The development of dream attention enabled the magicians of don Juan's lineage to systematize their knowledge of dreams. They found that most of their dreams were inspired by images related to the world of everyday life. However, there were dreams that did not fit into the classification they had developed. The latter represented states of heightened awareness, in which elements of the dream were not just images, but some kind of energy-generating events. In these dreams, the shamans could see energy as it flowed in the universe.
From the shamans' point of view, the visions of such places before their eyes were too fleeting, too erratic, to be of any practical use. The problem, they believed, was that they could not keep their assembly points in the position to which they shifted in the dream for any significant length of time. Attempts to cope with the resulting difficulties led to the creation of another magical art, the art of stalking.
The art of stalking is to intentionally shift the assemblage point from its normal position, while the art of stalking allows you to voluntarily hold it in a new position. According to don Juan's accounts, some ancient magicians never returned from their journeys. In other words, they chose to remain there - wherever that "there" was.
- When ancient magicians studied the luminous spheres of human beings," Don Juan once told me, "they found over six hundred special points on them. Moving the assembly point to each of these positions allowed it to assemble a new, completely real world. If a practitioner were able to fix the assembly point in any one of these six hundred positions, he or she would enter an amazing, completely unfamiliar world.
- But where are these 600 other worlds, Don Juan? - I asked.
- The only possible answer to your question is incomprehensible to the mind, he answered laughing. - The answer is the essence of magic and, at the same time, is meaningless to the common mind. Those six hundred worlds are contained within the assemblage point position. It takes an incalculable amount of energy to get a real confirmation of that. And we have that energy. What we lack is the ability or self-control to use it.
I would add: hardly anything could be as meaningless and at the same time more true than these statements.

Gate of Dreams
"There are seven gates," Don Juan told me in reply. - A dreamer must open them - all seven of them, one at a time. Now you are standing before the first gate. n if you intend to master the art of dreaming, you will have to open them.The first gate
Approaching the 'first gate':"The first gate is a special threshold. The threshold is reached through the awareness of the special sensation that arises before one falls into deep sleep", said Don Juan, "This sensation is akin to the feeling of pleasant heaviness that prevents us from opening our eyes. We reach the gate at the very moment when we realise that we are falling asleep, floating in darkness and a feeling of heaviness."
"- When the dreamer is prompted to find a certain object in the dream, it is a trick. the true aim, however, is to realise the moment of falling asleep."
"- We reach the first gate when we become aware of the moment of falling asleep or when we see a fantastically real dream. Once we have reached them, we need to pass through them, gaining the ability to retain the image of any object present in the contents of our dreams. "
Passing through the 'first gate'
"I will now tell you again what you should do in a dream in order to pass through the first gate of the dream. Focus your gaze on something that you choose as your point of reference. Then shift your gaze to other objects, looking at them for a moment, immediately returning to your reference point. Remember: if you only cast short glances, the images don't shift."
"But always, as soon as the images start to shift and you feel yourself losing control, immediately return to the reference point and start again."
The second gate
Approaching the 'second gate':"The second gate of dreaming is achieved when you 'wake up' from one dream in another dream. You can have as many parallel dreams as you want. The main thing is to control them all equally and 'wake up' in one of them and not in our world of the known."
Passing through the "second gate":
"...there are two correct ways of overcoming the second gate of the dream.
The first is to wake up in another dream, that is, to see in the dream that you are dreaming and in the dream to see that you are waking up.
The second is to use dream objects to switch to another dream."
"After going through the first and second gate of dreaming, the dreamer reaches an energy level where they start having visions or hearing voices. In fact, it is not many voices, but only one. The magicians call it the voice of the emissary in the dream."
"...The second gate of dreaming is reached and crossed only when the dreamer learns to find and use a different type of energy - that of the emissary.
- Why, then, is the idea of changing dreams given at all?
- Waking up in another dream or changing dreams is an exercise bequeathed to us by the ancient magicians to train the dreamer's ability to detect and use the lurkers."
The third gate
Approaching the 'third gate':"You reach the third gate of dreaming when you find yourself looking at another sleeping person in a dream. n when that other person turns out to be you," Don Juan said.
"- Remember, you must be in your real room and see your real body. If you are not, you are just dreaming an ordinary dream. You can make sure of that by observing details in it that are not present in ordinary life, or by changing it as you see fit."
"- From everyday experience dreamers know," he continued, "that if the energy body is formed, a person sees energy every time he looks at some object in the real world. If he sees the energy of an object in a dream, he can thereby know that he is in the real world, however distorted the world may seem to his attention in the dream. If, however, he cannot see the energy of an object - it is an ordinary dream, not the real world.
- What is the real world, Don Juan?
- It is a world that generates energy; it is the opposite of the ghostly world of illusion, where nothing generates energy, as is the case in most of our dreams, filled with things without energy potential."
"At the third gate, dreamers must avoid the irresistible urge to immerse themselves in any detail. They achieve this by constantly showing such interest in everything and such an insistent desire to immerse themselves in everything that no particular thing can pin them down."
Passing through the "third gate":
"- For every gate of dreaming there are two stages of passing through it," he said.
The first, as you already know, is to approach them; the second is to cross them. If you dream that you are dreaming, you are approaching the gate. The second step is to start moving after seeing yourself asleep.
- At the third gate of the dream," he continued, "you begin to deliberately merge the reality of the dream and the reality of the ordinary world into one."
"...The task of the third gate of dreaming is to make independent movement of the energy body possible."
