Consciousness And Dreams?

[Marinus]

@Leo Gura If you know something about the connection of consciousness with dreams, then please read this.

 

I just woke up and I experienced something very creepy. I'm very good at remembering dreams, but this very realistic. First I just dreamed, nothing special. I dreamed about a forest and a lake with lots of people. I was chasing a friend. Eventually I got him and I woke up. I was in a drowsy state and I had the idea to ask that friend (in my dream) why he ran away. So I got back in to my dream. I asked him ''Why did you run away?'' he said to me ''I was trying to protect you''. and then the creepy thing happened. 

Suddenly my head started to move in shocks ( in real life) and I heard something that sounded like barking, but a dog sounds different. The sound was inside my head! I also heard a mans voice, but I couldn't hear it clearly. It felt like there was a presence beside my bed and I thought there might be a criminal or man besides me. But I stayed calm and thought this was ridiculous. Whenever I think about it, chills get over my whole body. I am even scared to close my eyes. In an earlier dream today I was a burglar.

This isn't the first time. I experienced another event months ago, but that time my whole body shook and my vision blurred for a couple of seconds. Lately I'm more involved with enlightenment, so I know that my experience is my own creation, this gives me some relief. 

• In Leo's video ''the dark side of meditation'' he also talked about barking, but is this the same thing?
• Can someone please explain this to me? Otherwise I would be afraid to sleep again.

 

I only experience weird shit while being in the sleep twilight phase.  I also used to try astral projection, so that might be connected too.

Yep. Be preparer for some weird stuff. I have also gone through some crazy dreams, where I could easily switch between the "me in the dream" and "the one who is dreaming". 

Some very high pitched noises came up, that kept increasing in volume. Almost blew my brains out, lol. 

The voice and presence next to your bed sounds like sleep paralysis, or something similar. Look it up. 

But don't worry man, you're okay. In the end, they're just dreams. It' a phase you're going through.

That is indeed how it felt, The weird is that I had no experience of waking up from my dream into reality when the weird stuff happened. Once I had a lucid dream and I was simultaneously being my dream character and my body while sleeping, like being two people at the same time.

Did it sound like a strong buzzing?

Indeed, it sounds like sleep paralysis now I think about it.

But I don't get this, is it because you get more control about the unconscious or about reality? Now I feel fine but when waking up all alone it is very terrifying. 

 

It is just so strange that a dream character caused this, because I made a conscious choice to ask him something.

Thanks for replying, it gives me some relief.

To be honest with you man, I have no clue what causes it. I haven't researched it properly to fully understand. I just accepted it, really. I let whatever happens, happen. 

I guess it all has to to with the fact that we raise our awareness in the waking state, and therefore we become more conscious in our dream state. But all this is just speculation, don't take my word for it

And for the high pitch sound, if I can recall, it sounded indeed like e very strong buzzing sound. It increased in pitch and volume. So this happened only at the "transition" from waking state to dream state.

I had a similar experience before sleeping after being awake for 35 hours. I softly focused on symbols of the third eye and eventually I felt energies surging to my head and BAM suddenly I heard a PLOP followed by intense buzzing. My heart was beating out of fear like if I were sprinting.

Alright, this means more research for me.

Sounds like an awesome experience to me! A scary one, but awesome

The fact that focussing on symbols in the 3th eye could have such an effect is pretty amazing imo.

@Vitamine Water Funny you say that, because that was also how I named that experience. I think it might be, because my low resistance instead of the symbols.

Take a look if you want to know my story a little bit better.

Good read man, tnx for sharing

@Vitamine Water Dude I discovered what my experience really was. It was a trigger for lucid dreaming or astral projection. I'm going to post my story and @ you there.
