Hi, Saso!
I do not have a lot of experience in CD but I hope some information may be useful.
Well, actually I do not have a partner but our collective energy tuning that we practice from time to time produce a good effect!
I think that in some ways it helps to make our intent stronger, so energy will move within a particular way.
Going to work is something that usually makes us tired and we waste energy here. However it is just a question of strategy.
During my work day I try to practice stalking, I try to save energy and strenghten my intent, even I do some tensegrity passes or yoga!
I suppose that work will not influnce you dreaming practice if you perform this work with love and acceptance. We just re-view our position to life and consider everything as a possibility to practice.
At the same time Ravenna once said that if we want to become a magician or sorcerer our way should be outside family, hard physical work and social engagement.
I have no info about the way of Doc's healing however I've read that he helps people to get of labyrinths that symbolises illness.
He can see a personal pattern then he enters labyrinth. There is a possibility to see this pattern, Izrigi wrote about it once (exercise "to catch a soma").
And there an easy way to heal somebody - you make a "crazy loop" in you dream, find sprite of someone you need and again and again try to heal him or her with different amulets or charms.
How much I have experienced.
You know that now DH has a really huge field of data and we may need years and years to read and practice it all!
There are some very talented practicians that succeed almost in each excercise. Other perople try to catch up. This path is marvellous but there is no time and perfection to succeed in everything. In each workshop there are those who obtain everything that Ravenna gives to us and those who say that all that is "rubbish". I have some experience related to DH... but this amount is so small in relation to the whole Path!....
"Did you experience the explosion of dream memories?".
I did not have this experience. Ravenna said that after this explosion something changes - you can freely enter dream from awaking state - there are no restraints, you can throw away your map because there is no need in it - you know you dream world from A to Z... everything becomes clear, you recall all your dreams but not at once: it may take a month or a year to unzip all your recalling data.
OBE (=AP) happens when your dream body enters real world. If this happens you can say that you have passed "third gate" of CD.
Well I hope I answer your questions
P.S. If you have some interesting and unusual experience we would be glad to read about it at this site.
Or may be you perform some researches/experiments or have some ideas about it: by all means there are dreamers who will join!
