The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Game Add-Ons (DLC) Hints
Read "Waking Dreams."
1 of 3: The "Black Book: Waking Dreams" is the one you got in Miraak's temple, so you can read it in inventory anytime to continue with this quest (provided you're somewhere in Solstheim, that is). However, you may first want to visit other dragon lairs and have fun using the full version of the Bend Will shout to get dragons to let you ride them.
2 of 3: Unfortunately, the game designers were unwilling to completely rewrite the game engine to allow total freedom of movement while riding a dragon. You can only do a few things using a limited and clumsy interface, including fast traveling on the world map, locking onto targets and having your dragon attack them, and landing. (Note that the dragon will turn hostile to you again right after landing.)
3 of 3: TIP: Before you go any further with this quest, be sure to stock up on useful potions (especially Potions of Ultimate Healing), and do any side or miscellaneous quests that you haven't done already that yield useful artifacts. Also, do all five of the black book side quests to gain five special powers/abilities, and bring a magic staff that can summon a powerful creature (plus several filled soul gems to recharge it with).
