I had a dream experience and need help interpreting it.
In early autumn 1999, I read the book “The Art of Dreaming” for the first time. Two
or three weeks before Halloween, I wondered whether that world could truly exist,
and I set the intention to reach it by stating that wish aloud. The following night, I
had a dream in which my nagual was wandering across a snow-covered mountain
peak in winter and encountered a woman who looked like a school friend while
simultaneously being my neighbor. My nagual approached the woman and asked,
"Can you take me to the inorganic world?" The woman then took my nagual by the
left hand and led him to the highest point of the peak, where an abyss lay before
them. Ten meters below, there was a snow-covered ledge measuring five meters in
width and five meters in length. Hand in hand, the woman and my nagual jumped
from the mountain peak down onto the ledge, sinking into the snow up to their waists.
Afterward, the woman looked at my nagual with an inquiring expression and
shrugged her shoulders.
Afterwards, the woman climbed back to the summit on her side of the mountain, and
my nagual on his, and they stood in the same spot as before. The woman took my
nagual’s left hand again and said to him, "Relax, or it won't work!" Once more, they
leapt from the summit and plunged into the snow. This time, however, my nagual did
not get stuck in the snow but glided right through it. As the snow swept over his eyes,
his perception shifted, and my nagual suddenly found himself in a tunnel, however
alone. There, he heard a laughing male voice and asked, "Are there many like me
who reach this realm?" The voice replied, "Yes, but only special ones."
After that dream, my nagual knew how to enter that world, and I was convinced that
the woman was a scout from that realm. From that point on, while dreaming, my
nagual would grab people who looked like friends or neighbors, spin around with
them, and - by stating his intent aloud - intended to enter that world. This method,
too, proved successful. However, after twenty-six years, doubts arose, and I began to
question everything: Was the woman a scout, the energy body of a sorceress, or
something else? And what was the significance of the snow-capped mountain and the
technique itself? Traveling to the inorganic world together with the energy body of a
sorceress - without utilizing inorganic energy or a scout - would be something new
and unknown to both female and male sorcerers. For the ancient sorcerers, springs
and caves held special significance and were linked to the inorganic world, yet no one
would expect the entrance to that realm to be found on a mountain peak! My nagual,
however, never experienced the method described by Carlos Castaneda - that of
looking for strange phenomena while dreaming (such as flying fish or iridium
walking sticks) that transform into sizzling energy which one can then follow.
I personally question the claim that today there is no longer any way for men to enter
that realm, and I wish to draw attention to this topic.
Questions demanding answers
Why did the woman show my nagual this technique, and what was her intention?
Must I learn to keep this knowledge to myself, or am I permitted to pass it on?
Is there a universal key for male sorcerers that leads to this realm, and do women
hold this key in their hands?
The timing is right—it is October, and the odds are fifty-fifty: make or break?
