The Art of Dreaming
Oct / 30 / 2009 / 10:50
by Carlos Castaneda, 1993In bestsellers like A Separate Reality and Journey to Ixtlan, Castaneda recounted his purported adventures with Mexican Yaqui Indian sorcerer don Juan Matus. Here he tells how, under don Juan's tutelage, he gained control over his dreams and used dreaming as a launching pad to a pervasive but unseen realm of ancestral spiritual forces. He goes through tunnels, enters into the consciousness of trees, meets scouts, emissaries and form-changing blobs of energy.
Aided by don Juan's companions and fellow apprentices, Castaneda penetrates a realm of "inorganic beings" who set traps for him and attack him, as if to illustrate don Juan's teaching that consciousness is compelled to grow through life-or-death confrontations.
Castaneda's quest offers a tantalizing glimpse of alternate worlds beyond the parameters of mundane "reality".
