<\/a> training centers on the Art of Memory. Among humans, the most effective way to practice this is through dream recall and dream reentry. The memory of a dream is the memory of a journey. It may have been a short visit to a neighbor\u2019s house or the place where you will find yourself on Tuesday week, It may have been a far journey, to a distant galaxy or a vast dimension enfolded inside a pearl a hundred million billion times smaller than human instruments can detect in earth reality. Perhaps you were drawn here, to the sphere of Luna, to study and play in this realm.<\/p>\nSo often the dream fades, or you abandon it, not trusting your memory. But when you hold onto the dream, or gently let it return, a road opens before you. Move towards the dreamspace, and you travel between the worlds. Stay fully inside the dream, and you are home.<\/p>\n
