DreamScape

@Mattie haha thanks

It's like eating food. You do it all of your life but you only eat meal size portions to fill you up and allow your body to digest it until you become hungry again

Okay, so I'm shook. I was talking with my dad and he told us at the dinner table about how he had a dream last night. In his dream, it was about aliens and it was our family (and others? idk) standing in a field, and we were waiting to be sucked up I guess, and he did. Then he told us that they weren't bad aliens, but that they wanted to make us more intelligent! Guys, this is crazy Months back I was reading "The three waves of volunteers and the new earth," and "The custodians," by dolores cannon, who channeled many many people and heard the same stories over and over again about things like this. And the story was basically that. Before, I didn't fully believe in this. Now my mind is set in that there's definitely more to the story. Any insights?? this is so cool.

@Serotoninluv Haha! Of course!

@Serotoninluv Maybe. And yes, definitely.

@Serotoninluv Okay, I understand. I will look into myself for answers.

@Serotoninluv Haha, hell yeah. What do you mean by this? Haha!! that would be so cool if I was linked into this.

Wow!! really good idea. Thanks!! I'm super excited!

@Stakres I don't think that's all there is to it.

Plus all he does is watch scary movies and play video games!! like first person shooter. He usually tells us his dreams and their either about zombies or horror stuff. This is like completely out of context.

@seeking_brilliance It sounds too coincidental for me. Maybe for others in different circumstances or haven't read the books. But it may.

I have multiple days worth of dreams, I'm just gonna write it all in one reply. 1/21-1/22 Night. A dream that I think I'm on a plane? I kept planing ways to get people to like me. Reflection: Nothing to reflect about. 1/22-1/23 Night. I was playing on the game boy and me and my stepbrother were in the same room. I wanted to play more than one game but he got mad and ripped the game away. I got mad and started yelling and being upset. he went to tell on me. My stepmom came down and I told her what happened (to defend myself). She said that someone is going to come and we need to tell them. Another: I went to this one house full of a group of people and they were *my handwriting was so bad that I lost this part*. They had set up a bunch of recording equipment. They were stoner type people. The mom came home and I was sitting there while she *watched?* us all. She went after *someone* first. Then, the son of her went after her. They eventually went upstairs where the mother was killing the son. I was standing there by the door as I heard it. I got really scared at that part and bolted away outside. Also, somehow I got a bloody knife on my hand but idk why I had it. I'm pretty sure I was clueless as to why I had it in the dream also. So I ran and ran until the end of the street while I kept looking behind me. Nobody seemed to be following me. I found a barn and was hiding in there for a min. I was gonna hide my knife but decided not to because what if they found it? so then I went to keep going toward my home when I woke up. Reflection: Well I'm pretty sure this has something to do with the trauma of my mom and me wanting to leave her and escape her. T Questions: Why do I have the knife? 1/23-1/24 Night. Dream 1: A dream that I spilled my lava lamp. My cat was next to me. The shower head also broke. Dream 2: My grandma providing me with 150 dollars. She wanted me (and advocated) for me to use it for fun. Dream 3: I accidentally hit a car from driving too far to the right on the road. It was into their driveway. They were really wealthy and had a huge family. There was a point where I saw one of the workers at my work there, and we started dancing together. Dream 4: I was with a group of people talking about psychedelics and spirituality. It seems that most of these dreams are just reflections of my inner mind, or unconscious as I filter through and heal. Also, I was trying to use a dream concept called Dream Incubation: influencing your dreams through the thoughts and images you have just before falling asleep. It seems that I don't need to worry about doing that, though since I already know what my dreams will consist of. Although, I may still experiment with this idea. Also, I have been using the idea from @Serotoninluv of reality checks. I have been doing them sporadically but I keep forgetting. Improvisation: I am going to lucid dream before I astral project.

@modmyth do it! Would love to see the lucid dreaming community grow

@Serotoninluv Haha, no, but I will start. That will definitely help. Lucid dreaming seems pretty amazing. @seeking_brilliance haha okay

@seeking_brilliance I'm not sure. I don't want to do that haha. I know it'll protect me but I seek awakening, which = letting go of shame. I think this was my ego trying to protect itself. the blunt wouldn't have been there in the first place IRL lol. Maybe in cases of danger, like that, trust the ego? idk. seeking awakening = no ego though, and acceptance of danger.

I've been dealing with it also. I suggest to let it permeate your body as it sees fit. It's a creative and healing force. It's been a bit rocky for me, but that's because of my past. If it's coming up for you now, it's probably meant to. I suggest to clean up your diet, get into body relaxation/yoga, and other recommendations that are online (I'm no expert by far) But yeah, you'll be fine, even though it can seem likewise.

Where would you recommend? I haven't found any major threads that speak about it.

1/19 - 1/20. Dreams, no lucidity. Astral projection? I had a dream where I was walking toward my dads old house, and the world looked different. It's hard to describe, but it was like a beautiful filter over the world. After that, I saw myself at the end of the driveway looking toward the house when I saw an old man looking at me. He just blankly stared at me. This is actually kind of weird now that I think about it, because he has been in dreams before just looking at me. I wonder what kind of significance this could have? Reflection: I'm not sure what this could mean. Another dream/astral projection??: Well, in this one I astral projected I think. Astral projected in a dream? I woke up in a BED (I usually sleep on a couch) in the astral realm, flying. and I remember deciding to go through the bed, and I did until I reached the bottom of it. I remember how it felt to go through it and how the bottom bed springs felt. After that, I went all the way up (the house I was in was two story, although my house is one story) and out of the house altogether. Then I woke up. When I try to stay in the astral realm (which I did) it seems like my astral body can't help but fuse with my physical one and wake up. Reflection: Not really sure what to say. Questions: Was I astral projecting or dreaming? LOL this one's a great one. So I was at work and someone brought a blunt. I smoked it (more than I should've at work. The managers were talking about work stuff but I was too high to pay attention to it. Sooo, I went outside out of fear. Someone (who's face I don't recognize) came out and tried to help me. He had water with him AND the blunt, and I wanted water to wash my eyes out. Then he said that I didn't need water, while burning out the blunt in the water (the blunt ashes infected the water) and he said that I need to connect with my ego so it could take control, then I'd be fine. LIKE LMAO WTF. (I am going through the Awakening process) Reflection: My ego trying to seduce me toward following what it has to say? (probably because authenticity is dangerous to it, and being authentic about weed would be dangerous, especially in a work environment). But yeah I also got caught for smoking weed before and there is a level of fear and shame that comes with that. I had two more, but my handwriting was really bad in my dream journal (physical copy) so I can barely read it. oh well. Yeah, I woke up a lot during the night lol.

1/18 - 1/19. Dreams, no lucidity. I had a dream about me being with 3 friends and us going to the shop. It was like a video game, in that when we navigated the world it was like a Pokemon game, in that you'd be in 3rd person. In the shop, it was first person. So we went into the shop. I was looking at a camera but I decided not to buy, while one of my friends bought a galaxy phone. But then, there was a malicious character that wanted to steal our stuff at the house. But for some reason, I stopped playing myself and played him going into my friends house and then eventually going toward the main character's (mine's). I remember going back towards my house, eventually going there, and when we were inside I KNEW that he was coming/was coming near but I didn't tell my friends because I thought they would think I would be weird for playing as two characters. Reflection: I'm not too sure on this one. Maybe its due to reluctance on my end toward talking about nondual concepts? There was another dream, I don't remember the content of it but it somehow showed me how to remove subconscious negativity. You do it by changing the unconscious, and the conscious is changed by the subconscious. Another dream that night: I was walking toward one of my old schools, and a wild dog started to come after me by my old school. Also, one of my old stoner friends was on my mind. I know that I was doing something before that happened, but I cannot recall. Reflection: Fear of dogs.

@Average Investor Thanks for the tips! I'll keep them in mind. That's pretty cool also. My reason: Creative outlet. Also, to have more time to work on myself. I haven't done much research into dream work but I'm sure that there's stuff to do.

It is true, I think, that a lot of work needs to be done alone. For personal development, picking up skills, etc. Although, it is true that collaboration is important too. Collaboration creates video games, movies, etc. Our society is focused on the self, which you have said. To put it in better light: I think it is good because it inspires YOU to work on skills and expertise, nobody else can really do that for you. Obviously, there is room for improvement. But there always is.

@seeking_brilliance I think so, once I woke up, body asleep mind awake, although there was nothing haunting me lol. I was about to astral project but i had a lot of fear so I wasn't able to. Thanks! I'm going off of the book "Lucid dreams in 30 days: the creative sleep program". I've also started recording dreams in a dream journal.

Love the content! This inspires me to make my own and start lucid dreaming / astral projecting

Good music choices!

@Average Investor I'll keep it in mind! Good luck on your journey!!
