The Art of Dreaming

Book Review

"The Art of Dreaming" by Carlos Castaneda continues the exploration of the world of magic and shamanism begun in the author's previous works. In this book, Castaneda delves into the practice of lucid dreaming, describing his experience of learning from don Juan Matus, a shaman from the Yaqui tribe. Critics note that the book offers a unique perspective on the nature of consciousness and reality, exploring the boundaries between dreaming and waking. Some reviewers admire the depth and complexity of the concepts presented, while others criticize the author for a lack of scientific grounding and a tendency towards mysticism. Nevertheless, "The Art of Dreaming" remains an important part of Castaneda's series, attracting readers interested in spiritual practices and altered states of consciousness.
