Does the idea that 'this place' is a Dream upset you?

You just have to realize that you can, and should make use of your dreams, both when you sleep, and you're awake.

You shouldn't feel lonely or isolated, because you always have direct access to all the other personalities, anywhere in space, time, and other planes. You just have to learn to do it.

That's why you are here, to practice creating reality while awake, dreaming, daydreaming.

Learn to get in contact with your subconscious, and through it to access further knowledge and guidance.

Are you learning anything from your night dreams? They are gems of symbolic knowledge and guidance. Those symbols are different from one person to another, even from one dream to another, and your inner source of knowledge and guidance will help you make sense of your dreams.

Why?
Does it seem impossible? Like, 'How could it be!?", as you knock on wood.
Does it seem to negate everything that happens to you - that is done around you, that you do for others?

What is the fear or the agitation surrounding this?
Let's get rid of that pesky fear or even anger!

Is it that you think this being a Dream makes thing worthless here? All your loves and wonderful experiences?
Or does it just boggle your logical mind? And kinda make you frustrated?
We have some very smart people here, maybe it could be tackled.
OR maybe even a bit explained!

Rem - if this is really an Illusion ...it's a darn good one...or else it wouldn't be called an Illusion!!

Miss Hepburn,

For me? Not at all!

Where would we be without giving ourselves, or being inspired by someone loving us enough to give, The Gift of Dreams...

...especially since we chose to avail ourselves of the opportunities to experience our own answers to your 11 questions (and to meet our fellow SF dreamers here), as well as to find answers to our own questions?

That was very nice.


**realizefun - Did you see that from guthrio - 'The Gift of Dreams'.
A little shift in perspective and suddenly from a horror we
can see it as a 'gift'. (Ha or playground!)

Do any of the ideas: "Dreams are real", "What one experiences in a 'dream' is really experienced", "There are no other experiences than what one experiences in one's 'dreams' as being 'true'" upset or bother you? Me (subjectively) thinks the lady 'protests' 'too much' in the foregoing regards.

There will be fear if one is enjoying. But if one's dream is horror show full of pain,one may be happy knowing it is dream (Buddha's sarvam Dukham sarvam kshanikam theory).

The fear comes with the transientness associated with the word dream. people fear discontinuity which is invariably associated with dreams.

By thinking it an opportunity make real I mean making it great making a deep impact on society. I do not mean one can remove inherent physical barriers.

Yeah of course I can see that... but the consequences that this would be a dream has isn’t very nice to me. Maybe something has to yet manifest... something that makes me less bothered...

For me it isn’t about whether the dream is nice or not. Of course, a nice dream is better. Or: I 100% prefer a nice dream. However, it seems kinda horror even though it could be a nice dream... nobody is real anymore when you get to 100% control. My control had grown in this lifetime, maybe not for the external world but rather for the internal one. And I’m slowly adapting. This inner source is growing and expanding. What does that mean? Can I even comprehend? It’s so big... I don’t mean my control, rather the thing I’m experiencing. It’s everywhere! And I just can’t help but feel horrified by it... it has something scary. I guess something to be solved.

Maybe I’ll find my way into acceptance. Idk. For now I just want to get “out of here” and wake up “outside the dream”. But honestly I think that might be even more scary. I don’t know what kind of crazy experiment this all is...

Maybe something else will make me feel a bit safer. But simply a shift of thoughts won’t do. This thing feels like extremely uncanny for me.

This is reality not a dream but you can be blinded by your own delusions to where you lose tuch with really and are stuck in your own delusions

An interesting theory to think about… The life you are experiencing right now may in fact just be flashbacks during the last 10 minutes of brain activity that continues after death. It may seem like a whole lifetime, but that's because time works differently in dreams.

The brain only functions at a level capable of producing a coherent conscious experience for about 20 or 30 seconds after its oxygen supply is cut off. That's why NDEs are of such interest and especially establishing when they occur. It's why cardiac arrest patients are of particular interest.
