This book showed up in my life exactly when I needed it most.
If you open the cover it will take you on a journey of the mind and it will lead you as far as your subconscious mind will let you. At the end you will have extensive supply of food for thought and meditation techniques, which you can continuously improve.
The book has a combination of references to the metaphysical beliefs, personal experiences and scientific research in the area of psychology. It is written in a way that is easy to read yet the language is not oversimplified and presents a rather unique structured and grounded approach of the hard-to-grasp concepts.
This could be your missing piece of the puzzle that would enlighten you in many ways and provide answers to questions regarding astral projection, lucid dreaming and out of body experiences.

This book covers a variety of aspects on the topic of dreamwalking. A more focused look on the various areas that come into play such as learning about one’s dreams, how to take a more active roll in having more lucid dreams, remembering dreams, and more. She includes various methods to help one new to the topic as well as individuals more familiar with the subject matter. Also noted within this book are some of her personal experiences and a bit of history in relation to other developments in general about dreams as knowledge has grown over the years.
A very good read for anyone interested in dreams in general or on the topic of dreamwalking. The layout flows nicely from chapter to chapter in an order that allows the reader to progressively expand their individual understanding along with what’s presented in this book.

I agree with Kotori Distari’s review, but just wanted to add a bit more.
I enjoyed the episodes Belanger presented about her childhood and later events related to her dream-walking. I thought they made the book feel more personal. For those who are more interested in theory and techniques to practice, that’s in this book too.
I was annoyed that she said she couldn’t find much on dreamwalking on the Internet besides what she’d written herself. She must not have looked hard enough or maybe didn’t try looking for “dream walking”, “psychic dreams”, “shared dreams”, “shamanic dreams” or a whole range of other phrases that will eventually lead one to realize this activity has been going on from the beginning of human civilization. Native shamans dreamwalk as part of their spiritual work. Robert Moss (another author on extraordinary dream practices) mentions doing it too. Since Belanger says in this book that she attended an Association for the Study of Dreams conference, she should display a better knowledge of the researchers and practitioners of this ability, and she should have put some of this background into her end notes or bibliography.
(Edit note: Belanger does not say or imply that she attended an ASD conference. That was my mistake. Please see the comments to this review.)
That said, however, I think this book is invaluable for those who may be both dreamwalkers and vampires, because no other book I know of looks at dreamwalking from the perspective of a psychic vampire and gives advice not only on how to dreamwalk, but on how Not to dreamwalk when you think you might end up feeding on someone you don’t want to feed upon. This is a good book for anyone interested in this subject, but it’s especially important for some people who may already be practicing this ability, consciously or subconsciously.

Dreamwalking is a fascinating read. Not only is it a stand alone work, it continues the ideas from the Psychic Vampire Codex in greater detail, rich with stories from the authors past. Michelle Belanger certainly knows how to entertain, educate, and weaves an engrossing tale of personal experiences, history, and helpful exercises. A must have!

I enjoyed this book. It gave much information and presented different points of view for a seemingly one point of view subject. I appreciated the teaching aspect of this book, which was what I bought it for in the first place and was not disappointed.
