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. greetings from a cold madrid roberto
