Probably the weirdest dreams I ever had last night. I would wake up in my dream in my bed thinking I was awake but still dreaming, I would fly outside the building then I would be terrified by the vibe, wake up again but again it was a dream, this happened at least ten times and the last time it happened there was a fluffy white ball Hunting me inside the room, I've never seen anything like that. I was enjoying everything but this little fluffy ball terrified me and then I woke up. Any clue what this fluffy white scary ball was ? Inorganic being? Something else? Anyone ever seen anything like that?

Probably an IOB (inorganic being).
But it could also have been your own double, materializing in that form.
Normally I'd tell someone that sleeping dreams are NOT a path to sorcery knowledge, and never were.
Not even in the books.
That's just made up by our lazy Castaneda community. They actually go around interviewing each other on Youtube, playing it up as someone "skilled" in Castaneda dreaming, when they've never done that even a tiny bit, in their entire life.
Thank goodness Cleargreen still has enough common sense not to engage in that pretend form of magic.
But the Russian chapter doesn't. They're happy to pretend their dreaming.
However, this one stands out as your double acting up.
Those are worth noticing, but only if you were doing a technique which triggered it.
Otherwise there's no gain from sleeping dreams.
Only from repeatable stuff, which you can use to see if your sorcery efforts are working.
So the actual value of some supernatural event, is whether you can use that to do it again and again, and as often as possible.
It helps you perfect the other instructions you need to follow, to learn sorcery. For instance, removing the internal dialogue.
Real magic is ideal, for seeing if you are getting better at internal silence.
Carlos would listen to dreams told to him by students only long enough to see what kind they were, and then he'd cut people off halfway through a sentence if he saw it was just a normal dream they thought was important. Meaning, they wanted attention from others over it.
He didn't even tolerate a half a sentence more than he needed to tell if it was real or just obsession with "self".
As if the other half of a bad sentence, would harm his audience.
"Counter intent".
Apparently sleeping dreams can be triggered by the awareness of our tonal body, which is stored in the "pouches".
Some of your energy body (the dreamer) gets too close to the physical body, and picks up some of it's obsessions. Obsessions of the tonal awareness stuck in that part of the body.
In what Carlos sometimes referred to as "planets".
That's likely because you can actually visit those, as planets of a sort. Complete worlds perhaps.
Complete worlds with a bizarre "theme" going on.
One such planet is the planet of the liver. One might suppose that our tonal awareness trapped in the liver, is very concerned with the details of things. Due to how the liver has to extract foreign stuff from our blood stream.
If Carlos detected that someone's dream was coming from their liver, he'd cut them off before they could finish their account.
We don't have anyone yet powerful enough to explore the "planets" of the body.
Darn...
Another thing which needs verifying.
Some things Carlos and the witches said at lectures, which got recorded as notes we now retain, are so weird they make Carlos look bad.
So it's good to "demystify" them and point out they were literally true.
Even if they seem to contradict people's understanding of other topics.
Sorcery allows for contradictory explanations.
They simply call them "energetic facts", and don't worry that it might contradict another "energetic fact" when you use your internal dialogue to analyze them.
Happened to me actually 4 days ago. It's called false awakenings.
It happened 5 times in a row. All the times I woke up in my bed paralyzed. Got up, saw something outlandish. Woke up paralyzed again. And that's 5 times until I had a chance to wake up in the real world.
Did you also feel a sort of stiffness at the start of every false awakening?
Did you also have a sexual dream where clearly a IOB was trying to "interact" with you before these took place?
I am pretty sure this is a weird energetic interaction with IOBs. That's how they get you stuck in their world. By constructing these webs of energy. You even feel like waking up is like trying to get out of a web. This isn't an "evil" construct, it's just a way that
IOBs interact with humans. I call it layered dreaming.
It's basically typical old seer energetic shenanigans.
That btw the dreaming technique that the death defier though Carlos. "The twin position". A topic that's very misunderstood by most in the Castaneda community.
The craziest part is this can be done awake. If you are able to be 2 places at once, which is very hard to get to be requires near perfect silence. You can move your double at the same time as your body, and layer them on top of each other, infinitly many times.
Since the double is just energy, your essentially "charging" yourself with double energy. After that the amount of weird shenanigans you can do is limitless, but it's easy to get yourself stuck in sideways positions doing that. You can even get stuck in a IOB version of reality, but that so unlikely to happen.
I have cycles like that before. It first happened when I became skilled at waking on command; a fake-awake is a nice parry
I've been trying to integrate a reality check when I wake just to ensure. Once that's a habit, the fake-wakes will no longer work
I used the light switch for that. If it didn't work I know I'm still there.
I can relate to this. My IOB taught me to overcome my fear. I got frustrated not waking up and 'attacked' it. It took 3/4 years to come back, but a lot friendlier.
