About the author
Merilyn Tunneshende is the author of three titles published by Bear & Company on shamanic dreaming and Toltec teaching traditions linked to the lineage of don Juan Matus, the teacher associated with Carlos Castaneda's books. Twilight Language of the Nagual (2004) presents exercises in what she calls extra-lucid dreaming, framed as a way of moving between waking and dream states within Nagual shamanic practice. Don Juan and the Power of Medicine Dreaming (2002) describes her own path through Toltec mysticism and dreamwork, including transcripts of dreaming sessions. Don Juan and the Art of Sexual Energy (2001) addresses sexual energy practices within the same Toltec-Mayan framework. All three books present themselves as accounts of personal study within this lineage, aimed at readers already interested in Castaneda's writing and in shamanic dreaming as a practice.
