O.K. So I found another hypnotherapist.

I spoke to two, and both of them have heard of Lucid Dreaming. The first actually spent a winter practicing lucid dreaming but she didn't seem very open-minded when I spoke to her on the phone. It was kinda like "this is how it works and thats the end." And anyway she wanted $120/hour

The other hypnotherapist had much more reasonable prices and although she had never used hypnosis to help a person improve dream recall and become lucid more often, she was quite interested and seemed genuinely excited about giving it a try.

My appointment is tonight at 6:30. I will post the details when I get home, and the results (if any) in the days to come.

By the way: I have been very careful to chose only hypnotherapists who are:

A) Certified Hypnotherapists (CHt)
and
B) A member of a professional organization that can verify their crudentials (eg. the National Guild of Hypnotherapists)

Just in case anyone else was thinking of trying this.
