Lucid Dreaming
Step one in any Lucid Dreaming program will probably have you journaling to become more conscious of your dreams. Step two recommends a technique or two to help actually become conscious while dreaming - such as looking at the palm of your hand IN YOUR DREAM, thus "waking up" while remaining asleep. Step three involves taking some kind of conscious control of your dream after step two, thus coming into a true state of Lucid Dreaming.
What I've been interested in is steps four and five.
To me, step four has been meeting other people and entities in my lucid dreams. After all, we share psychic space just as we share physical space, so running into folks during your trips through the ether is not out of the ordinary. It is possible to literally meet up and share dreams.
Step five is about building literal dream communities.
My first experiences in these communities were in my early 20s, when I repeatedly visited the same massive construct in a dream state that I entered over and over. This construct can best be described as a huge stadium. I can vividly remember being situated on a "point" in the stadium, and being able to look around this enormous "space" and seeing thousands of faces around me. We were all gathered there, aware of ourselves and eachother in this dream construct. It felt like some kind of transit bay, or a sort of briefing room, or in this case stadium. There would be "information" that beamed down from above, and we all received this information on a psychic level, though it was almost like hearing someone speak over a loud-speaker. I could lucidly look around the stadium and recognize faces that I'd seen before; either faces from other dreamtimes or faces of friends or family from my waking life.
The next kind of dream constructs I can recall visiting were more of a sexual nature. They were in abandoned buildings, usually in the basement, and while initially scary turned out to be quite incredibly hot. Some were in shower-type tiled bathrooms, while others were constructed to look like ancient Roman baths, with marble, high arched ceilings, and lots of wispy steam. There were literally as many different kinds of constructs as there were minds to imagine them, and I got the distinct feeling that many of these constructs were thousands of waking years old, that beings had been visiting them for a very, very long time, and that there were certain beings among them who were aware of my inquisitive presence.
And that's when I began to become intrigued with the idea of buildng a dream construct of my own.
More to come...
