I've attempted to read the Casteneda series twice. I'm now starting the third attempt. There have been 5-7 years between each attempt. The strangeness of the writing style, as well as the tendency to forget what I'd just read, as well as the tendency to have many of the experienced mentioned, prevented me from ever finishing the series of books.
There are things now that I really want to understand, and so many of the things in these books makes sense according to direct experience. So I've been drawn back to exploring the techniques again. Since this is an anonymous forum, I'm happy to discuss experience with people.
I have had enough experiences (before reading the books also) that support the ideas in his books, mainly in the realm of dreaming, that I am interested in learning/practicing more.
I'm not a teacher by any means, by the way.
