Rather its not if we are the authors of our destiny - we are in part.
When I put amazons tribe example I wasn´t telling that. In the pre-
view we are just looking ourselves and our decisions; this doesn´t
mean that we can avoid that 50% which is destiny-i.e. we cannot
avoid our dead, even in dreams.
In short, dream and pre-view posibilities are same as life. A bit of
us, a bit of destiny: the narrow path.
