Not exactly. I did start off loosely with some of his premises about lucid dreaming but did not follow his outline. Although I never did subscribe to the, "You are actually there", element of Castaneda.
You have to start somewhere taking command of the elements of your dreams. The forcing yourself to look at your hands is one of the earliest, and easiest (Though not easy by any means), that there is.
Speaking of dreams; my Dandie Dinmont terrier is lying on his side, asleep on a small mat near my feet. His feet are kicking, and he is making small woofing noises. I’ve often seen him doing this and wondered what sort of dream he was having. I’m pretty sure it’s not a lucid dream. Is he part of an ancestral wolf-pack chasing some large prey (or just a rabbit)...a racial memory; or is he being pursued by some larger, fiercer predator? When I wake him at these times, he gets up and looks around, obviously astonished.
