some thoughts on the second gate
#1
The second gate is the ability to change dreams at will.
Use intent. Pick a place you would like to go beforehand and transport yourself there in dreaming. Go to another place in the dream by gazing at it. Of course the place you pick is an arbitrary thing, because the drill of changing dreams is really preparation to visit other worlds or realms.
The first time i Used the second gate I felt the awareness of danger. I also felt i wanted to be in a safe place. Sure enough i wound up in a safe place.
The second time I voiced my intent to follow an animal. It was a white Owl. It was flying away and i suddenly knew that i should follow it. I voiced my intent to follow it and i was led to a VERY VIVID dream in which i met a friend of mine i knew from waking life.
Am i correct in assuming that voicing ones intent to follow animals as an alternate drill for the second gate?
What are some of the animals that show up in my dreams? Say for instance if I saw a wolf, and recognised it as a sign for Lonewolf. Would i be able to follow it? Do each of us have these animals as a gateway into eachothers dreams?

That we are the explorers of such gates means we are setting the standards of new seers.
Some attach such symbols to their doubles as I admit to doing.
To follow a wolf would lead from here to me OR wolves are known as teachers in the dreaming worlds.

Just to make things clearer how does that fit in what Don Juan taught about for dreaming when referring to animals.

Animals are part of us, we are animals, animals and us both dream. How we dream is very similar, being that we share the world with animals. When we dream we can go to real places, set up our own created places, and interact in with other dreamers.
To be able to dream with your dog is a very real possibility as an example.
Of course wolves are sparse and to actually dream with a living wolf would be a rare event.
Still it can and is done for wolves are powerful dreaming animals.
Don Juan taught that we can change our asemblage point to the place of a particular animal,thus we can become that animal in dreaming and in the nagual world.
If my intent is to link with the assemblage point of that of a wolf then if I am successful I could be seen as a wolf while in this configuration during dreaming and in the nagual world.
That is the connection I speak of and hope that makes it cleaer.
How it relates to Don Juan? Probaly my answer to that would be his teachings of intent and of the assemblage point Aranno. Of course these are my beliefs and intents and maybe not yours are others. As always I want to add that I believe we are all explorers of this new world we learned from Don Juan and the Tenant and what we learn is our own personal experience and others may have totally different results.

A long time ago I had a wolf dog that I loved like a child. Someone poisoned her and I grieved as if I'd lost a child. Not long after she died I felt her body merging with mine, I clearly felt like wagging my tail and itching fleas. It was very foreign feeling. But I got the sensation that she would be with me for life, guarding my situations and acting as an ally.

We can be more...although simple in description the heart and spirit of the universe is there for the taking. To merge and be part of the unseen connection energies share is a final destination.

Hi Eilias and Arrano
As for DJ it is a matter of Spirit. I don't recall much reference to this, but if we look to Native Indian Shamanism there is a lot!
The White Owl is for some a symbol of the most Sacret spirit of the Owl 'people' - As for what the owl symbolize/is it for Eilias to find out.
Its always a personal relationship to the Spirit!
I See it as a very fortunatly approach from Spirit to Eilias.

The funny thing about the dream was this: When i met my friend in the dream, she had a blurry photograph of a white owl. I recognised that as a dreamsign to become Lucid again.
My friend is also a photographer. She had told me of dreams before where she takes a picture of something in the dream and it comes up blurry!
