The Seven Gates of Dreaming
By Carlos Castaneda
The 1st gate:
Gain control over one's attention in dreams.
Look at your hands. Look at things.
This builds the ability to maintain intention.
The 2nd gate:
Wake up from the dream into another dream.
This builds the ability to change dreams at will.
The 3rd gate:
You are in a dream watching yourself sleep.
You must have this dream until it is no longer a dream.
The 4th gate:
Use the energy body as a means to travel to other places:
1. other places in this world
2. other places not in this world
3. other places that exist only in the intentions of others
The 5th gate:
Bridging.
The ability to use the dreaming body in everyday life, in the waking world.
The 6th gate:
Transporting.
The move the physical body to another location.
The 7th gate:
Transcending.
The step beyond this world.
