Living Inside Your Dreams Background of this Publication

By Robert Zucker

This edition on dream consciousness, or astral projection, was originally written in 1976 as part of a three-year study program while attending college. Now, after 30 years it is made publically available.

This is one of three manuscripts that were produced for college credit in five different University departments (psychology, sociology, anthropology, Judaic studies and journalism) from 1975-77. Since then, I have refined the material and added more.

This edition is called "Twilight of Consciousness: The Dweller on the Threshold." My intention is to publish the entire contents and make it available through this site. The manuscript contains a broad range of information related to sleep, dreaming, astral projection, consciousness and self-awareness.

Comments from letters of recommendation by some of the professors who sponsored my independent study in parapsychology:

Last semester, Robert E. Zueker, Senior in the College of Liberal Arts, counseled with me concerning an ambitious research project covering five disciplines. The nature of the study required a coordinated approach involving 15 units of independent study. After he received the approval of four other departments - Anthropology, Journalism, Psychology and Sociology, I agreed to sponsor the project. The final manuscript of more than 200 pages of text and bibliography involves considerable research and is a fine summary of the currently available literature in the field of Hermetics.

During this past semester, Mr. Zucker has succeeded through independent study in producing a scholarly review of unusual scope. His written product is a bit fragmentary in its present form (since he concentrated primarily on amassing information in the areas that he surveyed), but with a bit more in the way of synthesizing it could be turned into a very publishable book. Without question, Mr. Zucker has learned more by devoting his semester to this endeavor than he would have by a semester of regular coursework.

Mr. Robert Zucker has asked me to write a letter of reference in his behalf. I have known Bob for a little over a year now. He approached me with a plan to take an entire semester for individual study and writing. The time was to be provided by four departments. I was very sceptical at first as anyone would be after ten years of U/A students. However, the semester produced a 225 page, well researched, competently written book. Not a term paper but a genuine book length manuscript which I believe. has some real possibilties for publication. Since that time, Mr. Zucker has continued his research into hermetics and has elaborated and polished the original manuscript. Mr. Zucker is a polished researcher who can organize himself and his work and get the results down in good prose without supervision.
