My Dream Story.

[Princess Arabia]

 I took a nap earlier today while watching the YT Channel Emerson Non-duality. (Yeah, yeah let's hear it - non-duality bullshit). Anyway, while I was napping, I dreamt that Emerson (the channel host), visited me at my home. I was like, this is cool; and we started casually chatting about non-duality stuff. In the dream he looked the exact same way wearing those nerdy glasses he wears with his chubby round face.

I fell asleep while watching an episode of his greatest introductions and i could hear his voice in the dream. While we were chatting, I kept asking him questions, but he just kept on chatting. I would say, let me tell you about my glimpse, but he just kept on chatting. He grabbed a pillow and laid on the floor and I would chime in with my take on things and he would keep talking about what he felt like talking about completely ignoring my questions or whatever I said. 

He kept on talking; and I kept saying to myself how he's so different from his onscreen appearance because he just sounds like a fucking parrot that just keeps going on and on and on without giving me a chance to talk. I kept on asking different questions and he just wouldn't answer them; he kept on going and going to the point where I got frustrated and said fuck this, he's a fraud and he just doesn't have any answers, and doesn't know shit and doesn't care about what I have to say. It was so annoying.

THEN I WOKE UP. Emerson was still on the laptop, which was next to my bed, yapping away. That's when I realized I was dreaming the entire time. That's when I realized why he wasn't answering me and why he just kept on talking. I was dreaming all this shit. It seemed so real. It all happened in my head. I didn't go anywhere, nor was I talking to anyone. I woke up to him still talking about this shit. I started laughing uncontrollably. I felt like such an idiot. Cursing him out in my head when he wasn't even real; only in the dream. It was all too real.

That's what's happening here folks. It's all hallucinations. Nothing ever moved. Nothing is really happening. Everything appearing out of nowhere. It's not even in your head because there's no head. There's no mind, no reality, no real experiences, no other, no real life, no teaching, nothing to understand, nothing known, no location, nowhere, no place, boundless, not graspable, no time, nothing to wake up from because it's all empty. All stories. All ideas. All of it. No one gets it. It's unescapable. There's no one to wake up because it's all a dream within a dream. It's not really a dream but I have to call it something. It's a mystery. I don't know what it is and i don't know anything for real. All knowing is false including this post. This is just a story within a story and there's nothing else. 

It's not about there's no one here, noone there, nothing is happening nothing exist etc, it's about it's all just a dream. Even awakening and enlightenment, it's all within the dream. There's no liberation, no freedom, because that is meaning and means something to be liberated from and to be free from. There's nothing outside of this. No one knows, not even me what this is. It's magic, it's extraordinary and ordinary, it's not everything because there's actually nothing. It's not this because this implies that. It's nothing you can imagine because that which you imagine it to be is also being hallucinated. These are just words. All made up. I'm not going to butter this shit up and i don't care what anyone says, THERE'S NOTHING REALLY HAPPENING.

Nothing changes, life goes on, suffering and pain, happiness and joy unfulfillment and fulfilment. Nothing is going anywhere and all i can say is THIS IS UTTERLY MAGICAL. I didn't see through anything because there's nothing outside of this to see through. Yes, there's me, you, other, a world, experiences, our life, drama, fighting, war, earthquakes, all of it; but it's all just appearances. Just like how Emerson appeared in my dream. I don't know how it's done and none of us will ever figure it out, because there's nothing in a dream to figure out.

That's all folks.

Here's the video I was watching. It's 21/2hrs long compiled of his greatest introductions.

Wrong. I get it. I’ve had this before. Numerous times. Why everybody always says no one else gets it is beyond me? I get a hell of a lot that people say on this forum. But they always think it happened to me and ‘no one gets it’. Well I do get what you’re saying because I’ve been there

Ok, nice story. Only thing to get is that there's nothing to get and no one to get anything. There can be a resonance but not a knowing. The moment you say you know, it becomes a position. There is no position.

What difference does it make if reality is a dream or there is nowhere to go? Those are labels that you put on reality but they don't bring you closer to what reality is. The only way is to open yourself to what reality is, and as reality is you, open yourself, drop all the veils until the bottomless hole of reality smiles at you, look at it without looking away and open yourself to it, and during for a brief moment, be it. Then perceive the flow that emerges, and dissolve your identity in it. It's a matter about its/your quality not about what it is.

I think it’s quite obvious for oneself when the sense of self is there vs not , and in this case it seems to still be there so what’s the difference before and after this talk

[Ishanga]

The fact of the matter is You've gone under the spell of some Ideology, what You say is half true I would say, but its not the whole story,,someday You'll wake up to it...I'm not saying I have the whole truth either, at least not experientially, but I know the theories of reality well, and its not non duality!

It's not about sense of self or no sense of self. Whose determining if there's a self or not. When you're dreaming at night, do you try to get rid of the one dreaming. Same thing. If you are, you're still within the dream trying to get rid of the self. This is not about that. The whole fucking thing is a dream that's not really happening. Just like your dream at night. I say dream because it's the closest word i can think of along with hallucination. 

The self cannot get rid of the self. There's really noself to begin with. Your dream isn't really happening, is it. Neither is this. There's no one to wake up because the awakening is part of the hallucination.

So there’s no sense of self for  you anymore? It’s very relevant I’d say. Maybe absolutely there’s no difference but when I sense myself as existing it’s very obvious the veil is still here . That’s why when I listen to non dual speakers like that guy I can sense how it’s different for me and them because I still have a sense of self that veils what they’re “pointing” to

There's no getting closer to what reality is. Reality is the dream. Opening up is the dream. The veil is the dream. The perception is the dream. The identity is the dream. The quality is the dream. You are not dreaming because there is no you. It's just the dream. Me telling you this is just a story within the dream. There's nothing but stories.

There's no waking up to anything. What's there to wake up to. Reality? Reality is the dream. The ideology is the dream. You saying I'm under some ideology spell is the dream. There's no escaping the dream. It's all there is. Non-duality is the dream. There's no separation. It's all encompassing. There's no one to wake up. The waking up is the dream.

If You just for a second see a bit of the hypocrisy that Your your writing here. you jus wrote in the OP that You had a "Dream" that felt Real, then You woke Up, lol.. Its all real, the brain does not know the difference btwn something vividly imagined and a real experience, so in one way the dream is real for You Subjectively.  Objectively everything is Real, but Real on certain level of Reality. In some Hinduism they say anything that is Impermanent is not Real, so Our Bodies, Our Thoughts, our Dreams, our Buildings and all that sort of stuff, anything that will deteriorate and/or Die is impermanent and therefore not Real or Reality, and in a certain way that is True in an Objective Way of viewing it, but Subjectively it is not so..So as I've always been saying, there are levels to Reality, Gross to Subtle, Your too focused on the Subtle realm, we need balance to know all of Reality and that is the goal of all Spiritual Paths and Traditions..

just don't think about reality. Realize that absolutely nothing you think about reality makes any sense, since that thought is something that is happening within reality, then your mind empties and you open to reality. reality mixes with you and you are reality.

you have to let go of the mind completely, as soon as you try to capture it with the mind, reality becomes opaque. You have to open yourself to the absolute freedom of being mindless. Everything, absolutely, is outside the mind, the mind is an illusion, an apparition, a software. Life is outside the mind, clarity, light. that is reality, and it is impossible to think

How are there goals and paths when there's no time and space. You called my words hypocrisy. That's just a label just like the word dream is. Doesn't matter.

You're trying to open up to words using words. There's no mind to let go of. That's just a thought. Thoughts aren't real There's nothing outside the mind. It's just what appears to happen. All you're doing is nothing. Everything appears out of nothing, which I explained what this nothing is before. You say it's difficult and you're still here talking about this openness forever. I wonder why.

because it is something very difficult to do for me and for most. I get it sometimes and only partly. The human mind has many layers, many veils. We are trying to open perception in a total way, enlightenment. mind without barriers, absolutely open. Do you think this is a fantasy, or an idea? It's not like that, it's real. This, now, is more than it seems, and less too. You have to open your mind and heart completely so that the absolute manifests itself clearly. I guarantee you it is extremely difficult.

If One is Identified and Trapped in the Mind, then there is Time and Space, that is the arena of the Mind, always Remembering and Imagining, but if You have more Intense Awareness and Consciousness, then you will not be identified with the Mind and not trapped by it, therefore Time no longer exists for You, Your Here and Now, a never ending Moment, this is very empowering but it has to be balanced, if not then Your not going to function within a Society (which is okay too). 

So it all depends on where one is, levels again present here too.. This is what it means to be Human, Free Will or the Ability to Respond to what is happening within You and Around You sooner or later has to be dealt with, if not one will live in fantasy's or ideologies which may lead them astray to more suffering or worse a lost and wasted Life..
