Don Juan Matus definio el ensueno manifestando que era el acto de utilizar los suenos normales como puerta de entrada que conduce a la conciencia humana hacia otros ambitos de la percepcion. Esta definicion implicaba, para el, que los suenos comunes podian ser usados como una escotilla que guiaba la percepcion hacia otras regiones de energia, diferente de la del mundo de la vida cotidiana y, sin embargo, sumamente similar a esta en su nucleo basico. El resultado implicaba la percepcion de mundos verdaderos en los que se podia vivir o morir, mundos increiblemente distintos del nuestro y, al mismo tiempo, sumamente similares.El ensueno unicamente puede ser experimentado."
