«L'art de rêver» is an essay by Carlos Castaneda on shamanism and dreams, published in 1994 by Editions du Rocher in paperback (314 pages, in French).
Castaneda recounts the teachings of don Juan, a Yaqui shaman, on the art of dreaming. The book explores the four gates of perception of the universe: dreams allow one to reach a modified consciousness, know other real spaces, and arrive at the «pasaje a la infinitud», which answers essential questions.
Ninth title in the series The Teachings of Don Juan; French translation of the original The Art of Dreaming, published in 1993.
For readers interested in shamanism, spirituality, anthropology, and the work of Carlos Castaneda.
Carlos Castaneda was a Peruvian-American writer, trained as an anthropologist. Starting in 1968, Castaneda published a series of books that describe alleged training in shamanism that he received under the tutelage of a Yaqui "Man of Knowledge" named Don Juan Matus. While Castaneda's work was accepted as factual by many when the books were first published, the character of Don Juan and the training he described is now generally considered to be fabricated and to have little relation to the actual cultural practices of the Yaqui. Castaneda's early writings featuring Don Juan were bestsellers with the general public, and are considered to be a significant influence on neoshamanism and the New Age movement more broadly.
