Dreams — are not what they seem.

If someone asks me, what I’m doing in my dream —

It’s an obvious thing for me. I’m learning.

My dreams are omnipotent. They taught me, how to run a crowdfunding campaign, meditate, concentrate on specific objects, write lyrics, find a light in the darkest chambers of my mind.

We’re starting to dream when we just born — does it mean something?

Dream — is an instrument to become involved in a real world, to be acknowledged by possible ways to explore it, to realize what we’re doing here.

We learn.

The world seems to a Lucid Dreamer as a vast countryside with endless possibilities, where you can find a touch of knowledge in everything you perceive.

Everything we see, think for a moment, integrates into us, as data points collected by an algorithm. We’re very complex beings, who can observe, categorize and digest all our experience.

What do you know about the world around us?

Since childhood, we expand our consciousness on the external things, while it’s an illusion which meant to be covered by our perception —

we think that we perceive the world around us.

While we perceive the feeling, which is undoubtedly inside of us.

Since childhood, we explore the realm of our inner metaphor of the world around us — we explore the way to anticipate it, to embrace in events, which we project in our ego, and dreams.

Model.

Our dreams are well-known to humanity as a mind attachment to particular entities from a waking life. On the other hand, since Carl Gustav Jung, we know that while dreaming, a dreamer perceives more, than just a hectic mind.

While dreaming, we see unconscious, which we can not account for subjects of daily routine by design.

Unconsciousness comes from the integration of different factors (by Space of Consciousness model, Ursula Voss “What is the State-of-the-Art on Lucid Dreaming).

We can’t explain whether we intercept unconsciousness from an introspection, or from outer world while dreaming.

Even Carl Jung brought out the model, that because we’re not able to sensate while dreaming, our consciousness could be more affected by what we perceive as a noise during the daily routine.

The noise.

We think that the world is something we know as a set of objects.

Talcott Parson used the term “gloss” to describe how the mind constructs reality, “filtering” the data coming from our senses. This “filtering” is mostly unconscious and is affected by factors such as cultural constructs including language, personal experience, belief systems, and so forth.

We can learn to understand that things inside of our room are creating the room itself. This is how we learn to understand the world.

If we can not perceive most of our world, mostly we live in the small part of it, where we can understand within a “gloss” how the objects collected with each other.

Starting this point -

Let’s get back to our dreams.

Learning curve.

During the experience of the dream world, lucid dreamers found out there are specific storms inside of it. These storms are bringing you dedication to a new puzzling out things.

In dream yoga practice, there are even instruments to specifically tune yourself to see these storms in a dream any time you want.

Going into these kinds of storms, you are learning. This is the whole new dimension of knowledge, which is not sorting in your mind as characters set. This is something you can achieve during an extended meditation, or going to the wild nature, or ascending a mountain.

You are reaching real and bold experience, which is teaching you to control your inner vitality and motive power.

When you wake up after conquering such noviciate, you feel superfluity, you feel a fuel inside of you, as a gust which breaks through everything you knew as your objectified reality.

And this is where the world ends as a thing you were sure about.

Dreams are not what they seem.

What are you dreaming about?
