When you wake up in the morning or at night, your dreams yet stand before eyes. Make an effort stop awakening and again to fall asleep. Before you there will be a choice: either to look new sleep or examine old. you continue to look former sleep, but already saving some degree of consciousness.

Now you are important to learn to look after development of dream. Endeavour to hold out able between a vigil and sleep. For this purpose it is possible to hold raised hand. When you will fall asleep, a hand will begin to fall and wake you. On the border of sleep and reality you will realize a dream. Let your dreams go in itself, and you undertake nothing. Remain a simple strange observer.

A next, most important step is development of critical ability of work of our consciousness in sleep. For evidentness will make an example of ordinary dream. Will assume, dreams you, that you walk along the city street. And see a strange picture: a team from four blue camels pulls a little steamship. you looked at it and went farther. If you saw such fantastic picture not in sleep, but actually, then would stop and began to reason: «Why so, but not so?» you went by this situation in sleep, because can not concentrate the attention on it, realize it and operate. If you will wake up, then will understand that dreamed, that to realize a situation and operating in it is not needed. If you will continue to sleep, then will perceive this strange picture as natural. To recognize any fantastic situation in sleep and to start acting in it, you must develop «critical ability». It will compel you to wake up in sleep and to begin a projection on an astral plan.

A word «critical» originates from the English word «judgement». When you begin to judge about a thing, then in the imagination you co-ordinate between itself its parts and details.

This ability is closely related to our vigil. We will study to carry this critical ability of our earthly mind in dreams.

In order that your critical ability began to work on internal plans, all, that you need to do - it much to think about it and strongly to wish it. you must in the imagination build a picture that, how you wake up in sleep and your critical ability begins to work. An imaginary picture must be dynamic and repetitive. Over the months a subconscious mind will perceive a command and will execute your desire.

Will consider, as critical ability works. For this purpose will go back to our sleep with a steamship. In a state of vigil you would stop, seeing in the street a steamship, harnessed in four of blue camels. There would be a great number of prickly questions in your head: «That it, advertising of commodity or shipwreck of steamship? Then why camels and from where animal such color? What all of it means?» Mass of similar questions would swarm in your head until you would not begin to feel uncomfortably and would not undertake an attempt to find comfortable answers for the buzzing questions.

The same takes place in sleep. When critical ability will develop sufficiently, discomfort from nascent questions will grow and grow until you will not wake up in a dream. Your critical ability will suffice strong, to begin to control sleep. Together with an awareness that you sleep, understanding of own duality will come. Such night will come, when you will see that you double: one your body takes part in the events of dream, and other - motionlessly lies on a bed. Yet not one time you will walk up to such state between sleep and divided, before will accumulate sufficient experience, to go along.
