I just got 'The Art of Dreaming' by Carlos Castaneda. As recommended by @Nicolas Bennett ... The first page I opened it to has this poem by Dylan Thomas. Thought I would share it here, it feels appropriate... I HAVE LONGED TO MOVE AWAY I have longed to move away From the hissing of the spent lie And the old terrors' continual cry Growing more terrible as the day Goes over the hill into the deep sea; I have longed to move away From the repetition of salutes, For there are ghosts in the air And ghostly echoes on paper, And the thunder of calls and notes. I have longed to move away but am afraid; Some life, yet unspent, might explode Out of the old lie burning on the ground, And, crackling into the air, leave me half-blind. Neither by night's ancient fear, The parting of hat from hair, Pursed lips at the receiver, Shall I fall to death's feather. By these I would not care to die, Half convention and half lie.

Great book on lucid dreaming and the 7 gateways that go beyond just dreaming. Highly recommended to consume. https://youtu.be/3qOdKojFrqY
