With The Art of Dreaming one can appreciate, as Carlos Castaneda did, how finding the way to alternate realities through the consciousness of dreams is the essence of the great sorcerers; how ancient, remarkable, and sometimes dangerous beings live among us; how don Juan' s training allows two or more people to dream and explore together; how using " the fourth gate" of dreams leads to a two-way hatch to other worlds. This book contains detailed descriptions of different dreaming techniques. The techniques in this book are geared for beginners and are meant to show, as well as guide, a dreamer through the four stages (or " Gates" ) of dreaming. After mastering passage through the four Gates, one will have better command of dreams, the potential of those dreams, and what they symbolize in our waking world.
