Let\'s leave the old topic in the old year. If you have new questions, ask them in this topic.

The question is old but still relevant for me. If I am a very mediocre Dreamer, should I try to go along with the group or should I start from mapping and dreamjournaling and join after I get some results?
So far, I have been able to follow the tasks for everyday life(from Power Incubation topic) but when it comes to dreams and dreaming...
Ravenna:
I think you should still try to participate in the dreaming project. Even a streak of bad luck has an end. Perhaps it will work out.

Ravenna, some time ago I broke my CD player, having played the audiobook all night long. Since then, it has problems playing CDs - it works for 5-10 minutes, and then stops. Two years ago intuitively I tried to influence it by tensing and relaxing the lower part of my abdomen. And it reacts until now, without me having it fixed. So whenever there is a sound that signals the problem - I activate that same point just below the navel often mentioned by CC, and CD players keeps playing smoothly. But as soon as I relax my attention - it stops and often completely shuts off. Sometimes I react fast enough and launch the process anew, but sometimes I don\'t do it in time. If I don't use above mentioned tricks, the CD-player works badly. How would you explain it?
Ravenna:
From your description, you encountered a defect that was caused either by \"dry joint\" in soldering or dried up elelctolytic condenser. Dry joints you can find visually or by tapping the electric circuit with the pencil\'s blunt end(\"blond\'s method\"). Dried electrolyte you can find with a tester. You measure the resistance - in one direction than in another. There should be a large difference and the Om-meter\'s indicator will show the decreasing value. If resistance is the same, condenser is dead and should be replaced. The rest of the methods - pure indulgence, it is like healing a bad tooth by whispering magic words - it will still rot to the root and you will lose it.

I left a message for you on dreamhackers.ru about a month ago but I still have no reply. Why?
Ravenna:
I don\'t go there anymore. If you have questions - ask them here. If they are very confidential find an abstract way. Women often use \"I have a friend that has this problem\"

Ravenna, please tell us about #2 – "Ask Spirit to help and rely on it (for people that have a strong/pure link with the Spirit)".
Ravenna:
I met many interesting people. but the most interesting was Masya. She had a particularly clear link with the Spirit. She played with Him like with a child and played for Him as for the main director of her life. Spirit responded to her requests immediately and almost every time. Any desire, even the most incomprehensible was magically fulfilled. Despite her troublesome character, Masya had strong Faith. She had faith in the Spirit. He led her and she lived for him. What was Spirit for her? I don\'t know. That depth of initiation is unknown to me. For Masya the concept of the spirit was closely related to impeccability. With impeccability of the part that person has to play at a given moment. Usually people play 2-3 parts. For example a mix of a stringent father, whining husband and passionate lover - and all at the same time. Or the mix of cynical guy always shy virgin and the oppressor of all the weaklings. But when person observes, himself he start putting on different hats. Many different hats. And every part he plays impeccably, not using Stanislvasky\'s system, but plays it for the Spirit to judge, a witness of his life. They say \"Death is beautiful when you are watched\". Think if you are always watched - you are always being observed by a very respected being. And you put all you got in performing your part for It, every moment of your life. All the pettiness disappears. What appears is the nobility of actions and Beauty. You don\'t just life like everybody else. Every second of your life you in real Drama. You give it 100%. You burn, you light up, you enjoy your play. Because you feel the Spirit being there, enjoying you. Usually, people are not interesting for Him. We are all the same - pale and gray. In our actions there is so much self-interest and cheap imitation that Spirit- turns always and yawns at own sight. His attention can only be drawn by the sincere and impeccable play with really courageous and interesting moves. That\'s what Masya used to tell me about Spirit.

Ravenna, please respond how to use Sniffer in a dream. In one of the older posts you promised to teach us how.
Ravenna:
During their attack, sniffers launch a program of fear in us. Rather it is better to say that these programs have a fear subroutine in them. If you have some experience and desire to experiment with sniffers, there is a way to disconnect the call to the subroutine of fear and give it another input like laughter or a different emotion: tender love, annoyance, insistence of a stringent boss. It will cause a disruption in sniffers program. It will try to annul, to disappear. And here you will have to catch it with a sticky glance. Sniffer will start throwing masterpieces of stalking, trying to divert your attention. With some experience you will be able to hold on to it. That\'s when it will take you to the Central Programming Hub. They way you will see that center depends on you and your awareness. There is a lot to do there - for example you can find “yourself” and make some corrections -heal yourself, improve your countenance, program important events in your life, etc.

Please recommend a method of stopping the Inner Dialogue and is there a right way to do it. Walking the way Castaneda advises it in his books I can not yet practice. Second question - should we try practicing using your Practicum at aworld.ru. Will there be results?

Ravenna, what is the difference between a Lucid dream and Conscious Dream. I heard many different definitions including the one that until the explosion of the dream memory, all conscious dreams are lucid and after that you can get Conscious Dreams. Is it true?
Ravenna:
In reality they are the same. The notion of “lucidity” was introduced by western dreamers. “Conscious” dream” is a result of senseless Eng-Rus translation of Garfield, Laberge, etc. Lucidity is a more exact definition. In order to call any dream “Conscious” dream is silly. The moment of awareness is so short, that it cannot be an indicator of the whole dream. It is more proper to call it a dream with a moment of awareness. Lucidity is better, because it is the transparency of being conscious. Each dream has its own degree of lucidity. For example, you can recall that Ravenna asked you to perform the “Ticket” task. However there is no 100% awareness in it. Sometimes there is 100% awareness but you don\'t remember the task about tickets. Hackers decided that this whole business is worthless for practical use. If you want to use lucidity option, you need completely controlled dream. What is a controlled dream? It is a dream, in which you can enter intentionally while retaining some awareness. It is a dream that you can “order” beforehand. It is a dream where you can change time of day, location and other attributes. Then your “user status” will change. Then your dreaming will gain a new quality. What is wrong “Lucid Dream” (translated as “Conscious Dream” into Russian)? First of all, spontaneous moment of consciousness aree too short and depend on psycho-emotional state and life conditions. Too short, too vulnerable at crucial moments of transit from one dream to another. They are not subject to planned wishes, only local reflections of intention. That\'s why for development of Lucid Dreaming into something substantial, we need special programs - like Monroe\'s or Laberge\'s. Only very determined people can go through those programs and still they are subject to limitations. It is not acceptable for hackers. We like Castaneda and his controlled dreaming. In the original text - controlled dreams is mentioned 8 times. And there is no mention of lucid dreams. Also CC gives definition of controlled dreams where there is control over locations, time of day and the dreaming scenario.

The following question:
I have a very good friend who is unfortunately in the army now and I got excited about an opportunity of dreaming together without the other person\'s active participation because it is problematic to have Conscious Dreams while in the army. The only scheme of teleportation in somebody else\'s dream through Medici\'s Patience that I came up with are two sequences:
AAAABBBBB
CCCCBBBBB
First experiments were pretty successful, but is there a way to exclude the second sequence? Or both?
Ravenna:
There won\'t be any critic. Try both ways, find a better one and generalize your findings in an easy to understand article.
