A remarkably comprehensive insight into OBE & lucid dreaming
This is a really fascinating account of adventures in other dimensions.At first it seems a little less structured than Robert Monroe's classic "Journeys Out Of The Body" - as the action gets going so early on in the book. However, it soon follows a similar pattern, with the various tales not following in chronological order, a style that works well as the overall picture builds.The main difference between Ziewe's story and Monroe's, is that the former soon found he was able to access his states from sleep / via dreaming, rather than only through "out-of-body" detachment. He was also able to reach his various destinations via meditation. The interesting thing here is the grouping together of lucid dreaming with out-of-body excursions. My own feeling is that a "locale 1" OBE (as Monroe called it) - where you visit our current earth in an ethereal body, is indeed the traditional OBE, whereas "locale 2" and above are "astral" travellings, as are fully lucid dreams - different dimensions where space-time isn't the same as here.Ziewe's work is fascinating; like Monroe he is very down-to-earth, so however incredible his adventures (and they ARE incredible!), you can always sense that he really experienced these other worlds, not some deep, hallucinatory dream.Another intriguing aspect is that when you reach later chapters, it becomes very clear that Ziewe has experienced (in as far as we can define it) enlightenment. His descriptions of this are remarkably similar to those of Eckhart Tolle's opening chapter of The Power Of Now, and this raises interesting comparisons. Tolle himself describes lucid dreams as "fascinating but not liberating", whereas Ziewe's experiences end up at the same point as Tolle's but via such dreams. Having experienced numerous strange experiences (but not enlightenment) myself, I suggest that it IS possible to reach enlightenment via OBE and lucid dreaming, but only if one is so fully awake that they encounter the higher dimensions, and with the same wakefulness as when awake in the earthly sense.The only fault in this book is the appalling proof-reading (or lack of!) - but that doesn't diminish a thoroughly inspiring and utterly absorbing read.

very interesting
I came to know Jurgen Ziewe on YouTube and so, bought his first book. I am impressed (on YouTube, as well as in print) with his excellent command of English, which is not his first language. His artwork (also on YouTube) is incredible as well. He is obviously a very intelligent and resourceful man. I am about half way through the book. It is clearly written and very interesting. I will probably buy another of his. The actual book itself is bigger than the average paperback book and 230 pages of text. The print is a reasonable size. The overall quality is good. I'm pleased with my purchase.

Best book of its kind I've ever read
I recently finished this fascinating book and only wish that he had others on the same theme to offer. Personally I felt it more interesting than Monroe and books on astral travel and quite believable in an incredible kind of way and I easily journeyed with him on his wondrous adventures in other dimensions which frequently began with a lucid dream although another reviewer thought it all lucid dreaming. I also liked his open attitude to the experience and indications of the influence of the late spiritual speaker Jiddu Krishnamurti. Highly recommended for astral travel or lucid dream enthusiasts.

Buy It Together With The Follow Up, Vistas Of Infinity And Get The Full Journey...
A very interesting work but I actually prefer the just published follow up, Vistas Of Infinity as it expands more about where the deceased go to, the nature of their worlds etc. Still this is very interesting and probably laid the groundwork for me to enjoy the more recent book and I shall delve back into this. Its an incredible account of incredible realities for sure. To be honest I would really recommend buying both together as they so closely connect.Is it all real, all these dimensions?? well I think the answer is definitely maybe and even hard nosed, materialist science is having to begrudgingly alter its position on these ideas.

Very inspirational book.
"Inspiring" is an understatement for this book, it is quite an uplifting and concise description of worlds yet unseen (or unremembered), reading it sparks a driving motivation for any reader to strive for their own experiences which other books do not bring. I enjoyed the fact that the author didn't waste time trying to convince us of the legitimacy of his claims; for those of us already knowledgeable in such matters it can be tedious to read an entire book wherein the author describes in acute detail how they witnessed and verified insignificant events via ESP. This book does not do that, thankfully, and instead provides us with glittering descriptions and very accurate observations of higher-dimensional mechanics. The author offers descriptions and analysis with an absence of heavy bias and sticks to "telling it like it is". The down-to-earth human approach is what makes this book unique among its genre, no cold and limiting scientific catagorization and no religious or New Age mystical fuzz. The author keeps his style relatable and realistic throughout the book, even in the midst of such fantastical anecdotes. There are quite a few printing errors but nothing that will obscure meanings. If you are looking for techniques on how to achieve extra-dimensional travel then this is not the book you need, but by all means read it if you're aspiring to be a traveler as you won't find any better fountain of inspiration and encouragement.

Sublime.
Mind blowing. A truly life changing book. I have read dozens of books on 'new age' subjects. This stands out as one of the very best. Jurgen writes about his decades of OBE experiences. Very descriptive, Jurgen meets deceased loved ones, friends and visits numerous dimensions and even other planets. An incredible book. This book will change your perspective of the world and indeed your life. The world be a much better place if this was essential reading in Schools through out the world.
