It makes sense to me.
When I have begun to have ''Strange dreams'' I didn't know what they were, how to declare them. I knew they weren't just dreams.
For a long time I was afraid of them, considering them as a spooky, conscious nightmares..
After short period I run into 'Tales of power' and I got long wonted answers, and not only that, but I also got a confirmation of some ideas and opinions that I had.
Reading 'Art of dreaming' was true experience for me, because it gave me a detailed explanation of what was going on to me when I laid in my bed and fell asleep.
Some people say that few of his books are true and last couple of them are false, boring, overreacting...
I don't know, I haven't experienced all that Castaneda did, and I'm not the one that should or could criticize him, but in each of his books I would find at least a tiny peace, situation that happened to me and I didn't know where to place that situation till then...
Any way, to me Castaneda was quite a discovery. And as you say Wolf, since I didn't have anyone to show me how to deal with those dreams, Castaneda and Don Juan were all I had left. So I tried to do what they were saying and it helped .
