      For castaneda fans

      Im just curious, for anyone who is rather proficient at lucid dreaming, castaneda talks in the art of dreaming about 4 of th 7 gates of dreaming and one of them is being able to dream yourself to concrete places in this world, ie. dream of seeing yourself in bed

      im curious if anyone has had an experience like this, i have not ever done this although i have astral projected several times (i think its essentially the same thing)

      ne way
      love and light
      Why?

      I've seen myself in bed in dreams. It's just a dream of... seeing yourself in a bed.

      Castande talks about 2 different scenarios:
      1. A normal dream in which you see your self sleeping - worthless
      2. A special state in which you see your physical body sleeping in the real world - invaluable!

      right. so no chance that you might see youself in bed precisely because thats what you want to see.

      That's not quite right. CC never wrote that bit about "seeing yourself in bed." He wrote that DJ said about "seeing yourself asleep" which is not necessarily the same thing. No mention of any bed. You may remember that DJ's preferred method of sleeping-for-dreaming was sitting upright in an armchair.

      Also, don't fall into the trap of thinking that you will be some distance from your sleeping body if and when it ever happens to you. You might be only a few centimetres away.. you know.. up close and personal.
