Lucid up a bit.

Previous threads have sparked my interest to share my expression of another topic that has been part of the human spirit for centuries, and that is the dream realm. This critical transformation between different realities has been a loss cause in our civilization. The brain itself has no idea between what it sees and what it remembers. You (the brain) are forever locked in and out of receiving information from the external world, however we never actually can decipher the difference. One realm is a very objective lawful state, and yet the other is completely opposite. There is a very fine line between these two realities, and it is very evident that most people “seem to be sleep walking through their waking state or wake walking through their dreams.”

Taking full advantage of the knowledge that dreams are a very real realm can be beneficial to the human soul, especially if you can find the secret in combining these two opposing states (that don’t actually oppose each other at all.)
Human consciousness never ceases to exist, it is timeless and has infinite dimensions, however holds a very convincing restraint of 5 senses and 4 measly dimensions. Our eyes are a test, to see if we can see beyond what information is being transmitted to our brain’s editing room, our ears are here to give us an example of what’s whirling through space.

Unfortunately over time and conditioning through the media, our culture, religion, etc. we're beginning to pervert what reality REALLY is and what we REALLY are. Our minds are forced into a sealed box with only so many ideas and imaginative aspects to evolve from, this leaves us with little possibility to advance our souls to a higher consciousness. Remember, the brain knows no difference between what it sees and what it remembers, so by combining your waking rational ideas with your non-objective dream state you have endless possibilities.

We dream for a reason. When you drift off, you are no longer consciously receiving new information. When you are asleep it is full out sensory derivation, so your consciousness moves on. The same way it will when you die. To this day no one can give you an answer to where you “go” when you are put under anesthesia. You obviously don’t die, or do you? I suppose you would have to break down that word, die. If dying simply means your consciousness no longer in its dimensional objective human vehicle, then I suppose we die all the time, it’s just a matter of the potential to return.

All and all this is a very important aspect of this “life” that we all need to take part in. Learn to be aware of your dream states and be your own god. Live alive in this conscious ocean, and always remember to dream. Dream everyday, dream with your art and dream with your wakeskate.

brassmonkey, bro i love your posts... nothing better to enlighten the soul and mind... when i fall asleep i rarely have dreams but instead i suffer from very vivid night terrors... nightmares in which i cannot wake from by any external stimulus.... when i drift to an unconscious state and am roaming thru other dimensions am i experiencing the analogy of hell?

JeffKnox, The only hells are self-created. You are your own god/you create your own reality.

I can only guess that you live with a good deal of fear (probably subconscious) that keeps you from exploring the carefree fun side of those dimensions. You have to find the root of that fear and shatter it. Live free.

JeffKnox, Step one would be learing how to become aware of this state and explore it. PM me if you are interested in this and I will point you in some good directions for tips, and great writings to maybe jump start you in the direction you want to go.. after that, it's all yours.
