A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda

This is actually at the top of my reading list, thanks man!
Thanks for the Lucid Dreaming book as well. It was a perfect juncture on my recently initiated path of intention.

Cool paper, interesting outlook on dreams, first time I've seen it in this context.
Dreams own, Lucid dreaming... nice way to get out of jail, in jail ;-)

I understand that Castenada is fiction.... is this book still very useful for the dreamer to read? I plan to and am thankful the link.
Anyway...... anyone have tips on direct dream entry? I have to move eventually even if I count to "400 I am dreaming" first and spend an hour and a half doing it, dozing in and out of hypnagogia and near sleep states, still it's just tricky to get there when I go to bed.

i am a very experienced lucid dreamer. carlos techniques are not recommended as an introduction to lucid dreaming. just start out with an internet search and master basic dream recall and learn to get lucid. Then read carlos castanedas stuff as inspiration and for really wierd, bizarre and far out advanced techniques.
I can assure you , his stuff is experientially effective. Ive had my most profound and massive and terrifyingly intense dream using his methods.

i am not a novice to lucid dreaming....
i just have great difficulties falling asleep consciously (as would most people I wager)
it's the one barrier between me and excellently vivid lucid dreams. I've been doing it for several years, have had several hundred... and if I were bent on practicing could have them all night long I'm sure.

Practice makes perfect. I abandoned it for some years so I could wallow in self pity but I've recently picked it back up.

Being fully conscious (as in the normal awake state) while dreaming.
I didn't see Vanilla Sky.

I just recently Had a dream within a dream within a dream.
All the fumbling around within the dream made it become lucid at some point and I started to prove to myself that I was in the dream and free to do what I want, and did so. I was basically fucking with the archetecture of the natural dream. The last thing I did was laugh to myself, and then I woke up amazed.
I used to have some crazy dreams, but ever after using ayahuasca they are so incredible. Many apocalyptic dreams. Some of which are very incredible, (world being bathed in light from a psychedelic bomb, and after the inpact everyone is for the most part, scared by its cognative effects and are trying to shake the colors off their bodies. Im not the only person who thinks ayahuasca can permanently change your dreams.

You don't have to have control to become lucid. That is a further step in lucid dream work.
