Forbidden Confessions of a Dream Walker - Notes on The Gateway Process

The U.S. government's information on the Gateway Process became widely known when the CIA declassified a document called:

"Analysis and Assessment of The Gateway Process"
(Document originally from 1983)

The document was produced by the U.S. Army and analyzed by a Lieutenant Colonel named Wayne M. McDonnell.
It was declassified and released to the public in the early 2000s (around 2003), but it didn't really become famous until much later when people started digging into it, especially around 2020.

The CIA posted the declassified files in their online reading room, and you can find them directly on the CIA's website.
Here’s the official government link where they made the documents available:

(Those are the primary documents, though there are others connected to it.)

Quick overview of what's in the document:

• It discusses techniques from the Monroe Institute (Robert Monroe’s research).

• It describes how using audio stimulation ("Hemi-Sync") could help synchronize the two hemispheres of the brain.

• It outlines altered states of consciousness where a person could leave their body, move through different planes of reality, and access the "universal hologram."

• It even discusses things like astral projection, remote viewing, reaching higher dimensions, and communication with other beings.

• The report blends scientific theory, quantum physics, consciousness research, and mysticism in a way that is almost surreal to read, knowing it came from official sources.

Important:
The full Gateway Process itself — the training and all the steps — wasn't fully declassified, and some documents are still missing or heavily redacted.
