Lucid Dreaming

[Andrea]

I have always been a dreamer. I usually remember my dreams and they are always very realistic. I have conttrol over things in my dreams and I am actively participating in my dreams, (usually). Like if I am in a beautiful house I will say,

"Wow this house is great, since its just a dream, I am going to wander around and see what it looks like." and I will do that.

My dreams take place in neighborhoods. Meaning I have many dreams in the same places over and over. So much so that when a familiar place pops up I know my way around.

I have had demons attack me many times in my dreams also. Some very powerful, Others not so much. I always have to pray them away .

My question is this, does anyone think I could be in another demension or something. I have always thought my dreams were like another life to me. No one has ever been able to answer this for me. My psych teacher called it "lucid dreaming".

All replys appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Andrea,

Interesting how you visit some of the same places in your dreams.  I haven't experienced that but I've had dreams where I knew its a dream...   usually happens after I realize I'm breathing under water or being terrorized by something or someone I'm trying to escape... I realize I'm in a dream and then intentionally run faster or make what I want to happen.

I can't answer your question about alternate realities.  Have you tried meditating on these images?  You could choose an image from the dreams...  hold the image at your pineal gland and see what information comes up... - in the form of thoughts, other images, and/or feelings.

Obviously you would want to first put yourself in protective violet and connect to oversoul so information you receive comes from a truthful source.

Good Luck and sweeeeet dreams icon_drunk

[Andrea]

Thank you for the advice Sheri, I will try that. Pineal gland? Is that the one in your brain? (I should know this- I wont even say what I am studying in school). I have got to educate myself about the terminology you guys use, like "oversoul".

BFBardo,

 What exactly does that mean? Acid? I dont get your response. It's making me feel a little like I should understand but I dont.

[Leftygrl]

Sorry Andrea - I shouldn't assume everyone at HC knows hyperspace meditation techniques and terms like oversoul and godmind.

Under the forum tabs, one is titled Hyperspace - that would be worth reading if you want to understand how to do some of the meditations. And you can check out the books and dvds available at expansions.com

The main thing is that everything you need or want to know, you can find the answers to from within yourself and your connection to oversoul/godmind. So if you want to understand what is going on with these dreams... you can meditate on it to find your own answers.

And if you meditate on it and don't understand the information you receive... you can meditate on them!! Or go through the books or post it here to try and find the answer.

Good Luck.

Andrea, some people call the oversoul the higher self. Here’s an article on the oversoul. 

What exactly is an Oversoul?

Your Oversoul is where you come from. As an analogy, think of God-Mind as your grandmother/grandfather. Out of God-Mind came smaller portions of energy called Oversouls. Think of an Oversoul as your mother/father.

What does an Oversoul look like?

Each Oversoul is an energy mass of intelligence. For visualization purposes, you can think of it as looking like the sun on a bright day.

What function does an Oversoul perform?

Your Oversoul provides an intermediary link between God-Mind, an extremely vast energy, and you, a small portion of that vast energy. Your Oversoul is a type of buffer between yourself and God-Mind. For example, you could not plug your kitchen toaster directly into an electric generator at a dam. The powerful wattage from the electric generator would be too powerful and would burn out the toaster.

All of your experiences originate from your Oversoul. Your Oversoul sends out your experiences by casting out a net of energy. You pull that net of energy into yourself as you experience. Then, you can choose to hold onto that energy and continue to repeat the same experience, or you can consciously choose to give that energy back to your Oversoul, so that the energy can be cleaned up and recast into new and different experiences.

Is an Oversoul the same as my Higher Self?

"Higher self" can mean many things, but an Oversoul is your specific birth point out of God-Mind.

How do I contact mine?

Your Oversoul is a constant. You are always connected no matter where you are or what form you take. You are always connected whether or not you are consciously aware of this. Your Oversoul recognizes you by your frequency – a vibration that is unique to you.

How do I develop awareness of my connection?

First of all, visualize a clear, elasticized channel that connects the top of your head up to your Oversoul. Using your breath as a tool, exhale your breath up through the top of your head, up through this channel, all the way up into your Oversoul. Inhale it back down the channel. Exhale it back up, then bring the breath back down. If you see or feel any dark accumulated debris, use your breath as a scrub brush to clean it out. As you move your breath up and down, pass the loosened debris on up the channel to your Oversoul. Your Oversoul always stays clear and clean.

How do I know when I make contact?

With your hands, feel the space that sits above your head. This is the area that contains your thoughts. You must use your breath, or consciousness, to push up past your own thoughts to get into the space that holds your Oversoul. In the beginning, it may be difficult to know that anything is happening. Your communications may be so subtle that you are not able to separate them from your own thoughts and feelings. That is why it is important to push up above the space that contains your own thoughts. The more you use the channel, the more perceptive you are to the communications that flow down it.

How will my Oversoul communicate with me?

You will learn the language of your own Oversoul, which is the language of feeling. You will learn to know by knowing. You will recognize how much you already know, then build on that knowledge. Once you know the language of your own Oversoul, ask your Oversoul to communicate with all other things for you, then bring that information to you. Your work becomes much easier, because instead of having to learn the language of everyone and everything, you only need this one, simple language.

Will this change my perspective on life in general?

Moving your energy up and down, rather than back and forth, means that you look at life from above rather than horizontally through your own accumulated vibratory imprints that exist in your auric field. This allows you to function as an objective observer. This, in turn, allows you to gather less subjective, more accurate information.

Do I still have free will?

You learn to align your will with the will of your Oversoul and God-Mind. You begin to function as a funnel of energy. You are at the bottom, being constantly filled by your Oversoul and God-Mind. Rather than keep this energy, you constantly recycle it back up to your Oversoul.

You will learn that everything works like a fine-tuned machine when you recognize your constant state of communication with your Oversoul and God-Mind. You can still do whatever you want, but you will find out that when you listen to your Oversoul, life flows much easier for you.

Can a novice do it?

You are already connected. Simply become aware that you are already connected. "Novice" is a term designed to complicate something that is simple. Just do it! Release the need to complicate.

Can I still have my spirit guides and helpers?

Go to your Oversoul, and ask your Oversoul to explain who and what your "spirit guides and helpers" are. They may or may not be legitimate and/or helpful. They may simply be a product of your own mind-pattern. Only your Oversoul knows for sure. Go to the highest source available to you, then looking down, gather your explanations.

Can I still use crystals and stones?

You can do whatever you want. Ask your Oversoul for explanation. Have it contact the Oversoul of the crystals and stones, and bring that information back to you. Find out your own information.

What about automatic writing and channeling?

Automatic writing and channeling from your own Oversoul is one thing. But other than that, why would you want to allow any being or entity to possess your body? Each time an entity goes in or out, it is a tremendous shock, as well as destructive to the physical body. If you are only "listening" then writing or repeating, realize that you do not truly know the origins of these entities, or their goals. A con artist not in body is as dangerous as one in body. Access your own source. Stop looking for outer answers that will never be as accurate as your own inner answers. Spend your resources wisely.

Can I access information about other lifetimes?

Absolutely. But, again, spend your resources wisely. Only do so if this serves a purpose. Curiosity is an expression of ego. Who cares if you are Queen Elizabeth in another lifetime unless it serves a purpose? And, if so, how does it directly affect your life experiences now?

Can I contact other dimensions, species, and/or even the departed through my Oversoul?

Absolutely. But, again, spend your resources wisely. You can be led on a horizontal chase on any level that you attain. Focus your mind-pattern on vertical growth. Go as deeply and quickly into your source as you can. Whatever you choose to study, do so with awareness. Release your need for game playing and entertainment. Accomplish your goals. Time is of the essence.

Are there other people in my Oversoul?

There are many soul-personalities experiencing God-Mind through your Oversoul, some in this dimension, some not. Each individual is important to its Oversoul. Each individual consists of unique experiences that contribute to the whole. As an analogy, think of the cells and organs in your body. Each cell and organ has a specific role and function. Your heart contributes something that your liver does not, and vice versa. Your body does not need two hearts or two livers. In the same way, each individual that belongs to the same Oversoul contributes his/her own unique experiences in his/her exploration of God-Mind.

How do I recognize other people in my Oversoul?

First of all, they feel like they are a part of you. This feeling is something that you do not have to question or doubt. It is like finding an arm or a leg – you do not have to question whether it is yours or not. Secondly, they will not be "exactly like you" because one Oversoul would never have two soul-personalities going through the same experiences. Every soul-personality will be complementary to the other, but not duplicate another.

Do animals have Oversouls?

Everything has an Oversoul for effective communication with God-Mind. Sometimes these are referred to as a "group-mind." There are many Oversouls within the mineral kingdom, the plant kingdom, the animal kingdom, and within each species. This forms an efficient hierarchy of communication all the way up to God-Mind.

Where can I find more detailed information about Oversoul communication?

The best place is inside of yourself. You can also read my “In Search of Yourself” series. They all revolve around Oversoul communication. If you must choose only one, choose Book 1, “The Beginning”. The books are simply written. No matter where you are on your course of study, you are never beyond the basics.

Hi Andrea, i dont know if i can be much help, but i can say i'm alittle like you. I have many dreams which are very vivid, and yes i also go to the same places alot as well, which i love as they are farmiliar to me. I also dream of heaps of other stuff.

I find that when i get confused or a hurdle comes up in my life, i sometimes choose to go to these farmiliar places with farmiliar people, as i know my way around in those places as well.

Maybe you should keep a diary not just of your dreams but of whats going on in your life at the time and how you feel to rule out if it's an emotional thing or not.

The other thing is yes i believe that we can unconsiously traval to different dimensions of time in our sleep, this includes not just places but dimensions of time from our pastlives, i know i do, but the difference is i know when i wake up if i have done this.

Take notice of the dreams that seem extra real to you, like when you wake up you really feel as though you were there, this to me means i really was there, along with other things.

No matter what you must protect yourself from other forces especially since you may very well be travelling to different dimensions of time and are unaware of it. Find someone in your dream and consiously ask them where you are and if it's a real place. Don't ask a demon. Don't feel silly in your dream when you ask because you are usually most likely to get the answer you need.

Hope i helped alittle.

[Andrea]

Wow, thats alot of information Richard and it is very much appreciated. It reminds me of an interview I just read about. I am excited to start on this journey. I used to be much more aware of spiritual things but the last few years I feel really "grounded", for lack of a better word, and heavy. So this is something I think will help.

Lefty- I will try the forum tabs. Thanks again.

Eager- Yes you were helpful. You do seem to have many similar dream experiences as I do. I never met anyone else who did. I used to keep a jourmal but I stopped.

All of this is showing me I need to go back to a few of the old habits I had that were beneficial to me but for one reason or another I stopped doing them.

[BFBBardo]

Ahh, that was another of my attempts at humor that failed to land.
Lucy as in lucid is all I meant.
I will share a bit. The first time it happened to me, an old (incorporeal)shaman woman came into my room while I was sleeping. She started chanting, and the chanting is what brought me into lucidity. Then, she goes to the foot of the bed, grabs my ankles, and starts pulling me out of my body. There was an odd sound to it, and she continued the chant. When I got to the point where I was about halfway out, I panicked, and slammed with great force back into my body, so hard that I saw two bright flashes in my eye sockets, and it was uniquely and sharply painful, unlike any other pain. I thought I was dead for a minute.
The old woman was gone. I got up out of bed and paced around the apartment in a panic for a while, calmed down, had something to drink, and went back to bed. The old woman didn't return, but this time as I started to drift, I simply floated up out of my body, and had a lucid flight over a shimmering ocean and saw the bodhisattva Kuan Yin.
For a while I got intensly into the subject of lucid dreaming, but I was lazy, and nothing matched the rather unusual drama of that first experience. The only useful tidbit I can offer you is, if you want to induce them, it seems much more likely to happen if you wake up early, get up for an hour, and then go back to sleep. Something to do with the chemical balance of the brain at that point seems to make the lucid dream much more likely.

[BFBBardo]

I was never quite sure about the old shaman woman. I was very suspicious of her for a long time, which contributed to lessening interest in lucid dreaming. You don't just go around yanking people out of their bodies, what's up with that? Since then I'm less paranoid about her. It was an 'old school' kind of lesson for sure, but it is consistent with my "Oversoul" peeps. Like how my father taught me to ride a bike - took me to a hill, set me on the bike, gave a push.
But I crashed the bike into a tree, bent the fork. Dad felt bad. This was similar. From then on I had no problem riding a bike. But I never got back into lucid dreaming. It was too real, it wasn't even dreaming really, to be there in your bedroom, looking at yourself. Freaked me out big time. And what were those Greys doing in my living room? Greys, sitting on my couch. They activated a field that made it so I couldn't look at them. Quite rude. It was too much at once.
