i'm dreaming while awake . . . ? ? ? Tuesday, January 13, 2009

So i've been having these occurrences -- these very fleeting moments every day for much, if not all of the last 5 months or so, where i'll just be doing whatever it is i'm doing at the time and i'll get these flashes of dreams -- some i kinda remember (maybe then for the first time), others seem a more distant situation . . .

if i stopped what i was doing and wrote them down i'd at least be able to remember that dream (and if i was/had it documented, i could just have a simple note reminding me enough to that dream that i can correlate the two dreams and times) -- and perhaps i'd be able to figure out some kind of pattern or meaning as to why they are happening at that moment in my life ...

i guess the feeling that i'm getting from them is different than normal; also, i didn't think that this "remembering" feeling that i'm getting would go away, that it would be fleeting as well --- but it has not.

I've been becoming more aware of my dreams overall, and dabbling in lucid dreaming.

!!!!!
*** I'm wondering if perhaps during the course of that dream, there was either clues to the future or indications to what was happening at that moment (and to why i was remembering it right then), or there was perhaps another parallel dream world, planning the future, going on at another level... ***
!!!!!

For a very long time, it's been a working theory (of mine?) that first, we dream the future, and secondly we 'physically' live out that movie script.

is my brain finally picking up on the signals necessary to put the puzzle pieces together to better understand how we create reality (or is that still just a pipe dream and i'm way short...)

i also think that there are simultaneously multiple dreams worlds going on for our body/mind/spirit existence, and perhaps we are not lucid enough to catch all the information on all the planes -- and perhaps we only get the translation to symbols from actually the very clear divine (collaboration for what is the path of your soul)

. . . ? ? ?

so, i guess i'm just being lazy, cause i haven't documented this working theory . . . though i did have a very good collection of dreams for a few months . . .

but no corresponding time (days, weeks, months) down the road when that specific dream, by no thought tangent from my mind, by no clear work on my part, ran briefly through my head . . .

what to make of it . . .

i'm inclined to believe that john lilly may have beneficial information for what i'm rambling about

any other sources? .................casteneda, jung, calea zacatechichi ?

i suppose Hypnos and his children, namely Morpheus

ps... i forgot to mention that sometimes this seems to happen ten times a day, or, like between when i posted this and now, it has happened about 5 times - including 4 times over about 15 mintutes . . . so it does happen with a certain amount of frequency... as it clicked in about 3 or 4 times earlier today to get me to write it down

pps.... i might say also that i working theory of mine, with less certainty, is that a part of our beings/minds are dreaming at all times, and that it is only when we enter R.E.M. brainwaves that 'this consciousness' (as i type that, another dream passes through my perception) ... that this awareness of dreams is generally only possible with that brain pattern (rem) [the frequencies must line up?]
{so that's 5 times over 25 min / 6 since / 9+ total today}
