About this title

From the Back Cover:

"A woman's gripping tale of self-discovery in present-day Mexico."
OLIVER STONE

"Donner's tale casts a spell; it is a magic theater of holy actors, a dancing world of fierce angels all sweating their prayers. She offers us a brilliant taste of vintage sorcery and feminine wisdom."
GABRIELLE ROTH, author of 'Maps of Ecstasy: Teachings of an Urban Shaman'

"(Donner) challenges the world's most cherished social myths about reality, the nature of women, and the significance of dreams."
JUDITH PINTAR, author of 'Voices from the Earth'

Florinda Donner, the longtime colleague and fellow dream-traveler of Carlos Castaneda, offers a riveting autobiographical account of her halting, sometimes unwilling, often bewildering initiation into the world of being-in-dreaming. At turns spellbinding, mysterious, and humorous, 'Being-in-Dreaming' is ultimately an unforgettable spiritual adventure.

Florinda Donner is also the author of 'Shabono' and 'The Witch's Dream'.

Synopsis:

The story of a young woman's travels into Mexico and her initiation into a group of sorcerers - including the infamous Don Juan - whereby she is drawn into the world of being-in-dreaming. Her story fulfills the feminine dimension of the spirit world first introduced by Castaneda.
