Hello! I am new to this group and just wanted to share.
I have always been a Dreamer, waking up as a kid and telling my mom “I went to Egypt last night and laid between the sphinx’s paws!”, or anywhere else I wanted to visit.
Now trying to hone that more as an adult. Made my way through all of Castenedas books (some for the second or third time) and now I’m making my way through the woman sorcery books. I just finished Florinda Donner’s.
I love to illustrate my experiences. I call this one a “sorcerer’s dream”.
Also want to thank this group, and all those who make the amazing pictures and videos. They have helped me immensely.

Don't let the picture scare you, but I live with a witch trained by Florinda and Carlos.
Cholita. The third private student of Carlos, who "helps" out in here.
Jadey is the third. She actually does help.
But with Cholita, "help" always needs the quotation marks.
So you have 3 actual students of Carlos in here, from his private classes.
Cholita has some new books on egyptian burial magic she's become interested in.
Or at least, she wants me to think that, so she puts them out where I'm sure to notice them.
Every couple of months, she likes to study a new magical system.
And she likes everything. Doesn't matter how silly it is.
People wearing swami turbans with a big ruby in the middle of the forehead?
No problem. She likes it all.
I'd make fun of it to get her to "wise up", but the trouble is, she can make it all work through waking dreaming.
So you should keep in mind, you can do your sleeping dreaming, while awake.
For the last week, Cholita has managed to produce a sound in the middle of the night that's so loud, the whole house shakes.
It sounds like a gorilla is standing behind the wall of my bedroom, and has pounded a fist on it so hard, the plaster ought to have been smashed to rubble.
But after it wakes me up, I listen very carefully and there's no one walking away.
Which is impossible!
We have wooden floors.
No way someone can do that, and not be heard leaving.
It's just what Cholita does. No way to find out how.
She won't talk to me most of the time.
So I became more vigilant, and finally was "half" awake when she did it a couple of nights ago, quickly sitting up to turn around and listen more carefully.
I saw this:
Literally. The AI drew it, but that's pretty close to what I saw.
I wasn't afraid though.
I LOVE "free magic". Where I don't have to work so hard to see it.
Weirder stuff than that happens when you live with a real witch who's mastered waking dreaming.
She can lift me into the air with one finger.
I'm pretty sure what really happens is that she pulls me into a waking dream to do that, like in the books.
But it's still a bit scary and seems to be absolutely real.
And I certainly can't explain how she levitates small objects just by looking at them.
But that's in the books too.
Does Cholita know what she’s doing when she’s doing magic, or is it her illness (schizophrenia) that’s making her do magic?
I think you’ve touched on this topic before.
Yeah that comment above you reminded me of when my bestie trips over from manic into psychotic. It's scary but mostly harmless.
How can I find out, when she won't talk to me?
If I ask her a question, she just parrots the question back to me as I speak it. If I try to insist, she storms out of whatever room we're in, slamming the door on the way out.
However, once time I was explaining to her about moving objects by merely looking at them, a claim from Art of Dreaming, and she got annoyed, looked down at herr empty dim sum plate, and said, "Like this???"
And the plate jumped up into the air an inch.
I freaked out and said something like, "YES!!! Like that! How did you..."
And she glared down at the little plate like she was angry, causing it to slide on the table a couple of inches to the right.
A few seconds later she decided she was tired of that, and slid it another 4 inches.
The waitress came by and picked it up, as if it were obvious she was done with it, since she'd moved it to the end of the table.
So does she know....?
I have no idea.
Keep in mind, we'd spent 2 hours earlier in the day, trying to deposit a check she got, into the ATM.
She failed to be able to deposit it inside the bank at the counter, twice. The teller's "pink slip" made her paranoid, so she left before she could deposit it that way.t
Commenting, she wasn't going to let anyone "pink slip her".
not bad
