Enlightenment Experience whilst sleeping!

[cle103]

Hey guys, I just had a pretty crazy experience and I can't sleep anymore so I thought I might write a forum post about it lol. 

I've been experimenting with my dreams on and off for the last months (just for fun). I just set an intention and then see what happens (let's dream something crazy tonight, shall we? = crazy dreams, etc.). Before I went to sleep yesterday/today I set the intent to dream something beautiful and so it began (first I wanted to dream sth. else but my intuition came in and changed it for me)... 

The dream began crystal clear. I was in the same room where I am sleeping and I was looking out of the window. Then it happened. I just realized that I could get enlightened RIGHT NOW. There was no way to it. I just had to be it. In that same instance it hit me (quite literally). 

I suddenly fell flat down (or so I think) as I lost touch of my body. Then there were darkness and exploding colors. Then there was just emptiness. 

When I awoke from that period (I think I was still dreaming at this point or sth. in between) I tried to think. I had to really try actively. And the main thing I noticed was that I could not worry at all. Reason being that all thoughts of worry included the fiction of "me". Like, I couldn't do it if someone put a gun to my head. It was just a fiction. And who gets worried about a fictional character? I was still there. Nothing changed. There was just no me. 

I quite honestly don't know if at that point I was dreaming or in waking consciousness at that point as my dream was happening in the exact same room but who cares about that duality anyway. 

Then after some time my (way too excited) ego came back into effect. 

I just wanted to share that with you.

- Cheers

Thank you for sharing!

I had a no-self glimpse last week in my dream.

I was there, I was it (for one year in the dream), until thoughts started to come up and I felt very scared that I lost control over myself, then I woke up.

@Truth Addict Yeah I know that feeling haha. I had it a couple times when meditating. Literal fear of death. 

When I get scared in a dream I can decide to wake up which is cool, however when you‘re near an enlightenment experience you‘d wanna let go (easier said than done... I haven‘t been able to do that yet).
