He suggested that I should try dreaming while I took a nap during the daytime and find out if I

"On this hilltop here, for instance, you now have a specific bush that you must observe until it has a place in your memory. You can come back here while dreaming simply by recalling that bush, or by recalling this rock where we are sitting, or by recalling any other thing here. It is easier to travel in dreaming when you can focus on a place of power, such as this one. But if you don't want to come here you may use any other place. Perhaps the school where you go is a place of power for you. Use it. Focus your attention on any object there and then find it in dreaming.
"From the specific object you recall, you must go back to your hands and then to another object and so on.
"But now you must focus your attention on everything that exists on this hilltop, because this is the most important place of your life."
