Could it be that dreams are the analysis of our physical experiences by our spirit selves? Could it be that dreams are not just a reflection and replaying of our daily-life impressions, but are an exact and simultaneous version of the physical experience in the "language" of a parallel but other-dimensional reality, and that neither precedes nor follows the other (given that time is illusion)? Could it be that our wakened-reality is but a physical representation and interpretation of the events of this other-dimension, played out in the minds of our spirit-selves as THEY sleep... that WE are the dream? All this occured to me this morning as I tried to analyse the dream I woke from. In order to explain further, I should first sketch the dream: Dream: I found myself on a street that I understood to be in the town of Leigh, close to where I grew up in the north of England. I was gazing through the windows of a cafe that was built on the site of some demolished houses. I'd come looking for the houses on a nostalgic trip in my home-town. One house held particular importance - it seemed that a docu-film was made there by, and about, Bruce Lee. I'd wanted to see the room he'd filmed in and get a sense of his presence. So it was a disappointment to see that the house was no more. I got into conversation with a young waitress from the cafe, telling her my memories of the houses that stood here, and where the room might have stood where Lee filmed, and how he was a hero of my childhood years - way before her time. We then got talking to a group of old men who also remembered the houses, and a theatre that was also demolished. And there was a black&white photograph hanging on the cafe wall that showed the street in its former state. Another "vague" element of the dream had something to do with authority and bureaucracy, and that "by-passing" the authorities created more efficiency in whatever was taking place in the dream (getting info and access to the location of Lee's film, I think...). So - nothing particularly dramatic, or even unusual - nothing that was mixed up or swimming with contradictory elements the way dreams often tend to be - everything was as real, as linear as logical as waking life. But on waking I felt there was something deeper and I had an urge to do some analysing. First analysis: From a purely sobre perspective - that dreams are reflections of the days events, arranged and ordered by the sub-conscious mind for filing purposes - I could easily see multiple correlations with my previous evening activities - a) I often visit my childhood locations in dreams, so no surprises there. b) Leigh has "really" undergone massive restructuring over the last 20 years that it's hardly recognizable to me anymore. c) I once did a photo-project on the town, and the old and derelict "theatre/cinema" was a unique feature and foreboder of the changes to come. d) Bruce Lee was a childhood hero - and Lee rhymes with Leigh. e) I'd just watched a Johnny Depp film with a highly attractive "young" leading lady - the undeniable effect of pretty girls on the male psyche could have created the waitress of course. f) I'd also watched some videos of presentations by Yanis Varoufakis (ex Greek finance minister) - subject matter being economy and government and bureaucracy and change... So all these elements can be retrieved from the dream with a rather superficial ease. I could have just as easily dismissed it there and not looked any deeper - but I was curious, so... Second analysis: The unconscious thoughts, feelings and memories stirred in me while listening to Varoufakis are responsible for this deeper layer of the dream - combined, I'm certain, with the conscious thoughts and ideas that keep me occupied in waking life - ideas of a changing, transforming world. The end of old political structures; welcoming the new and fresh and transparent; handing the future over to the youth; letting go of the nostalgia of the past; creating new "theatres of life", out of the dark, musty halls and into the light and airy cafés; and a disintegration, a "demolition" of the choking chords of bureaucracy and authority. Just like any good movie, the storyline is a metaphor for a deeper tale. How utterly astounding it is to witness how the sleeping mind creates this level of artistic expression (and I've never been to film-school, so who is making these movies in my head?). Another important point is the metaphor of Bruce Lee. Apart from him being a physical hero, I also deeply admired his spiritual/zen vision. His presence seems to stand for bringing the physical and spiritual together. Looking beyond the "visual" and into the "feeling" of the dream, my overriding "sense" was one of peace and acceptance. Yes, there was also a sense of nostalgic sadness for things lost, but the promise of a "happy ending" seemed intuitively prophetic. And there I could stop - but something else was tickling my imagination - a feather of an idea... I wouldn't be writing this blog if I wasn't convinced of the multidimensional quality of reality. And dreams, for me, are no less "another dimension" than the idea of parallel universes. I've done a little exploring in lucid-dreaming, but always from the perspective of the physical-reality paradigm... how real is a dream according to the laws and priciples of the "wakened world"? Last night I'd been listening to talks by the "high prince of psychedelia" Terence McKenna. His perspective is rooted in his experiences on various hallucinatory substances (mostly natural plant-based compounds), and his take on reality is as far "out there" as anyone has ever gone. Comparing his "trips" to dreams is not difficult, and when you take into account the substance DMT as a natural compound within the human brain and its role in dreaming, then "trip and dream" become easily synonymous. We are so used to describing dreams as part of us, as a by-product of our physical reality experience. They come in the night and fade with the light. They are just electrical patterns, an afterglow, of our brain's daily impressions woven into orderly stories by a sleepy consciousness. Whatever they are, they ARE in your head. But as McKenna points out in reference to DMT (and by extention can also apply to dreams): "This has to be taken seriously. In other words, the “it's only a hallucination” thing—that horseshit is just passé. I mean, reality is only a hallucination for crying out loud, haven't you heard? So that takes care of that—it's only a hallucination. What we’ve got here, folks, is an intelligent entelechy of some sort that is frantic to communicate with human beings for some reason." So, taking dreams "seriously", and from a "multidimensional perspective", what happens when you take our understanding of "dreams being part of us", turn it on its head, and imagine "us being a part of dreams" instead. Imagine the "dream world" as a reality inhabited by spirit beings (our spirit being one of them), living their lives according to their own "fluid" universal laws, and when they sleep, they dream "our reality" of order and linear time and space and physical limitations. Or maybe our existence runs parallel, different representations of the same events and the same experiences, both versions happening simultaneously but only perceived to be causal and successive. So by dreaming we get a peek into each other's domain and where we forget most of our dreams and only recall the 'highlights", so they only recall the highlights of our, predominantly monotonous, daily lives. Worth wrapping your mind around. “I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?” ― John Lennon

I know you have problems, issues, maybe even traumas. Believe me, everyone does in some form or another. We're all in this together and everyone has problems to deal with. For some it's to do with money and wealth, for others it's health related, and others it's relationships, jobs, security, attention, senses of guilt and regret, insecurity and self-doubt, disconnection with self, children, family, work, the environment, politics, terrorism, authorities and any number of existential matters. If you assume that others have it any better than you it's a false assumption - everyone is dealing with something behind the mask of their persona. Even those in great power and running the show have problems - because they can't afford to lose the control that defines for them who they are. Know this and accept it. You can't be them, and you probably wouldn't want to be them if you knew them, and you can't know them without being them. Let it go.
The biggest problem of all though, and the one we have in common, is that we have forgotten who we really are and what we came here to do. Those of us experiencing a human existence here on planet earth in this physical-matter 4-dimensional universe, came here of our own free will. We are all higher beings and we chose to come here into these dense physical bodies onto this dense physical earth with all it's dense limiting physical laws in order to have particular experiences that are not possible in other dimensional realms of lesser density. Without experience of the darkeness we can't know the light we came from. Without the restrictions, the limitations, the pains and suffering, and the rich spectrum of emotions we experience throughout our existence here, we can't know the purity and freedom of just "being". This earth, this physical realm, this universe and all other universes and realms, are all virtual constructs running diverse programs for us to explore and experience. Everything in place upon this earth is a program, including your body. Your consciousness (soul) is the real and limitless "you" having this experience through the program of your body. You came here to have an experience... the "Human experience". You've certainly heard that before, but just how seriously do you accept it? Do you accept it at all? And if you do accept it, well, how's it going so far? The trouble is - the original "Human-experience-program" has been hacked (a long time ago), and all the problems you experience in your life are not part of the original program. You're still having an experience, and from the perspective of source consciousness every experience has value in extending it's awareness of self, but we've become lost in the hacked version of the program, distracted from our true purpose here and our true potential, and that's just created a whole tsunami of problems that we shouldn't have to be dealing with. The original "hackers" are other-dimensional entities with their own agendas of power and control, and they're having their own "experience" by manipulating the "Earth" programs. And they have their problems too - they have to keep us continually distracted from our true selves otherwise we may become aware of our power and their game would be up. There are also devious hackers within the upper echelons of human society (much higher than our elected leaders), and they, possibly under guidance and support of the original hackers, and with their own personal ego-agendas, maintain and add to these false programs to further distract and control us. These false programs ensure that we are kept in a state of stress, trauma, fear and scarcity - with the result that we are SO busy just getting by and keeping up and keeping out of trouble that we don't get the chance to stop and say: "wait a minute... there's something wrong here!" And these human hackers have their problems too - they're scared to death of their superiors and they all have superiors, and they're scared to death of each other, and they're scared to death of death. You could almost feel sorry for them. So it's all one big mess and we're all trying to deal with it as best we can. So how DO you deal with it? It's simple really (not easy - just simple) - you have to remember that none of it is really real, it's all virtual, all a big game, all a big adventure, all one big galactic multidimensional journey... and we're all in it together. When you remember that, the next thing is to understand that you are limitless and powerful beyond your imagination because you are multidimensional spirit. When you can open your mind broad enough to see and accept this, you begin to see the bigger picture from a higher perspective, and everything becomes less serious... even fun! But then too begins the real work of letting go of the false programs - I choose the phrase "letting go" carefully. I could say "breaking free" from the programs, but that already makes it sound difficult, and when you are limitless and powerful as you truly are, as human, as spirit, then nothing really has to be so difficult. These false programs have power over you because you believe in them, because you identify with them, because you allow them to distract you. As I see it - we have been struggling so long with these programs that we are tired, worn out. We can understand life as a journey but we're too tired to take pleasure in that journey and long for the destination. We are tired and impatient because we've had enough of the struggle and the problems. But we can't know the destination unless we take the journey so what we need to do is rekindle our excitement for the journey, rekindle our passion to know and experience who we are. If we allow ourselves to be distracted into believing that life, our human experience, has to be one of struggle and conflict, then it will BE one of struggle and conflict. If we let the false programs that control our lives be our reality, they will BE our reality. If we give our power to a bunch of insecure, fearful, ego-driven hackers, regardless of whether they're human or other-dimensional, they will continue to rule our lives. If we continue to be so attatched to our fears and negative emotions, we will only experience more of the same. It's up to you. Just remember, none of this is real. There are stories out there about the reality of this universe that are "SOoo out there" that most people can't even consider them let alone accept them.
Stories of galactical battles between rival alien races with all their particular agendas; of angels and demons locked in a never ending conflict between good and evil; of ancient satanic bloodlines and secret societies that have ruled the earth since eons past and are still operating today; of vampiric energy-guzzling reptilians; advanced (alien) civilizations in great cities in the centre of the "hollow" earth; space-ship artificial moons; devious programs of manipulation, war, propaganda and nano-weapon technology used against us to dumb us down, make us sick, decrease the population and hold us in a lie of constant, unending trauma and fear. The grand prize at the heart of all these stories is "complete enslavement and control of the human masses. Ever get the feeling that everything is against you? Yep! - you and most of the rest of the world. It's coming more and more to light that everything we've ever been told about "life, the universe and everything" is quite possibly a deception. I admit - I am one of those people who cannot deny these stories as fantasy. Conspiracy theories have too often been proved to be more than "theories". And somewhere, in my heart, in my gut, in my intuition, ever since the ripe young age of 5, I've had this feeling that the "conventional" story was somehow... wrongeddy-wrong-wrong. I'm not particularly gullible, I understand the limits of my knowledge, but I don't believe something just because everyone else says it's true. The trouble is that there are so many stories out there, many conflicting, most of them scary in one way or another, all of them limiting in one way or another... I just don't know anymore if I can trust ANY of it to be true anymore. So I'm apt to come to the conclusion that I actually don't know anything for sure. And rather than be dissapointed by this, I find it actually very liberating. When I was 14 years old I read "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" by Richard Bach, and I "got it!" No-one else I knew understood what there was to "get". A few years later I read Bach's "Illusions", and that became the basis of all my beliefs about this universe and this life... it's all illusion, there are no limitations, and "everyone is free to do anything they want to do". All these years later it still stands. My own experiences and observations, information and insights I've been drawn to over the years, the findings and conclusions of broader-minded experts in science, biology, quantum physics, spirituality and philosophy, and even a number of zealous and fearless conspiracy theorists and whistle-blowers, have all supported my beliefs. But still my greatest source of truth is my own inner-wisdom, my intuition. I cannot doubt my essential being as spirit-consciousness. I cannot doubt I'm guided by a highr self. I cannot doubt my connection to source-consciousness and thus everything and everyone in all of creation, in this universe or another, in this dimension or another. And that does it for me. That makes things so simple, so utterly perfect and beautiful, so playful. Quantum physics tells of the wave-particle aspect of physical reality and concludes that physical matter doesn't actually exist but is manifested out of a field of limitless potential and intelligence. Philosophers and scientists alike are talking of the holographic nature of this universe in which every "part" contains the same information as the "whole". Epigenetics teaches us that our perceptions and our beliefs control our genes and can even influence our DNA. Government and military whistleblowers are reporting on deeply silenced interactions between humans and other-dimensional aliens. Psychics, channelers, OBE and NDE experiencers are sharing knowledge from multidimensional beings that tell of our own multidimensionality and an ascension into a higher dimension that's presently in progress. Historical researchers around the world are discovering more and more proof of advanced civilizations from our far far ancient past. The shamans of Hawaai have a healing tradition called "Ho Oponopono" in which you accept full responsibility for everything that is present in your life, good and bad, because they say the universe is not "out there" but inside you - that it's all your creation and therefore to heal another you have to heal yourself because everything IS you. And the Toltec teachings tell us that this is all a "dream", and we each are the dreamer of our own universe. There is a speaker I found on You Tube who I admire and holds the same perspective on life as I do. Her name is Sonia Barrett. In one workshop I heard her talk about not giving your power away to another, to take full responsibility for everything, even your pains and struggles. She says she "owns" her problems, her emotions, her decisions and choices - because, she says, all the universe she perceives is "her" universe. And that's what we all have remember - everyone is living in their own universe, everyone is the dreamer of their own dream. So take back control, fully, stop giving it away. It's your life, your identity, your journey, your story, "your" universe... own it! Imagine... You were born upon this earth into this body of yours, into this family, community, society of yours... but without the amnesia.
Even though you experience gravity, heat and cold, touch, light, sound etc., and even though you are still bound by the limitations of this 4-dimensional space-time physical-matter reality, you haven't however forgotten where you came from or who you really are. You remember signing on the dotted line to start your virtual-reality experience, or you remember going to sleep with the intent of having this lucid dream, or you remember listing your objectives when you agreed to descend from your spirit realm into this world to have your human experience. You are aware, from the moment of your birth, that you are an angel in human form... you might even remember your wings. Imagine now, as this angel, what your perspective would be on life, on the human drama, on love and hate and evil and fear, on society, on ego, on death, on education, work, health and sickness, money, rules and laws and authorities, emotions, the weather, beliefs and dogmas, religions, conflict and war, politics, wealth and poverty, cruelty and manipulation, competition, pensions, holidays, bills, weekends, passports, country borders, technology, history, science, the arts, vices, the media, food, exercise, coffee and cigarettes, relationships, freedom...... I imagine you would float and drift across this planet, through all these lives and stories being played out around you. I imagine you would observe everything with awe and wonder, free in heart and soul, impervious to manipulation, filled with love and compassion for everything and everyone within this masterpiece of creation. And I would imagine you would understand what's going on because you are aware that everyone is busy following their own divine objectives and having their own human experience, because everyone else is also an angel of "The IS", just like you - but they just don't remember... yet! Now imagine "pretending" to remember... can you feel the joy and freedom and limitlessness? |
