• Just Dreams... Or Maybe Even Parallel Worlds??

    ### - Very strange dream just before the new year, so indeed odd I even
    went back to it twice on that occasion just to make sure! :)

    It began as a seemingly quite ordinary WILD; fiding myself in a
    busy-enough looking modern city albeit one I'd never been to or seen
    before, I was having a good look around but it wasn't long before I
    noticed some very strange inconsistencies in the way things were all set
    up...

    E.g., there were roads and pavements everywhere and people milling about shopping etc but no cars, instead there appeared to be some kind of busy
    public transport system that consisted of strange large-ish helicopters
    with multiple propellers that took off and landed just about anywhere and everywhere... Everything else seemed normal-enough, the whole place was
    very clean & tidy, and neatly laid out, the shops and streets were busy
    with seemingly all very happy smiling people, it was warm and the sun was shining and I was getting very nice vibes from this place... The 'reality'
    of it all being such that, as usual, I had quite a hard time reminding
    myself that this was all only a dream...

    Quite a shock was in store for me, however, when I realised that i
    couldn't hear any music playing anywhere in any form and no one was
    wearing any headphones or anything, there weren't even any mobile phones!
    How strange I thought!

    At that point I woke up in bed and lay there mulling-over the dream for a
    few minutes, there was definitely something very odd about that place
    although I couldn't quite put my finger on it? There was something very different about it, but what?? The term 'parallel world' kept going
    through my mind!

    Intrigued, and only a few moments later, I deliberately went back into
    that same dream again, this time more prepared to check it all out in more detail...

    Back in the dream, I deliberately spoke to a young guy this time and asked
    him why there wasn't any music in this place (fully realising he was only
    a DC I knew I was really only asking this question of my own subconscious
    heh) but he looked at me kinda strange and asked me what I'd meant by
    'music', I laughed and sang a few lines from some old song as an example, whereon he appeared dumbfounded like he'd never heard anything like it in
    his life and I found myself actually trying to explain (to myself I though
    + even laughed at the very idea...) to him about music and ipods, and even mobile phones, all of which he didn't seem to even recognise as an idea
    but appeared completely enthralled with the concept and eagerly wanted to
    know more...

    We were walking then together down quite a busy street filled with people
    and busy shoppers and I walked into one of these shops to have a look
    around, I then watched as people picked items up and took them to a
    counter to pay for them and noticed that they weren't using money but a
    kind of barter-system instead? Curious now I walked up to the counter and
    asked the girl behind it if had any cigarette papers for sale and she
    produced some, I then asked her what she would like in exchange for it and
    she asked me what did I have? Whereon I put my hand in my pocket to see
    what, if anything, was there... and to my utter surprise pulled out a
    small bag of green weed!?

    How about this, I said, would this do? Whereon she started examining it closely, declaring that it was kinda okaaay, but wasn't very sweet?? She
    then pointed out some she had under the counter and showed me that it was
    very fresh and also very sweet compared to mine, which now looked kinda
    dry and not at all like the sweet sticky thing she was showing me! (i
    could almost taste it heh)

    Everything about this place was different I concluded, the people here
    were nice and looked well groomed, the place itself was modern & clean
    with no rubbish in the streets, everyone looked healthy & robust + I could
    tell they obviously had very good taste in smoking mixtures to boot (I was indeed chuckling to myself at this point about the weed even being 'in'
    this dream hehehe...)

    I guess I'd been wandering around and checking it all out in some
    fascination for about an hour all told, before again suddenly finding
    myself back in bed, the more I thought about it though the stranger (and
    more unusual) it all became, until in the end I just couldn't deny that
    this dream was definitely in a consistent class of its own? Some kind of parallel world then that was only very slightly different to our own
    albeit distinctly so. I've definitely been in some very real-seeming
    places before but they were all just normal-enough places, even very
    beautiful places, and always so real-seeming that I had to keep reminding myself it was still only a dream by occasionally proving it to myself
    somehow, usually by hovering just above the ground and/or by just
    zooming-off somewhere... but they were not particularly unusual for all
    that...

    This place, however, smacked of something else again and the term 'parallel-world' kept going though my mind over & over until I was semi-convinced that this is what it maybe really was! I've never had these thoughts before about any of the dreams I've had previously + I don't know
    why it suddenly then came up like that completely out of the blue and
    thrust itself upon me!

    Am not sure I quite accept the idea of multiple universes and parallel
    worlds, except perhaps in theory, but this is the first time I've ever
    really considered it to have maybe actually occurred...

    Fascinating! :)

    ### - who knows, a new/extra development maybe of moving-on from just
    ordinary dreams to something a little deeper and/or maybe even more real
    who knows, plus will defo go back there again though, methinks they had civilisation well-sussed in that place, everything clean and tidy but not sterile, lots of greenery around and throughout and bustling with very healthy-looking peeps, all the shops and market stalls brimming over with
    loads of food and vegetables, no money involved + step-on/step-off free transport (i even took a ride on one of their flying helio-buses heh and
    looked at everything from the air), also went in this guys apartment and
    looked it over and it was modern & clean and fresh + had plenty of space,
    and enough technology to be useful etc except for the total lack of music
    in any form (how weird is that??) it was a lovely place! and a pretty nice world too if that's what is was...

    plus what if it's true?? that other dimensions and worlds really exist and
    the way to access them 'is' via dreaming! wouldn't that be cool?



    soon you will be farting in a new way too.

    ### - ahahaha! :D funny



    (look don Juan i'm changing, i'm changing) lol!

    ### - pffffft...

    there ya go bud, here's your change sir haha :)

    plus get out of the new road if ya's can't lend a hand?

    oh the timessss they's are a-changin'

    who knows :)

    It is quite possible, bc in one of my dreams i found myself as a pupil
    in one of their schools physics classes and they taught totally
    different physics and maths which i barely understood, last dream i had
    that i was presented to some beings/people that kinda started biting me
    and i could feel them and almost woke up in this world.
    Try touching things or eating, i also once ate a fruit that looked like
    an odd banana but tasted a million times better. Or try smoking their
    weed to maybe "Feel" or "Smell" and experience the reality of these
    worlds. Remember "hitler-world" i once told about here?

    ### - i could certainly smell/taste their weed haha (sickly sweet but delicious, kind of soft hash-covered gold on dark green/brown) and was tempted to actually try some but didn't want to waste any time... but
    how to tell if it's real or not or just another projection?

    it certainly felt real + all my instincts agreed/screamed at me that
    this dream was somehow very different to normal, even to the point of considering it to be a parallel world in the dream itself (first time
    i've ever thought that while it's happening) otoh maybe they were all
    real (they always seem very real compared to the places experienced
    during a dild) but have been putting this all down to the fact that
    WILDs are more lucid than average, that higher lucidity = more
    real-seeming + tactile projections (seems reasonable) ultra-lucidity resulting in ultra-real illusions...

    so it's still only a guessing-game from an instinct-alone pov, am always
    very sceptical in dreaming... oddly enough, i had the feeling that i
    wouldn't want to live there, that it was still a somehow primitive
    society albeit more idyllic and harmonious than ours... the people there
    were simpletons albeit it very happy & healthy ones living in a kind of bustling utopia, they had technology (electricity in their homes and
    standard home appliances + powerful engines for those helio-buses for example) but they seemed to have got the balance right so their science wasn't over-emphasised and was more in the background as being 'part' of
    life rather than leading it; they were 'life-driven' rather than science-driven and that seemed healthy... there just didn't seem to be
    any depth to them than this surface-life they were living, a more sane version of wallyworld perhaps + no sign of philosophy apart from the
    simple one they were actually living...

    will definitely have to visit them again to see more + maybe next time
    i'll bring them an ipod hahaha :)

    It's not all in your head (regarding projections)!

    Only information and info process exist aka equations.
    Giving away copies of your dream manual was the variable.
    All books enter public domain eventually, you accelerated the process.
    The underlying geometry that produces time and space computates your manual.
    It is an information package perceived differently by each reader's processing. So IMO you perceived a bifurcation, or data fork in the pathways of processing. Writing becomes addictive in that sense, create a realm, share it, create again.
    My core realms I never share. To own one secret realm is an insurance policy

    A book I am studying.

    imho describes it ;)

    "In the life of Guatama Buddha we notice him constantly saying that he is
    the 25th Buddha.
    The twenty-four before him are unknown to history, although the Buddha
    known to history
    must have built upon foundations laid by them. The highest men are calm,
    silent and unknown.
    They are the men who really know the power of thought; they are sure that
    even if they go
    into a cave and close the door and simply think 5 true thoughts and then
    pass away, these
    5 thoughts of theirs will live throughout eternity. Indeed such thoughts
    of theirs will
    penetrate through the mountains, cross the oceans and travel through the
    world. They will
    enter deep into human hearts and brains and raise up men and women who
    will give them
    practical expression in the workings of human life... The Buddhas and the Christs will
    go from place to place preaching these truths... These Sattvika men are
    too near the
    Lord to be active, and to fight, to be working, struggling, preaching and
    doing good,
    as they say, here on Earth to humanity.

    I understand (dig) that type of info transaction.
    I'm like that with effective toy models for getting the cosmos to answer.
    They had a participants choice multi timeline movie on Netflix with many branches and endings. A new form/style of entertainment "Black Mirror"
    similar to "Mr Nobody" but the viewer chooses the pathway. All pathways
    are filmed, and dead lines let you go back to a reset point, that restarts
    with a fast framed review. Sort of felt like scripting a lucid dream.

    Excellent, dreams are a window to eternity.
    Sometimes they tell a person exactly how to get from one place to another.

    I wasn't thinking of the prime tools but more of a series
    of information maps, processes, and outposts.

    but

    Yeah, a form of creative communication between a one-individual and
    a sea of alls-groups. Sometimes climbing the ladder to great heights
    where patterns and landscapes can be discerned.

    I sort of precog this next rhythum.

    this is how i rightly or wrongly view it (the underlying process) based on this included quote from henry miller's: Air-conditioned Nightmare' which imho describes it ;)

    The transmission of ideas and thought landscapes is noble.

    ### - agreed, plus actually feel quite privileged to have been
    instrumental (i.e., to have been used) in that transmission, something
    that genuinely does something to lift the veil on a lost + more empowering knowledge whereby people can now, more competently, guide themselves
    instead of remaining dependent on knowledge second-hand/hearsay... the 'midway-point', and the awareness arrived at in that place, is however, a
    new addition to it all, one that to my knowledge hasn't been
    mentioned/defined before except perhaps in cryptic form as in cc's dark
    sea of awareness for instance...

    that: knowledge comes to you out of nowhere in that position (silent knowledge?) is very accurate, and as such represents a more 'practical'
    reason & goal for those attempting lucid dreaming to aim for lest it
    remain of mere entertainment value only ;)

    ### - Very strange dream just before the new year, so indeed odd I even
    went back to it twice on that occasion just to make sure! :)

    It began as a seemingly quite ordinary WILD; fiding myself in a
    busy-enough looking modern city albeit one I'd never been to or seen
    before, I was having a good look around but it wasn't long before I
    noticed some very strange inconsistencies in the way things were all set >up...

    E.g., there were roads and pavements everywhere and people milling about >shopping etc but no cars, instead there appeared to be some kind of busy >public transport system that consisted of strange large-ish helicopters
    with multiple propellers that took off and landed just about anywhere and >everywhere... Everything else seemed normal-enough, the whole place was
    very clean & tidy, and neatly laid out, the shops and streets were busy
    with seemingly all very happy smiling people, it was warm and the sun was >shining and I was getting very nice vibes from this place... The 'reality'
    of it all being such that, as usual, I had quite a hard time reminding
    myself that this was all only a dream...

    Quite a shock was in store for me, however, when I realised that i
    couldn't hear any music playing anywhere in any form and no one was
    wearing any headphones or anything, there weren't even any mobile phones!
    How strange I thought!

    At that point I woke up in bed and lay there mulling-over the dream for a
    few minutes, there was definitely something very odd about that place >although I couldn't quite put my finger on it? There was something very >different about it, but what?? The term 'parallel world' kept going
    through my mind!

    Intrigued, and only a few moments later, I deliberately went back into
    that same dream again, this time more prepared to check it all out in more >detail...

    Back in the dream, I deliberately spoke to a young guy this time and asked >him why there wasn't any music in this place (fully realising he was only
    a DC I knew I was really only asking this question of my own subconscious >heh) but he looked at me kinda strange and asked me what I'd meant by >'music', I laughed and sang a few lines from some old song as an example, >whereon he appeared dumbfounded like he'd never heard anything like it in
    his life and I found myself actually trying to explain (to myself I though
    + even laughed at the very idea...) to him about music and ipods, and even >mobile phones, all of which he didn't seem to even recognise as an idea
    but appeared completely enthralled with the concept and eagerly wanted to >know more...

    We were walking then together down quite a busy street filled with people
    and busy shoppers and I walked into one of these shops to have a look
    around, I then watched as people picked items up and took them to a
    counter to pay for them and noticed that they weren't using money but a
    kind of barter-system instead? Curious now I walked up to the counter and >asked the girl behind it if had any cigarette papers for sale and she >produced some, I then asked her what she would like in exchange for it and >she asked me what did I have? Whereon I put my hand in my pocket to see
    what, if anything, was there... and to my utter surprise pulled out a
    small bag of green weed!?

    How about this, I said, would this do? Whereon she started examining it >closely, declaring that it was kinda okaaay, but wasn't very sweet?? She
    then pointed out some she had under the counter and showed me that it was >very fresh and also very sweet compared to mine, which now looked kinda
    dry and not at all like the sweet sticky thing she was showing me! (i
    could almost taste it heh)

    Everything about this place was different I concluded, the people here
    were nice and looked well groomed, the place itself was modern & clean
    with no rubbish in the streets, everyone looked healthy & robust + I could >tell they obviously had very good taste in smoking mixtures to boot (I was >indeed chuckling to myself at this point about the weed even being 'in'
    this dream hehehe...)

    I guess I'd been wandering around and checking it all out in some
    fascination for about an hour all told, before again suddenly finding
    myself back in bed, the more I thought about it though the stranger (and
    more unusual) it all became, until in the end I just couldn't deny that
    this dream was definitely in a consistent class of its own? Some kind of >parallel world then that was only very slightly different to our own
    albeit distinctly so. I've definitely been in some very real-seeming
    places before but they were all just normal-enough places, even very >beautiful places, and always so real-seeming that I had to keep reminding >myself it was still only a dream by occasionally proving it to myself >somehow, usually by hovering just above the ground and/or by just
    zooming-off somewhere... but they were not particularly unusual for all >that...

    This place, however, smacked of something else again and the term >'parallel-world' kept going though my mind over & over until I was >semi-convinced that this is what it maybe really was! I've never had these >thoughts before about any of the dreams I've had previously + I don't know >why it suddenly then came up like that completely out of the blue and
    thrust itself upon me!

    Am not sure I quite accept the idea of multiple universes and parallel >worlds, except perhaps in theory, but this is the first time I've ever
    really considered it to have maybe actually occurred...

    Fascinating! :)
