What is Key in Mapping

I believe you are missing the main point. Mapping of Dreaming is a trick. It is aimed at the mundane and tedious work of recalling dreams – all of them, of any kind, with any content. Who among you would "chew" this granite of knowledge without an elegant and attractive package? Mapping is that package. It's so people can overcome their laziness and bring the development of second attention to completion (or at least significantly advance in it). By daily recalling dreams and charting them, you repeatedly introduce particles of your consciousness into the world of Dreaming. And one day, a critical mass accumulates. A qualitative leap occurs. In life, this moment manifests as an avalanche of memories of your past dreams. It is only after this that true Lucid Dreams begin. Everything before that, Dream Hackers consider transparent dreams (lucid dreams, I believe, is the term). But, my dears, mapping has outgrown its function as a trick. It has become something more – a door to a virtual space. The laws of this space are close to the laws of the world of Dreaming. You have received purgatory before entering paradise (or the underworld before hell). Do not dwell on such specifics as what should be mapped and what should not. Try everything. Act according to the Ukrainian proverb, "What I don't eat, I'll bite." Mapping is a toy for the first attention, but by playing with it, consciousness learns the second attention. And strive for the moment of "explosion." The moment when your Assemblage Point breaks free and begins to wander along the human band. Yes, perhaps you will go mad for a day or two. Perhaps this moment will be the highest and most exhilarating moment of your life. But only after it will you understand what true Lucid Dreams are.
