for Morpheus, and for the series, as we get to revisit characters and themes, with just a touch of humor to lighten the otherwise bleak landscape. (Would you believe that Superman and Batman put in a cameo?--Well, if you're going to write for DC, how can you resist? :) While ...
Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming

Stephen Laberge

Techniques to Achieve Higher Consciousness
LaBerge begins where his first book, LUCID DREAMING, left off, by recapping exactly what lucid dreaming is: the mind realizing that it is dreaming while the body remains asleep, producing a far more vivid dreamscape, one that can be controlled with enough practice. The book is first and foremost a user's guide: how can we access that wonderfully altered state called the lucid dream? Drawing ...

Ultimate Dreaming
Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche presents Tibetan dream yoga in full detail, and most importantly, fully contextualizes its practice in the Dzogchen spiritual tradition. As I slowly worked my way through this illuminating book it increasingly dawned on me that this work was not only the clearest practical manual on dream yoga ever penned, but that it ranks as one of the most enlightening spiritual ...
