# What Is The Fabric of Dreaming? [Dreaming](https://shamanscave.com/component/content/category/shamanscave-content/shamanic-dreaming/dreaming/) [ ](https://shamanscave.com/fabric-of-dreaming/#comments) Your energy moves in sleep naturally towards the totality of what you are, but you can't recall that through reason, so you get pretty pictures and weird stories instead. **Dreaming can be a powerful gateway**. *What is the dreaming fabric made of, and how do we pierce it?* The fabric of dreaming is made up of your own reason or the energy - **tear that fabric down, and you're left with what's behind the dream** - raw energy, which gives you more freedom to move. It is, in a way, a method of reconnecting with yourself in a safer environment. You tear down the fabric by refusing to follow the scripts your reason runs in terms of imagery. *Safer than waking dreaming, you mean?* Yes, much safer. There are a whole set of dreaming practices that have evolved in different traditions - I just never cared for them. I like my sleep like a good steak. :) *It seems some people have a natural proclivity to working there.* Yes, it's an area where we come closest to ourselves in terms of a definition of our total energy, so most people are comfortable working there. I have no problems with it, it just has never been a big focus for me. *What differentiates a dreamer from the average person?* Dreamers tend to move more easily through their dreams to understandings of themselves and any given situation. **Dreamers work from a point of what if's not what are's**. *Is any energy retrieved here naturally felt there? So, a gain is a gain?* Yes, you are not apart from yourself except in your reason. My dreaming has become very abstract for the most part; I've noticed the change over the decades. There is a place beyond the fabric where we can reconstitute the past in dreaming - it's one way of moving there. You leave one world behind to constitute another, just as real, but in the past - history, but living history.
