Hi out there

Castaneda was fiction right? I've read and reread and obsessed over his books and been forever hung on the fact that the dreaming world is exactly as he describes it. I'm a Castaneda dreamer looking to connect my knowledge with others and continue stepping through the next dreaming gates. Has anyone actually solidly practiced his dreaming techs, because I have and it's mind blowing that he was right! One thing he taught me, in your lucid dream if you only look at your surroundings in short glances, always shifting your view, never staring and never trying to fly or do anything too dramatic, your dreams can last for hours. I have been in complete realms for days on end, places that always seem even more visceral and solid than waking reality.
Anyways, please ping me back if you use Castanedas methods and can share. I've met lots of people in my life who have had lucid dreams, but never once a dreamer that has, for instance, found (in their dream) the room where they are sleeping and found their dreaming body. Or touched the roof of their mouth with their tongue physically while dreaming and experienced the explosion of energy... I have
Write me back if you're out there doing the same
