тАЬJust observe the tropical fish of thought swimming through the waters of your mind....тАЭ she murmured
half-hypnotically. тАЬIf you watch the right way, you'll know it when it happens. Instead of the words and
images and feelings going out of your mind into the darkness, words and images and feelings will start
floating up out of the darkness towards you...."

Amanda grinned, straightened suddenly, held up a finger. тАЬThat's it!тАЭ she exclaimed. тАЬThat's the
doorway! What's coming up out of it aredreams . You're right on the edge of sleep, it's coming up out of
the Dreamtime for you."

Now she paced in small circles, staring at the audience like a raptor. тАЬPull back the teeniest eeniest bit
until you feel that the words and images and feelings are coming out ofyou once more. Then do the same
thing over again. And again. Several times before you let sleep take you. Do this for a few nights, and
you'll learn to recognize the doorway, thefeel of it, the aura...."

She stopped pacing. тАЬWhat's really on the other side of the doorway? Where are the dreams coming

down, you'll be able to retain consciousness of the opening of the doorway, you'll know what it feels like,

She sat down slowly, throwing up her arms in a gesture of gentle confused surrender. тАЬYou're creative
people, but you're all different, so how you do the next step is up to you,тАЭ she said. тАЬSet up a tape
recorder, or your computer, or your easel, whatever, by your bedside. Lay down and wait for that aura,
that feeling, that opening of the doorway, let the dreams start coming through...."

She leaned far forward and then spoke in a strong stage whisper, conveying the effect of someone
imparting a secret while trying not to arouse the attention of unwanted eavesdroppers.

тАЬAnd then what you've got to do is hold the door open while you sit up in bed and take up your
instrument and...let the dreamtime play it through you...."

Amanda laughed. тАЬThisone, you won't find so easy,тАЭ she admitted. тАЬBut sooner or later, you'll wake up

the next morning with some drawings, or some words, whatever, that will seem were put there by the
elves. And then the first thing you must do, with some coffee, or some grass, or some wine, or even
something stronger, feel free, is take that work as a beginning and go on.тАЭ

At this point, Amanda stood up, and began walking very slowly towards her audience. тАЬThe rest,тАЭ she
said, тАЬis up to you. If you persist, you'll be sitting there one morning, wide awake at your work, and you'll
feel the aura, and the doorway will open, and the Dreamtime will come pouring through!тАЭ
