What's 'First Gate' ?
I chose this name to honour the lost art of DREAMING. More specifically, Lucid Dreaming as practiced by the ancient Toltecs. There are several steps to master lucid dreaming as described through the character Don Juan Mateus in the books of Carlos Casteneda.
The first step or 'gate' to lucid dreaming is to bridge your everyday consciousness into your dreams by attempting to orient yourself in your dream and to become aware that you are in fact dreaming. One technique is to try to look at your hands while dreaming.
