The dream is controlled by our true self

4 posts in this topic

Hey I posted this on the general one and thought it could go here too. Not my quote but this is what I have come to understand about the dream of life. What do y’all think about this?


“If life is a game, if you’re just a character of your own true self thought creation, and this world is one big dreamscape, hologram, or quantum field where you play out various adventures, then how do you go about changing it? By understanding who you are in relation to the rest of the world. You become confident through truth so that there is no fear when you venture out and behave in a different way that will net you different results from what you are used to getting in life. So what is that truth that will make you fearless? Goddess Consciousness. Nothing bad will happen because bad no longer exists when you understand that you are being controlled by true self who only wants to live life to the fullest”

This doesn't happen to me so much anymore, but it still happens, and led to an interesting experience.When I'm asleep, sometimes my brain will hallucinate that I'm looking through my eyelids at the room I'm sleeping in, or my brain will hallucinate that I'm using my phone.
During these hallucinations, I'm immobilised and can't move. 

For a while, I didn't know if I was hallucinating or actually seeing through my eyelids. It found out that I was actually dreaming/hallucinating it. Because, during one of the times I was "looking through my eyelids", instead of being immobilised, it turned into a full on dream where I could move around.
My brain seems to have a good stored memory of my bedroom, and it loves replaying it while I sleep. 

From the 1st second of this dream, I was lucid dreaming. I was in my bedroom, my house. I was amazed at how real everything felt, despite knowing it was a dream. Because it's a lucid dream, I could do what I wanted as the "god" of that world, and I contemplated how this wouldn't work in real life. I'll omit all the extra details, and just say that the entire dream I was doing things, touchings things, amazed that this wasn't real life because of how real it felt. 
It felt so real to me I was getting worried that events which happened in the dream version of my house were coinciding to events happening in my house in real life 
_ _ 
Now to the relevant point. I panicked when I was in the dream and thought this: "What if I'm actually awake in the real world, but my perception is this dream? What if I'm awake and acting in the real world, yet I'm stuck in this dream?"

And after waking up from my dream, I found that thought slightly scary in applying to real life, because I can't prove it false. I can't prove it false that my perception could be completely detached from another level of reality. For all I know, I'm in a dream world perception right now, completely ignorant of some real world transpiring. 

"The dream is controlled by our true self" that's just a fantasy which will get in the way (and everything I've wrote in this post is fantasy), unless you think you've been directly conscious of it and seen it.

Hark ye yet again — the little lower layer. All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event — in the living act, the undoubted deed — there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask! How can the prisoner reach outside except by thrusting through the wall? To me, the white whale is that wall, shoved near to me. Sometimes I think there's naught beyond. But 'tis enough.
