To me Carlos was an enigma but yet he was privy to information I could use. While reading his books I would think...yes I do that or yes I have seen this..or yes this was what I dreamed.
Through his related events I saw things that I could relate too.
Don Juan became my teacher as he became Carlos's teacher if that makes any sense?
Castaneda was a sorceror and a student of the toltec presentation of nagualism.

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 .

I was a miserable 14 year old, the catholic religion shoved down my throat to the point of severe beatings from my Guardians and the nuns. But my spirit would not be daunted even on the pain of death. So one day, in total misery I went to a book store to look for something that could help me out and CC's book fell on my bigh toes, bursting it open.
From reading the first few lines of Castaneda's books, I was dreaming being a part of don Juan's group of warriors. This went on for 7 years till age 21.
To be continued....

Yes ... dreams can give one very special energy if they can be recapped.
There are dreams that often will provide answers to all our questions.

Of course, remember that dreaming has many catagories. There are great differences in our dreaming and some accomplish more than even they can believe. Its a very diifcukt thing for me to do as I am a stalker and not much of a dreamer. There are dreams that we can use though and those dreams can show us much.
Intending the assemblage point to the place of dreaming will help and where this type of sorcery really begins.
Take a ring into your dreaming and only wear it when sleeping and when you want to recapp. Silver has a great capicity to store our dreaming energies.
When putting on the ring try and be in a place where you can relax and seek to move your ap.
