A warrior seeks power, and one of the avenues to power is dreaming . What you call dreams are real for a warrior.
You must understand that a warrior is not a fool. A warrior is an immaculate hunter who hunts power; he's not drunk, or
crazed, and he has neither the time nor the disposition to bluff, or to lie to himself, or to make a wrong move. The stakes
are too high for that. The stakes are his trimmed orderly life which he has taken so long to tighten and perfect. He is not
going to throw that away by making some stupid miscalculation, by taking something for being something else.
Dreaming is real for a warrior because in it he can act deliberately, he can choose and reject, he can select from a
variety of items those which lead to power, and then he can manipulate them and use them, while in an ordinary dream he
cannot act deliberately.
In dreaming you have power; you can change things; you may find out countless concealed facts; you can control
whatever you want. You're going to learn how to make yourself accessible to power.
Power is something a warrior deals with. At first it's an incredible, far-fetched affair; it is hard to even think about it.
Then power becomes a serious matter; one may not have it, or one may not even fully realize that it exists, yet one knows
that something is there, something which was not noticeable before. Next power is manifested as something uncontrollable
that comes to oneself. It is not possible for me to say how it comes or what it really is. It is nothing and yet it makes
marvels appear before your very eyes. And finally power is something in oneself, something that controls one's acts and
yet obeys one's command. Lone Wolf
