Introduction to Dreaming
One of the misconceptions about sleep is that as we sleep, our bodies just "turn off" for several hours which then followed by "turning back on" as we wake up in the morning. In short, most of us take sleep as a passive and relatively constant, unchanging process. In fact, sleep is a very active state. Our bodies move frequently, as we roll around and according to psychologists and scientists, our brain activity is even more intense than in the normal waking state. Modern science also recognizes lucid dreaming, a state in which the dreamer is aware of dreaming. During lucid dreaming, the dreamer may be able to exert some degree of control over the dream characters, narrative, and environment. The term 'lucid dream' was coined by Dutch author and psychiatrist Frederik van Eeden in his 1913 article A Study of Dreams, though descriptions of dreamers being aware that they are dreaming predates the actual term. Early references to the phenomenon are found in ancient Greek writing. In Eastern thought, cultivating the dreamer's ability to be aware that he or she is dreaming is central to both the Tibetan Buddhist practice of dream Yoga, and the ancient Indian Hindu practice of Yoga nidra. The cultivation of such awareness was common practice among early Buddhists.

Another phenomenon, not confirmed by science is the Astral Projection or out-of-body-experience (O.B.E.) that assumes the existence of a soul or consciousness called an "astral body" that is separate from the physical body and capable of travelling outside it throughout the universe. Old sacred texts tell us that when person sleeps, his mind and soul travel into higher worlds to receive instruction and answers. Unfortunately, we are not able to evaluate that instruction since we do not remember it and logically, if we don’t remember something we’re not able to make any conclusions from those experiences. In Numbers 12:6, we can find following statement: There are variety of ways how Divine Beings communicate with humans such as through visions, signs and wonders, angels, people or ‘shadows’. In Book of Genesis alone there are 33 references to the word ‘dreams’ or its singular form. In general, scriptures refer to either dreams or night visions. These two ways of communication may refer to two different states of consciousness that we now refer to as the theta or delta state. As you may already know, scientists are able to measure gross brain activity using EEC (electroencephalogram). Using this device, scientists have identified various frequencies that accompany different states of consciousness.
6
Beta frequencies are present during your normal waking consciousness. In hypnosis or self-hypnosis, person slides into alpha state that is considered as bridge between sleep and waking consciousness. Then follows the theta state, which is ascribed to deep meditative states, relaxation and is accompanied with rich mental imagery. Finally, the delta state is characterized by minimum brain activity and sleep. In holy scriptures, there are many instances where the ancient sages received inspiration and answers to their questions in dreams. Yet only a handful of people knew what techniques they used. I am going to list three different methods in this book. Out of those three, I have been frequently using the first one, especially for business decisions such as:
• Selecting new employee after a bunch of interviews • Decide which business direction I should take among
various options • Whether particular business idea is going to be profitable
or not
Answers, I have been receiving were straightforward and accurate. Some of my students use these very same techniques to obtain answers on love and health related questions. If you can precisely formulate your question, there is simply no limit on what you can ask. You also need to practice on daily basis before you see first results. Time to first results varies from person to person but the average time is two weeks.

Contemporary Dream Questioning Technique
This is one of the simplest ways to perform the so-called Dream
Questioning. Similar techniques are being used in scientific and
experimenting circles to induce lucid dreaming to this day.
1. As you go to bed at night, spend a minute calming down. Then,
repeat your question seven times loudly or silently in your
mind, counting with your fingers.
2. When you are done with that, say three times: “I search for
answer from the depths of the Infinite Mind, please grant me
the correct answer.”
3. Then, lay on your back, with arms along your body and palms
up. Breath normally, but slowly. Focus on each locale of your
body telling it to ‘relax’ three times. Use following progression:
Focus on your ankles, shins, thighs, buttocks, midsection,
lower back, chest, upper back, neck and head. Then focus on
your left and right arm and finally, palms.
Spend about 15 to 30 seconds mentally focusing on each area
of your body mentally commanding it to ‘relax’ three times.
4. Then, imagine an Infinite Point somewhere outside you and
imagine golden stream of light connecting the Infinite Point
with top of your head. Start breathing in with your mouth and
imagine this golden stream intensify and create golden sphere
of light in and around your brain. Do this as many times as you
8
can. After you feel you’ve had enough, simply stop the
procedure and try to fall asleep.
5. Have a pen and paper ready next to your bed as you may wake
up with an answer in the middle of the night. If you don’t write
the answer down immediately, you may not be able to
remember it in the morning. Repeat the procedure every night
for at least 14 days.
Sometimes the answer comes almost immediately during the
process of falling asleep – when you’re in the beta state. This is
the best case that may happen to you because you will be able to
break through the beta state, wake up immediately and record
the answer. Often, the answer will be accompanied with visions.

Ancient Dream Questioning Technique
This ancient spiritual method of Schelat Chalom (Dream
Questioning) involves set of Hebrew letters to be written on the
palm of your left hand using black pen prior to retiring to bed.
Remember to write from the top and from right to left, not from
left to right as we are used to write in English. Try to be as
precise in writing the letters in their exact form as seen below.
For precise depiction of the letters selecting pen with thin tip
would be the safest way to go. The Name of Power here is
Adonyram. Upon closer examination name means "My Lord is
Lofty and Exalted," and it is associated with the Kabbalistic
doctrines pertaining to the "sparks" of Divine Light trapped in
this world of "Fallen Shards." ¹
If you read the Alignment Code you already know that
kabbalistic wisdom teaches us that the fallen shards represent
material things or bodies of the animal, vegetable and mineral
world – each with ‘soul’ inside - represented by the ‘sparks of
light’ trapped in the material body.
Eventually all the shards and sparks must come back to its
Source again in the act called Tikkun – Restoration. On individual
level, this Restoration can only happen if we as people willingly
perform certain deeds or meditative activities called as Yichudim
(Unifications) that elevate our souls. It is maintained that
Adonyram written in the sacred Hebrew script on one’s body
induces this elevation and enables to draw answers to questions
from higher sources – one of Four kabbalistic worlds of
Archetypes, Creation, Formation and Action.

Meditative Dream Questioning Technique
The last dream questioning method I would like to share with you
is meditative in its essence. In this method, you will be using Basal
Breathing technique in the evening when you retire to bed.
Science of Breathing
I am going to explain one of the most effective and essential
methods of driving Divine Energy into human body or its parts.
I would like to introduce a new Axiom that says:
“Where attention goes, energy flows.”
This basically says that if you sense, focus or look at any object,
part of your internal energy immediately flows from you to the
chosen object and vice versa, from the object back to you. This
happens every single time, whether you feel it or not.
This method involves conscious breathing. All serious masters
acknowledge that there is more to breathing that normally meets
the eye.
Our bodies need air and food to exist while the atmosphere itself is
also considered food. When we are breathing unconsciously, our
body only takes the necessary nutrient (oxygen) out of the
atmosphere.
When we look at the composition of atmosphere we realize that
oxygen belongs to the element of Fire and nitrogen to the Element
of Water.
12
Element of Air then balances the two, while the Element of Earth
represents the gravity uniting oxygen and hydrogen together.
Now as many experienced spiritual practitioners know, there is
one more hidden element that underlines all the other four.
This fifth element is called Avir (the Universal Life Force, Universal
Element or Spirit). Union of these five elements is often depicted as
Pentagram.
All these elements have two polarities, magnetic and electric – or
attractive and radiative.
When we start breathing consciously, we can impregnate our
breath with different qualities, such as thoughts, images or Divine
and Angelic Names.
In this process, magnetic currents of four elements mentioned
above will attach the image, thought or Divine Name into the
energetic matrix of Avir.
With focused attention, we can then drive the impregnated
Universal Life Force (Spirit Principle) of Avir into specific organs
or into whole body, as you will soon see.
During this process, energetic levels immediately increase,
preserving and revitalizing organ on which you are focusing.
In addition, the electric (radiative) quality of air impregnated with
thought or image will be distributed from blood stream into all
parts of human mind – including Subjective Mind of the
practitioner that, as we already know is connected to the Endless
Mind (Collective Consciousness).
13
This is the secret of breath from magical point of view and in fact, it
is probably the most important part of all Ancient Traditions that
utilize breath for various personal and global benefits. What only
few people know is that it is not the quantity of air that matters.
You don’t need to breathe tons of air, pumping your lungs into
their fullest to achieve your objective. The quality of air
impregnated with ideas is what matters most.
When you are breathing consciously, you’re not only cultivating
strong and healthy breathing abilities but also increasing your
overall health.
With conscious breathing, you will acquire deeper elements that
are often called as the food of the Universe.
You may want to spend a minute or two thinking how your
breathing may have caused some of the health problems you’re
currently facing.
Basal Breathing Method
Learning to breathe correctly is not difficult. Contrary to what you
may have read in other books, it is advised to use open mouth for
inhalation and exhalation and it has many benefits over commonly
advised nostrils breathing.
Using your mouth, you can form your mouth in such a way as to
inbreathe Divine Names, which is not possible to do with nostrils
breathing when your mouth is closed.
Part of your air will naturally flow through your nostrils provided
they’re not blocked.
14
To breathe correctly, inhale through your mouth into your
abdomen first and once it is full, continue filling your lungs. Do not
strain yourself. Breathe in naturally, as far as you can without
tensing your neck muscles.
When you’re full of air, pause for one second without tensing any
muscles and then commence with exhalation by first emptying
your lungs and finally your abdomen.
Length or each inhalation and exhalation should be at least 5
seconds or more. Longer the better. You will notice that with
practice, your lung capacity will naturally increase and you will be
able to perform inhalations and exhalations that last 10 seconds
each or more without any straining on your side whatsoever.
To breathe out all air out of your abdomen, you may want to
contract it by pulling the abdominal wall in, at the end of each
exhalation. Pause one second and repeat the process of inhalation.
Now, let’s do the Basal Breathing Technique.
Although this technique will later be expanded, it is all by itself a
perfect healing technique directly affecting your whole body and
mind, tuning you into hidden currents of universal energy. It alone
can be used to reverse serious mental, physical and emotional
conditions.
In addition, breathing helps you improve relation between your
Conscious and Subconscious Mind, which, just as the Healing
Statement helps purify false beliefs.
When you’re just beginning to breathe consciously, I suggest you
lay down on your back with arms loosely along sides of your body
and legs slightly apart. Have your palms facing upwards.
15
For best feeling appreciation, do not cover yourself and wear
minimum only amount of clothes, if any. Later, as you get
proficient, you can do this technique while sitting or standing, fully
dressed and you will still experience the energy flowing into your
body with increased amount of intensity.
Remember, where your attention goes the energy follows – so this
technique works from day one as you don’t really need to feel the
energy at all. With practice, you will become more sensitive to the
energy current.
In the beginning, it may take you 20 - 40 minutes to complete the
session, but later as you get proficient it will only take seconds to
fully ‘tune in’ and vibrate your entire anatomy.
Later you may replace group areas of your body and ‘tune’ them in
collectively. Practice this method every day at least once, either in
the morning or in the evening for one week before adding Divine
Names to inhalations and exhalations.
1. As you lay down, close your eyes and spend 30 seconds or
more just relaxing, sensing which bodily parts are tensed.
Consciously relax them by giving them mental command “relax”.
Focus your attention inside your body. Stay away from thinking
about worldly matters.
2. Take one to three normal deep breaths and sigh loudly with
each exhalation.
3. Take another three deep breaths, now trying to fully breathe
into your belly and lungs as described above. This time, make a
sound of any consonant you like on each exhalation, trying to sense
16
any vibration throughout your body. This will help you get in
contact with individual part of your body. I usually use letter ‘oooh’
or ‘aaaaah’ as I am inhaling.
4. With your eyes closed, try sensing your toes. It is not
important to perfectly imagine them. What you are after is to sense
your toes with your feeling alone.
As previously said, where attention goes energy follows, so do not
make this part an issue. Just become aware of your toes. As you
already know, Avir is everywhere around you (and within you).
Start breathing in and imagine you are sucking more Avir, the life-
force through the pores of your toes as you are taking the deep
breath. Fill your toes with this vital force and during entire
exhalation intone within your toes, sensing vital force vibrating in
that bodily area.
5. Now, shift your attention to your feet and repeat the
procedure.
6. Do the same with your lower legs (below knees), thighs,
buttocks, genitals, each time breathing into the body part and then
exhaling, intoning ‘ooohh’, ‘aaaah’ or humming and trying to sense
any vibration.
7. Continue the procedure, now with the area from navel down
to genitals and then from diaphragm down to navel. Follow up with
your chest, lower and upper back, and the ladies should not forget
breathing with their breasts. Then focus on your shoulders, upper
17
arms, lower arms, your hands and fingers. If you’re doing it
correctly you should now feel deeply surrendered.
8. Now, focus on your entire neck, especially on the back of your
neck where a lot of tension may still be present. Continue with
back of your skull, both sides and top of your head. Finish with
your face. At this point, some people may experience sudden burst
of smiling or crying – this is your Subconscious Mind reacting to
the procedure that tends to induce release of suppressed feelings
and emotions. Just observe this phenomenon without any
interruption.
9. Finish the procedure by briefly sensing your entire body
experiencing energetic state within. Literally experience every
portion of your body, opening up its pores, inviting new streams of
energy. Take a deep breath with your whole body, straight through
your skin and on exhalation feel the entire body vibrating with you.
Again, hum on exhalation. Do this inhalation and exhalation
minimum three times or more.
You can now either stop the exercise, or if you’re using this
technique as preparation for Dream Questioning, continue with
following sequence.
10. Recite your question exactly seven times, counting with your
fingers. Then finish the procedure by going back to your normal
conscious levels by clenching your fists and opening your eyes.
Finally, turn over on your side and try to fall asleep.
18
As said above, once you get acquainted with this breathing
technique, you can then group individual body parts together and
vibrate them in one breath.
For example, you may vibrate your entire legs, trunk, both arms
and head including neck together in one single inhalation and
exhalation. This way, number of breaths will decrease to four plus
another three breaths for the entire body.

How to Induce Lucid Dreaming
1. The best time to practice is after 4 or 5 hours of sleep.
With your eyes closed, stare at the darkness behind your eyelids
for 15-20 seconds. Try to pick up any colors, lights, or images, but
do not strain your eye muscle. If you see nothing but darkness,
that's fine. Again, we are not striving to induce dreams from the
waked state, so do not force it. It is perfectly fine to not feel
anything.
2b) Listen to the noises in your ears for 15-20 seconds. Chances
are you will hear some light humming and buzzing sound. See if
you can hear it more clearly. If you don't hear anything that's okay.
2c) Notice any strange body sensations such as heaviness, tingling,
and movements. Pay attention particularly to the head, hands,
fingers, abdomen, feet, and toes. Again, it is perfectly fine if you
don't feel anything strange.
3. Find the most comfortable position and try to fall asleep as
quickly as possible! The quicker you fall asleep the more likely you
will succeed later in your dreams!
The above steps should be performed in a relaxed manner, slowly,
lazily, and without any rational thoughts. The 15-20 seconds
duration is for your reference only, so do not count in your head.
Chances are, after a couple of repetitions you will begin to feel
sleepy, to the point your mind may drift away and forget to
continue the exercise.
20
Congratulations, this is exactly the effect we are after! When this
happens just pull your mind back a bit and resume from where you
drifted away. If you lost count of the repetitions, simply do a new
set. It won't hurt.
Do not do this technique at the start of your sleep -- it will not
work. The only exception is afternoon naps since you enter directly
into REM is a unique phase of sleep in mammals and birds,
distinguishable by random/rapid movement of the eyes,
accompanied with low muscle tone throughout the body, and the
propensity of the sleeper to dream vividly.
REM sleep is physiologically different from the other phases of
sleep, which are collectively referred to as non-REM sleep (NREM
sleep, NREMS, synchronized sleep). REM and non-REM sleep
alternate within one sleep cycle, which lasts about 90 minutes in
adult humans.
As sleep cycles continue, they shift towards a higher proportion of
REM sleep. The transition to REM sleep brings marked physical
changes, beginning with electrical bursts called PGO waves
originating in the brain stem.
Organisms in REM sleep suspend central homeostasis, allowing
large fluctuations in respiration, thermoregulation, and circulation
which do not occur in any other modes of sleeping or waking.
What is going to happen
Several things may happen through this exercise:
1. After you fall asleep, you may suddenly wake up with a
strange sensation. You will feel wide awake, and your body
weightless.
21
At this point just do a reality check and roll out from your bed to
induce an Out of Body Experience (OBE).
2. You wake up with vibrations and other strange sensations. Hung
onto these sensations will lead you into an OBE.
3. You suddenly become lucid in your dreams with no apparent
reasons, or you may begin to suspect you are dreaming.
4. You have a False Awakening. Unlike the first experience, you
may feel awake but still drowsy.
5. A direct OBE. Phase entrance may occur during the repetition,
with your mind still awake. When this happens, many of the
sensations become amplified. You should stop doing any further
exercises, and begin focusing on the sensations until you
successfully enter the phase.
