The goal of dreaming is to intend the energy body.

Let your energy body do it. To intend is to wish without wishing, to do without doing.

Accept the challenge of intending
. Put your silent determination, without a single thought, into
convincing yourself that you have reached your energy body and that you
are a dreamer .

When
you hear that—you have to convince yourself, you automatically become
more rational. How can you convince yourself you are a dreamer when you know you are not? Intending is both: the act of convincing yourself you are indeed a dreamer , although you have never dreamt before, and the act of being convinced.

I don't mean you have to tell yourself you are a dreamer and try your best to believe it. It isn't that.

Intending
is much simpler and, at the same time, infinitely more complex than
that. It requires imagination, discipline, and purpose. In this case,
to intend means that you get an unquestionable bodily knowledge that you are a dreamer . You feel you are a dreamer with all the cells of your body.
