Do you sometimes catch yourself Dreaming?

[Vincent S]

Do you catch yourself dreaming? Are you aware that: That life of yours is just another dream, within a field of Infinite dreams? But you are holding this dream more dear so you have a ground to stand on?
This is just pure magic. Look at "your" hands. Look at everything around you. Its just pure magic. Its amazing. There is nothing here. But yet it seems and "appears" to be "something" "here". Everything is made of the same substance: Consciousness and Awareness.

This cannot be "experienced" or summoned through an intellectual process. The mind has to be silent for this to be seen/witnessed. But yet, what is processing this "Nothing" in to "Something", is precisely the Mind. Its so twisted... but so perfect. So beautiful.

Our attachments to thoughts, feelings, emotions, senses and our own perspective: Are precisely that which makes this dream in to a solid Reality.
But if "we" loosen up these attachments, then there wont be anything holding "your"/"our" awareness, "here". Your dream becomes looser and looser.
Question is: What is "outside" this dream? Is it just pure Nothingness?

In one of my recent trips  (20mg 2CB), I noticed reality breaking down. (Not in a dramatic way) But it was as if everything was "dissapearing" through "my" perspective. It was as if Everything I tied to this dream: Was just being erased with "me" dissapearing.
Moments before "experience" of "No-Thing" I heard a laugh with a deep voice, in slow-motion. And with my eyes closed, I looked at it, and the first thing that came to me was: Self-Deception. Gods Infinite Trick, on Her/Himself. But there was so much Love within my heart, and my hands were radiating with love and heat, that I couldnt do anything else but to laugh at that deep voice (Instead of being scared or frightened by it).
At that moment "I" dissapeared. There was nothing. No sense of I, no sense of reality, no sense of anything whatsoever. While it was happening, there were NO experience, nor any experiencer of "this" whatsoever. Not in the way we would think an experience would be.
And only when "I" came back, did "I" realize I was "gone"...

Its as if: When you are "Nothing" you dont "know" that you are "No-Thing", until "you" become "something". Then you can realize what "No-Thing" is.
Its like a superthin veil inbetween these two sides. And whenever "you" jump between the two sides, you forget completely Everything you knew from "your" previous side.

This is just pure magic.

This is when life becomes really exciting. What do I want to create and experience next?

Im aware that im dreaming with my mind and that imagination is not reality but just one aspect of it...to see that you are imagining body etc would need really high levels of conciousness and i dont see whys that important?

To let go of Identity with the dream-character, more and more. And see its true purposeless purpose. To see all layers to be hollow and not solid.
It frees you up to not get stuck in the imaginary world. But to be in it and see through it. Its as if you can see God (your true Self) in everything. In your mother, in your dog, in your food, in your garbage.
To get a bigger picture understanding for why reality was deisgned in the way it was designed. And that could free you up to experience, express and to understand your true nature, while you have a self. To understand and to cherish Love. Love for self/Self.  I guess thats just a really important thing for "me" to see.

Its really hard to put in to words. But this video will show what Im trying to convey. Its a bit long, but its defo worth watching the whole thing.

Only important if you desire to achieve conscious awareness and more mastery over shaping your experience of life. In the same way that once you become lucid in a dream while asleep, you gain more ability to mold the dream.

I have, quite literally, caught my self in the process of dreaming, or entering into a dream. Really, a dream is just a thought or imagination that is extremely immersive, to the point where you start entering into it and identifying with it. Maybe this becomes easier to do during sleep, since you drift off and lose your normal bodily senses that you so often identify with.

I have noticed similarities between the imaginations and thoughts we project onto waking reality, and the process of dreaming. They both are things we imagine and identify with. Maybe you could even argue it is the exact same process, just to different degrees.

@Vincent S Well I don't know if this is necessarily relevant, but I have trance like states where I've gone into other realms and then "snapped" back to this one.  It's strange in the sense that I dont realize that I've drifted off "somewhere" until I snap back into this reality that I am most of the time.  Some kind of fifth state of consciousness....a variant of infinite variants.  It's so fucking mind blowing to contemplate that I've actually gone other places.

@Vincent S dream charachter will always be here but its seen as dream so its losing power...while dream world is different to truly see thats is a dream its not enough to see dream character and mild level of conciousness its a high levels that doesnt depend on if you are suffering or not...

@Ramu Sounds like a fun ride ?

I would guess its because that “somewhere” is so radically different to this reality, its impossible to bring anything back with you. And if you do, you have been lucky enough to slip through a crack/bug. Otherwise you get “Neuralyzed”  before you come back “here”. Men in black  style ?

@Vincent S In addition when I drift off to the other realm...the colors are crisp and vibrant and things are somewhat more sane and relaxed than in a typical dream at night.  I can usually travel after 45 minutes of meditation and then after I do a certain deep breathing exercise...then I sit quietly and away I go.

I need to start working on my breathwork. I dont do it as often as I would want to  : /

If you want to be conscious of yourself dreaming, it's really simple. Your waking world experience is a dream you just become aware that you're dreaming while awake. And then you'll be aware when you're in sleeping dreams that you're dreaming as well. As long as you fool yourself into thinking that your mind isn't constructing your experiences, then you'll be lost in the dream.
