Read this review,
By erik_satie_rollerblading (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tales of Power (Paperback)
Back in 1985 I read this book and was fascinated. Was it real or not?I finally came to the conclusion that I didn't really care, the writing was extraordinary, magical in itself. Then last week (February 20, 2004) I woke up in the night during a dream. I soon found I was still dreaming. I woke up again, and figured I was again still dreaming. This has happened before and I go to great lengths to wake up, because it is terrifying. (You feel as if you will never 'really' wake up.) This time I let the terror go, and went to use the bathroom, realizing I was dreaming. The bathroom door wasn't there, so I intended it to be there and it materialized. I was experiencing something I later discovered is called lucid dreaming. Why I hadn't come across this concept before is inexplicable, but I'd always considered Castaneda to be in some sort of waking state induced by Don Juan when he did his 'dreaming'. In retrospect, that oversight seems to be a defense mechanism my mind set up to protect me from the obvious fact that Carlos was asleep and doing lucid dreaming. Now all of Castaneda's work, seen from the viewpoint of lucid dreaming, makes sense in a completely new way. Whether his entire episodes in Mexico are lucid dreams or whether he actually met a 'Don Juan' there who taught him how to enter lucid dreaming, there is no doubt in my mind that THIS is what he is talking about. His feelings of dread, his lapses of consciousness and being shaken awake by Don Juan, the feeling of being in two places at once, all fit with what I've experienced first hand in my false awakenings and my one (so far)lucid dream. Was Castaneda a sincere communicator of his 'field' experiences or a cynical charlatan or both? I don't know. What I do know is that the reality of lucid dreaming, as I've experienced it, is congruent with his writings. So I'm reading them all again ....

THIS IS THE BEST BOOK EVER,PERIOD!!!,
By Spiridian (1430 Headquarters, Montreal, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tales of Power (Unbound)
This book not only changed my perception of reality, it changed my life. As I read Castaneda my dreams became more lucid, i could see Aura's(luminous eggshells) more clearly. My overall development which would have taken leap years were stricken ahead with commanding force due to this book, i cannot accentuate how powerful this book was in the formation and view of my reality and present state of mind, all that one would this is this book and Tool's Aenima(the greatest 78 minutes of music available on earth) as a solid foundation to begin exploring themselves and the other dimensions available.On the matter of Castaneda's work being fiction or reality;I remember a friend having a debate with another human about this piece of work,his answer was that it didn't matter if Castaneda made this all up,the overwheming power is enough to bring you to tears...and thats all that really matters anyway.
4.0 out of 5 stars
enjoyable reading forever,
This review is from: Tales of Power (Paperback)
a visionary work filled with inspiration on almost every page. This is like Harry Potter for adults - simple, easily digested nuggets of magic to inspire your soul. Castaneda had the eternal heart of a child and was probably laughing all the way through to the other side.
