According to the shamans of don Juan Matus's lineage, the second gate of dreaming was the name given to the possibility of sentient beings to move from dream to dream to dream. For those shamans, this was a shared endeavor, practiced ardently in the first attention, or the realm of everyday life-signaling the opportunity to expand one's attention beyond the scope of one's individual dream into dreaming with others. Don Juan's students said this shift in emphasis from Me to We forms the basis of a community, in which a perceptual shift in one member of the community can initiate a shift in the whole community. Shamans consider this adaptability to be innate in human beings, as it is among other living communities, such as the solar system, groves of trees, bands of coyotes, groups of lizards, migrating birds, and industrious insects.
