Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) I wanted to share this experience since quite a while. SantataGamana's new book is out and deals with Lucid Dreaming & Dream Yoga. I'm eating up this book in a fast pace and it is by far one of the most fascinating books I ever read. This also inspired me to share this dream I had. Candles were formed in a circle around me. Sadhguru was sitting directly in front of me and I was in my typical cross-legged meditation posture. He gave me a mantra for each chakra. The instruction was to climb my way up from Muladhara to Sahasrara, saying each mantra once onto each chakra. The only thing I could remember about the mantras was that they were rather short. I didn't know the language, but they always seemed like one word. (Oh and btw, while I'm writing this, my stomach area is shaking uncontrollably.) So, I started chanting the mantras on Muladhara. After saying the first syllable, I was already, by far, in the deepest trance I ever witnessed. Because of this, I couldn't remember the other mantras - the only thing I could remember was to work my way up the chakras. I blabbered gibberish at each chakra, still trying somehow to chant the mantras. As I reached Saharara, I realized that I was meditating, just as I am, when I'm doing Yoga in the waking state. This means that I found myself within the same Beingness. It was as if I was meditating normally. Then I woke up, thinking "WTF DID JUST HAPPEN???". Then I woke up, realizing that it was a dream, within a dream. I was utterly shocked by the mindfuck. Then I woke up, once more, only to realize that it was a dream, within a dream, within a dream. I was speechless. Just speechless. This experience also triggered the recognization, that our "normal waking state" is just as much a dream, as the night dream is. A paradigm shift occured.

Posted November 18, 2020 hahaha wow I had a dream once, where I fell asleep in the dream, and then started lucid dreaming while in the new dream which was inside that dream. Then, when I woke up inside the dream, I stopped lucid dreaming. And then I woke up again to actual reality. Describe a thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or maybe you are still in that dream, but thinking you 'woke up' to 'actual reality' Everyone is waiting for eternity but the Shaman asks: "how about today?"

Posted November 19, 2020 @Osaid Man, the meta-levels presented throughout dreams are such a crazy brainfuck. Leaves you in deep awe about the mysterious nature of reality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
