RE: Dreams Journal - 3/3/18 - Trailing The Future
Very cool! 'Butterfly Effect', and 'Donnie Darko' are two of my favorite movies. I never got real good at OOBE, it's seemingly difficult to achieve regularly, but half the battle might be mustering up enough intent to allow it to happen.
One time, gf was in the other room sleeping. I'm dozing off listening to a horror story audiobook. This was also around the time that I was reading about OOBEs. I hear this like helicopter sound, and start to feel high frequency vibrations, and I'm lifted out.
I touched ground on the carpet. I was about to approach it as a lucid dream, and either fly through the window, or exit through the door, because I wanted to quick get outside and see what I could see before the experience was over.
Then the idea popped into my head, I'll go check on my gf. So I flew that way, and into the room. What I saw wasn't right at all, gives me chills just thinking about it. She was awake, and sitting up in the bed, but I knew damn well that she was asleep. Because it was an OOBE not a dream.
She's sitting up in the bed staring at me with wide eyes and doing one of those creepy stepford like smiles, but over-exaggerated, like it looked forced. It was scary!
Very abruptly my flight pattern started to resemble a whirlpool, and SNAP! I'm back in my body, so I quick scramble back over to the bedroom. She was still there, still sleeping. What to make of it is anyone's guess.
We must all have astral bodies, but maybe when we're dreaming we AP unconsciously...
I dunno, mysterious stuff this life is made of.
Interesting! It makes me think to write about all the weird experiences I've had both paranormal and OOB.
I think that dreams are more real than one would think. They have meaning, some are prophesies, some are events that are yet to happen (de ja vu).
I've also done some minor research on quantum physics and parallel universes. Some of the dreams I have are very real. So much so that I feel I tapped into an alternate reality of myself.
Of course, it's all speculation, but it falls in line with what others are also discussing with their experiences.
I think you should, I know I'd like to read'em!
I totally agree, it has to be more than just the subconscious. I have aphantasia (can't visualize), I cannot even draw well, but when I see in my dreams, imagery is constructed that I simply do not have the ability to create on paper, or even conjur in my mind while awake.
Beautiful landscapes, or amazing architecture, and detailed rooms filled with so many objects that belong. I tend to doubt that it's just our subconscious mind at play.
You know, if Bill Hicks was right, we might all be alternate versions of ourself. I think allot about parallel universes too, and often wonder if we're not constantly traveling the multiverse everytime we make-or-take seemingly major or even minor decisions-or-actions.
I too have thought about parallel universes in dreams, because sometimes it's like I just slide right into somebody else's life. There is backstory that you are aware of, and concerns about whatever is going on. It's a very strange thing.
Very interesting speculation at that!
Keep up the cool diary entries, I'll have to go back and read up.
The paranormal and OOB sound really interesting too!
