Disregarding EGO, let me show you how you are a GOD.

That's right, you read that title exactly how it was meant to be interpreted.

Stop thinking right now.

When I speak of GOD I dont mean old man in white robes with white beard sitting in clouds passing judgement on his poor unsuspecting creation.

No I mean GOD as in the source of reality not just the creator. So what I want to share is the experience that we all have but only so few remember. And it is so hard to explain something that someone either hasnt had for a while or even if they have it they dont remember it which amounts the same thing.

I mean whats the point of being a Genius if you cant remember any of the things that make you a Genius right?

What is required is dream recall and the ability to lucid dream.

Right here some people will groan.." Nneerr! Dreams are just misfiring synapses at worst and file storage at best "

They may be all these things and more BUT as someone who experiences these things on a monthly frequency I can tell you for a FACT. It is by far the most surreal experience I have ever experienced and I have tried mind altering substances. Just to clear the air I have been having Lucid dreams since I can remember earliest was 3 or 4 years. So its not a case of one effecting the other. If anything my curiosity to explore other dimensions of reality was probably elicited from my adventures in the lucid worlds of my creation.

SO lets get down to brass tax. Reality is all interpretations of sensory stimuli that you coalesce into a meaningful illusion you cal the waking world. All these labels and symbols for identification and communication. Its all going on in our heads, or so we are told.Touch, sights, smells, hearing and taste are all external stimuli made internal. nothing of what we see hear smell taste or touch is all there is there is much much more of reality that we dont experience than what we do.

Well thats what the scientists tell us anyway right? You know those guys that discovered electricity and invented neat ways to manipulate matter and reality...Oh yes thats is what you are doing.

So its going on in our heads and we know that when we are "awake" and I do use this word loosely as some people still havent woken up, that the waking work is quite real and it is in the form of continuity you wake up in the same bed and life continues as it did before...or so it seems. I wont go down that rabbit hole because its a deep one lets stay on point for now.

When I dream, the reality of my environment is almost never in question which is why we accept the dream word for what it is. It is only when we question its reality that we become "lucid" to the fact that it is indeed a construct of our collective experience and thus we can then bend its rules to our whim. The more experience the easier and more dramatic the bending of the rules. When in this state the true potential of the creative aspect of the mind is unleashed and anything you can imagine can be achieved.

The trick is to stay positive, FEARLESS(very important) and inquisitive but also CALM always stay CALM.

This is an age old tenant of maintaining lucidity once it has been achieved. But the god part comes into it when you start populating your world with people that have personalities and who you can have conversations with as if they are real people and for the most part NONE of them except for 2 in which they identified themselves as people who have passed on to the other side knew they were dream characters in my mind.

These are your creations and you are their GOD. without you they could not exist and when you awake they are simply absorbed back into your psyche and you wake up think wow what a dream.

You can choose to be malevolent or benevolent or even indifferent which is what most people do when they not lucid since they dont know they are the GOD of that reality.

SO when you lay your head down to sleep tonight remember this if nothing else. You are about to create an infinite universe of which you are the all mighty creator and destroyer. Have some fun with it because like all things it will not last every moment of consciousness is a gift from the creator. Drink deeply from its wellspring for one day it will run dry and your time in this reality will be up.

Take your seat at the throne of your kingdom tonight it is your heritage, honor and duty.

Pleasant Dreams

It's nice to dream and all, but, that's why there's so many people that self medicate with recreational chemicals.

Eventually you're going to have to deal with reality.
Sure, it's nice to dream and all, but, to make life worthwhile is to attach value to waking reality, take charge of that, be successful, live healthy, independent, and well.

Dreaming one's life away, no matter how 'special' one knows how to dream is just an escape mechanism.

LOL I think you are missing the point. And from your posting history and style that doesnt surprise me.

You NEED to sleep everyday its not an option as you will surly either die or go insane if you stay up for an extended period.

SO since you are going to spend 30% of your life asleep ANYWAY why not have some fun with.

SMILE baby its not so bad

P.S I like your Grand assumptions too hehe

how come if you are not me and therefore cannot create my unique pov reality in which you only exist as i imaging you to be, in other words you god created me but not the real me and because of that you got no control over my existence the same way i'm not a god because i wont even have control over this words after i hit enter and become ats problem.

in short creating stuff doesn't make you anything more than a observer, if you control stuff let me know

I will admit I had to re read that post a couple of times to try and decipher what you were trying to communicate.

I am not saying I am a GOD in this reality so I cant control you in a way you think of as control but we all have an influence on each other whether you realize it or not.

Im just saying that for between 5 to 9 hours depending how much you sleep at night you have the capacity to be a GOD. Why not exercise that ability. No need to over complicate it.

Brilliant post, I have never understood people who do not think lucid dreaming is real or think it's something bad? I am very impressed by your level of control of your dream worlds. I have achieved a lucid state several times but never to a satisfying extent. I made myself a vampire once and made a vampire den and I had my fledgelings around me (which was awesome by the way! No twilight crap either, I'm talking Lost Boys vampires lol), this took so much effort that I lost control and I can't remember anything from there. Another time it took me so much power of will to lift this truck with my mind that I actually woke myself up!

The fact you can do it so regularly and so smoothly is something I have wanted to obtain for a long time. Also, to everyone who dis-regards dreams: There are only three points in your life when you are in a state like this, when you sleep (obviously), when you are born and when you die. If you want to find the secrets of life and death, I would start in my dreams.

You are right sir i dint read the wall and just wanted to rant over something couse i have to work today but really you truly have no control of the dream, try to dream today of you swimming to the the bottom of the ocean, even in lucid dreams only thing you do is being aware you are dreaming

Was easy to do as a child. as an adult, it's quite difficult. i have a reoccuring one that i really am not fond of, and that i'm lucidly trying to change but it persists in a very annoying way. i don't appreciate that one bit. where do i lodge my complaint?

ain't that easy. i'm completely aware that i'm dreaming, when i'm dreaming and that ordinarily, i should be able to modify the direction of the dream, but the thing just plods along in the same direction as the previous night, with maybe small variations, such as a failed attempt at flying, resulted in barely hovering above the ground like i was wearing magnetic boots in a metal room -- yet it's a big wide open space, albeit sort of gloomy and no sky overhead. ugh. frustrating, irritatin' and furthermore, exasperating. this has happened countless times. so where do i lodge that complaint? i'm supposed to be the only one tinkering around my dreamscape. who's the douche bag trying to clip my wings. i have a few unsavory words to share with him/her/it

Thank you fellow Psychonaut,

The people that discount it do so because they either dont understand it due to lack of experience or even when they experience it their mind is so rigid it cannot flex enough to adapt quickly enough to the weirdness of it all. So they block it out or repress it which results in the same outcome.

Denial.

Oh and as for my "skill" I am not that skilled lol. I do have them frequently enough but the varying levels on lucidity changes. As a base level I can always fly, when lucid I never walk. The first thing I do is take stock of my surrounding and change either locations via teleportation or super speed, which I imagine is a mental trick to justify in my mind the acceptable level of change in reality even in a simulated reality i know im simulating.

The point when im talking to dream characters is rare and I dont always actually go out of my way to engage with them unless there is something I want to know. I might try problem solving with them next time by imagining myself speaking
to the greats like Da Vinci or Einstein. Your Vampire reality sounds cool as and exerting mental force can jolt you out of the dream I have done so many a times when I was learning to fly but not recently.

I really do feel for the people that have never experienced it. Its like never seeing a sunset, how do you describe sight to someone who never evolved eyes.

Again dont miss the forest for the trees.

re read what you just described.......

You are talking about being aware of a reality while you sleep. Do you not understand how rare and powerful just that fact is? Most people cant even remember their dreams, you are already in a small minority. Now not only do you remember your dreams but you also have the ability to hover over the ground...Where did you ever experience "hovering" over the ground even if it isnt that far off the ground? How did you recreate that feeling in the dream how do you know what it "feels" like to hover????


Hmmm

The only person holding you back is you just as in life we are our own worst enemies.

There is so much to learn in dreams. In controlling dreams we learn to control ourselves.

Stop trying to fly and just fly. the harder you TRY the harder you will try. Thoughts manifest into reality instantly so be mindful of your thoughts. if you think you cant you wont.

oh i disagree. first time i learned that was as a kid, well, to be more precise, a 12 year old. i was in one of those falling dreams that typically wake people up, but i decided to bounce and fly - but i had to flap my arms like a bird to keep above the ground . even then, it was only a few feet but at least it was better than the current lucid flying, which is about 2 feet off the ground and a slow descent back to the ground again, struggling the whole time to go up, not down. egads, just thinking about it, frustrates me. and the reoccuring dream, is also not a welcome thing.

this whole recurring thing started about 5 or so years ago. i had a series of dreams i didn't care for, so i prayed that they would change, after a week of the same thing every night, during which i was attempting to make modifications to it, reacting to it, getting frustrated by it. it stopped after praying. then i had a new series of dreams, again, same type of dream every night. it as a bit more interesting but very intense and i felt like i hadn't slept well for that whole week, so i prayed again, for a different dream. and again, i got a new dream, every night the same new dream. this was getting ridiculous, i thought. i have never had a problem with recurring dreams my whole life till 5 years ago. i'm over 50 years old.

this last series of dreams has went on for months. and it's not a good dream. at least it's not scary or intense. it's just dreary and has the feel of being stuck in a situation i don't like, heading toward a precipice i know is there and dont want to fall off of, and then trying fly across it, only to sink down anyway, and just feeling really frustrated to the point i wake up. over and over and over and deep breath, over and over.

my dreams, but someone besides yours truly is manipulating my dream state to such a degree that it's even effecting lucid dreaming parameters. how's that even possible?

Hmm

Belief defines our reality.

if you believe that someone other than you is manipulating your lucid dreaming state then that is what is happening. Nothing I say will change that belief, which is the more likely scenario that you are under the influence of another entity or you are the ultimate master of your world.

From what you describe it sounds like you have some sort of anxiety about something coming up in your near future. You dont want to accept it but you know it unavoidable. You are trying to play it out in symbols in your dreams maybe. The fact it is happening over and over is a sign that you are not dealing with it the first time around. Face your fears and they will become intangible..

i disagree with that as well. i mean, about it being my doing or my condition that is creating it.

let me describe a few of these reoccuring dreams.

the first series had 2 men in it that were giving me tests to take. each test was harder than the last, till the requirements were so impossible, i couldn't answer them anymore. they would give me the same test again and again and if i didn't pass it, they'd get belligerent and press me to reveal data i didn't have in my head. like they'd ask me questions i didn't have the answers for. eventually i just got pissed off lol

then i had a recurring dream about piloting a space ship, from a standing position, strapped into a framework in the middle of a room. i was controlling the ship with my mind and viewing the space landscape out a window in front of me. there were all kinds of debris and ships everywhere and it was my task to pilot the ship thru the debris field. it was interesting but very intense as the ship would increase in speed, and i had to manuever it or it would crash. the strain on my brain to keep the ship correctly positioned in space was exhausting. i'd wake up and my whole body would be tired from it. i was like, okay that dream's gotta go. i'm supposed to be resting when i dream, not the other way around.

so then i had the moon dream series. every night i was on the moon. i would watch a silent group of people file by me, all wearing the same blue coveralls on their way to work. they were emotionless. sort of vacant, like robots. it was exceedingly depressing, almost looked like slavery but with robots.

then started the war dreams. but it was from like the middle ages. people wearing armor, clashing, banging swords. it was like watching an old movie. every night, same movie, like a re-run. i thought, screw this and wandered off to see the landscape, ended up getting far removed from my original location and decided to go back to find it, but it wasn't there. in fact, the landscape just kept shifting and changing whether i wanted it to or not. i recall thinking, this is my dream, that's my landscape, why's it changing constantly like someone flipping channels on a tv set while playing with the remote control.

this lead to the final series of dreams i've been having which are just variants of each other in the same gloomy place. almost looks like it's underground. no animals, no people, hardly no colors, other than the colors of rocks and sand and so forth. endless rocks and dirt, cliffs and ravines in huge caverns. some with bridges over them, some without. to proceed i have to fly over to the next spot but just keep failing. and the whole thing resets to the next night.

i think i need something upbeat to listen to while i'm sleeping, to change the landscape.

there is no proven reason for dreams so don't worry too much about your medieval war dreams, maybe you just saw army of darkness before sleeping ; now in all seriousness dreams seems to be byproducts of deleting overloads of information received over the day or stimulus from new neural path created that activates long term memories so if you dream too much with a war or something you are just remembering old memories of a movie mixing it with neural short circuits

that sounds likely, but what's up with the repeating dreams? i mean, imagine remembering your dreams from every night for the last week, and having every one of them be in the same place, with the same environs, and you even realize this, while in the dream (thus it's lucid) and try to lucidly change it and the dang thing just stubbornly persists. it's your dream. you should be able to direct the color, the landscape, the content, everything.

Sounds like you need to get them under control, I have had lucid dreams but the force of will to actually bend it to my will was extreme. Lucid dreaming is meant to get harder with age, so perhaps you are easily getting into a lucid state because of familiarity but your level of control is diminishing.

Try some meditation, strengthening your mind should solve it at best and do nothing at worst. The Buddha also told a story of how we should implement concentration, he compared it to the string of a lute, pulled too tight and it will not sound, too loose and it will not sound, tune it just right and you can create a masterpiece, perhaps you are putting too much effort into controlling them? It should be a smooth level of control, no doubts. In dreams if you think something bad is going to happen, it will, because you thought of it.

Or maybe, your sub-concious is trying to communicate with you, tell you that there is something you need to pay attention to.

Recurring dreams
