From the editor : Florinda Donner-Grau, the longtime colleague and fellow dream-traveler of Carlos Castaneda takes us back some twenty years to offer a riveting autobiographical account of her halting, sometimes unwilling, often bewildering initiation into the world of being-in-dreaming, where dreams and reality become difficult to distinguish. While traveling in northern Mexico, Donner-Grau, then a young student at UCLA, happened upon "another world that coexists with ours." Peopled by the followers of a sorcerers' tradition originating with the Indians of pre-Columbian Mexico, this tantalizing world became her spiritual and intellectual passion. By slipping from one identity to another and engineering bizarre and serendipitous encounters, Castaneda and his circle upset all of Donner-Grau's assumptions about time, space, and existence while questioning all her notions of femininity.
