Notes on Dreaming

Dreams are Life Experiences

Your dreaming experiences are experiences. Because they are self-modifying, they open a feedback loop to rapid personal development.

Lucidity

Lucidity is the one topic that cannot be discussed.

Dream Guides

Some dream characters know you are dreaming and want to help you.

Dream Parables

Some dreams are so impersonal and so well-structured that they seem more like parables than dreams.

Unlike dream guide dreams, in which there is a teacher present, these are carefully crafted situations that nevertheless teach.

Dream Malls

Above personal dreams are public spaces in which nothing in particular happens.

Historical Dreams

I often dream of being another person in another period of history. In case this is happening to other people, here are my notes.

Noticeability

Seeing and noticing are separate phenomena.

Identity

An identity is a mobile prison for awareness.

Shifting Allegiances of Dream Spies

After you’ve dreamt of a hundred lives, what are you?

Kaleidoscope of Reality

Reality is a giant hyper-dimensional crystal that gives the illusion of internal movements when you look through it from different angles. Or so I dreamt.

The Family Religion

One ‘transcends’ personal mperfection through mindfulness. Every-day reality can be a religion.

Appearances

Don’t confuse the font for the text.

Dream Companions

Get in. I know a really cool dream!

Cohabitation

My dreaming career has stalled, due to one concept — or rather, lack of a particular concept.

Heaven

There is one serious question in psychology, and that is, why does one ever dream of anything other than Heaven? 

Consent

“There is something you need to know about this place, the most important thing: Everything that goes on here is by consent.”

The Mode of Child Awareness

In the dreaming world, the decisions you make are less important than the perspective you take.

Hell

Hell exists. And you are closer to one than you think.

Dream Wraiths

A wraith is not just a ghost; it is a ghostly doppelganger. It lives in a supernatural world and it has supernatural powers. It is self-delusional, reckless and wilful. And then you wake up.

Netherlings

Not all sentient dream characters are nice. But even they must follow the rules.

Invasion of the Waking World

I dreamt the waking world had been invaded by aliens who could be seen only in dreams. And then I woke up. Technically speaking..

4D Movement

Movement in the 4th dimension is an important dreaming skill, for whatever reason.

The Current Trial

Amnesia makes the meaning of existence much more obvious, not less.

One Cubic Centimeter of Reality

What would you do if you could do anything with a cubic centimeter of reality?
