Dreaming practice book

Dreaming u/Michail_D 2020-09-10 08:31 UTC 3 points

There were questions about my experience, etc. so I'm making this topic.

My book about dreaming practice. Understanding and data for 2003-2010. I designed it for 2012. Here is the knowledge and experience this period.

Now many things have been reworked, rethought and many new things have been added. Then it was an original view and technology, today it is already a methodology. Therefore, the book for acquaintance with the topic is a good fit. The basic principles have not changed (but deepened and expanded). Today it is much better, but so at the stage of material processing...

Thanks

Especially for some I say: the book has always been for free and you do not need to pay a cent for it (did you hear?) :))) The book is about the original technique, my experience and view. It's about dreaming, which exactly works in basic principles for any person. It's not about "how to understand books Castaneda correctly" (did you hear?) :)))

I hear. I hear...

And for the dreaming deficient it could be a valued and useful toolbox.

Many paths for many people.

I hear. I hear...

Nope! :))) This is not about you.

And for the dreaming deficient it could be a valued aid.

I hope so. There are proven things.

Provided they can read Russian (?). Translation?

u/Michail_D 1 points 2020-09-10 13:37

Yes, this is a problem, but the translation will catch the general meaning (I hope).

And one more thing. My experiences at each point are typical, not unique. The same experiments are confirmed by other people according to the statistics of hundreds people.

Yeah, this can help. When I was practicing sleeping dreaming, reading this kind of book helped me a lot. Maybe because it just kept me motivated, thinking about it the whole day. Also brought me new ideas to try.

As we say here there many are paths for learning sorcery. Lucid dreaming is one of them, and it is so damn interesting! But it is so slow too. In 7 years, despite I had a lot of cool experiences, the best I could do was: 1 lucid dream/OBE per week. It was nice. But not enough for learning sorcery.

If you dont have enough energy, you will get stuck.

Thats the advantage of the darkroom. Fast and consistent progress. Yersterday I reached heightened awareness for a few moments... and damn... what a wonderful world.

If you dont have enough energy, you will get stuck.

Not certainly in that way. For lucid dreaming, the issue of energy is not particularly important. For an out-of-body experience for more, yes. Aside from energy - we needed methodology, then practice has structure and understanding, which means results.

For example, I have no ordinary dreams, everything has turned into vivid and stable dreams. Lucid dreaming occurs on its own, if I wish, I can have lucid dreaming experiences every day without much try.

But with the out-of-body experience, it is harder. Because here the energy body opens up fully for the first time.

Is there an english version? Even just auto-translation would be nice (those translators became rather good lately).

u/Michail_D 1 points 2020-09-14 12:43

There is no English version. Auto-translation only :( Now there are applications that translate not badly.

The Sorcery Lineage of Don Juan Matus & Carlos Castaneda

The purpose of this subreddit is to aid in the pragmatic application of the works of Carlos Castaneda, Florinda Donner, Taisha Abelar, & Carol Tiggs to how we experience existence. Core topics include: sorcery (a.k.a. the mastery of intent), awareness, & non-ordinary reality (magic). Here, you can: learn ABOUT sorcery, what has and has not worked over thousands of years, decide to empirically embark on your own "definitive journey," and altruistically document your challenges and discoveries.

r/castaneda Rules

Accounts newer than 10 days old cannot comment, and must reach 21 days before posting is allowed.

4 commenting upvotes (in any subreddit) are also required in order to post after those 21 days.
Do your best to tag new posts with a relevant Flair category. Otherwise, select General Knowledge.
Please be familiar with the terminology used in here before posting. See the Wiki's Terminology page

Astral Projection is the most problematic term, along with OBE. Please use Dreaming Double, or Dreaming Body instead.
Any post that diverts away from the implied purpose of this sub, will be marked SPOILER or removed.

The stated purpose of this subreddit is to aid in restoring the reputation of Carlos Castaneda and the knowledge he imparted, by pragmatically applying that knowledge IN PRACTICE. This means that we are sticking to what really works, as proven by direct experience by long-practicing members.
No low effort posting, pretending, or wasting people's time.

Especially problematic posts, ex. questions that could be answered by either practicing or by reading more posts or from the books, will be removed and users who make similar repeated posts will be banned for a minimum of 3 months. Pretend sorcery which does not emphasize silence, and is based only on thinking and mood, will not be tolerated.
Self-centered promotion, jockeying for a "top-dog" position, & grandstanding are bannable behaviors.

Persons promoting behavior over effort to get silent and the necessity to move the assemblage point, and who won't give up that activity, are likely to be banned for a minimum of ONE YEAR.
Those being overly disruptive will be temporarily or permanently banned, at the mods discretion.

This is a blanket rule, meant to give mods a more broadly applicable option for a ban or content removal. Banned users still have access to the subreddit, wiki, and all its resources (except the group chat).
Please report content in violation of any of this subreddit's rules to the mods to be evaluated.

This will make it publicly unviewable until it can be assessed.
