Hope I can express this well. The PC has blocked me while my thoughts fade.
Anyhow, after studying all the Castaneda books, I find that my Dreams have changed.
Actually, I think that it is my Attention to the nature of the events and phases of sleep that has changed.
There is an area of conciousness between waking and sleeping that don Juan described, and I have found visions there.
Recently , as I moved to sleep, I focused on the images passing by. I found myself in a village area, faces were vague, memory now distant. Yet, I was suddenly confronted by bright lights , across a body of water; city lights, which I identified as somewhere in Asia.
In an actual dream,on another day, I found myself in an old multi-storey house. The only familiar item was my mini Pomeranian cavorting about. At work , apparently. Someone I was with wanted coffee, and so did I. The request was denied by some kind of military official.
My point here is that these, and other visions, have no relation to my experience, and must be of the Assemblage Point: other realities.
I keep discovering , in literature, various references to the Nagual lessons of Castaneda. ie: energy as the force of life (hell, physics and even biology have discovered this); Dreaming as a door to other worlds.
I just read the 'Poltergeist' paperback. A standard ghost story I know, yet, some descirptions of the medium, Tangina, use terms right out of Castaneda. Maybe Tobe Hooper & Spielberg have read it.
I wanted to say so much more here, but events have slowed me.
My first dream was a violent shocker!
More , laterHawkeye and Crow
