Lucid Dreaming/Lucid Living

“Ever drifting down the stream—

Lingering in the golden gleam—
Life, what is it but a dream?”
--Lewis Carroll

“When you begin to spiritually awaken, it is like waking up inside of dream and
recognizing that everything you are experiencing is nothing other than a very convincing
projection, or display of your mind….” --Paul Levy

Have you ever had the experience of being in a dream and suddenly realizing that
you’re dreaming? If you’ve had this experience, and if as a result, you stepped out of the
role of being just a character in the dream and became the scriptwriter and director,
congratulations … you know what it is to be a lucid dreamer.

Consider this: While in the dream world, that world seems as real to the dreaming-
self as the world we experience when awake. We say, ordinarily, that the dream world is
unreal, but that assessment is made from the point of view of the awake-self. A fair
assessment? No. The assessment misses the rather crucial point that reality, like beauty,
is in the eyes of the beholder. When we are in a dream, the world we behold is very, very
real.

“But, but,” you say, “the illusion that the dream world is real disappears when the
dreamer becomes a lucid dreamer.”

Really? That’s not my experience. When, on occasion, I go lucid in a dream, my first

thought is not “This is nothing but an unreal world I’m in,” but “Hey!—I can have some
fun in this reality because I’m its creator!”

The dream world remains real to the lucid dreamer; but his relationship to that world
is changed. As soon as he realizes he is not a denizen of Dreamworld, but the God of
Dreamworld, the dreamer grants himself sovereignty over that world.

Lucid Living

Could it be that Lewis Carroll was quite right when he suggested that “Life is but a
dream”? My answer to the question is yes. A profound thought … that life is a dream.
 “No, no,” you say. “Life is substantial, dream is not. Life is something we can see,
hear, taste, touch.” Do we not have the same sensations in dream? Always, the world in
which you happen to open your eyes, whether Dreamworld or Wakingworld, appears to
be real. Why? Because you believe it to be real. Now … if you take the point of view of
your higher self, you’ll see that life on Earth is a dream.

“Higher self?” you say. “Now you’re going mystical on us.”

No, I’m not going mystical. I’m going scientific. Reference the biology of Dr. Bruce
Lipton, who demonstrates that our bodies are fantastic transceivers made up of trillions of
microprocessors (cells). (“Transceiver” = transmitter + receiver.) Lipton likens bodies
to the transceivers we call radios. “Who are we?” Lipton asks, “the radio-bodies or the
broadcast stations that play through the radio-bodies?” The real You, Lipton suggests, is
the broadcast station, not the radio.

Traditionally, we refer to our broadcast station as “higher self.” We could come up

with other labels, of course. Picking up on David Bohm’s division of life into explicate
and implicate orders, we could label higher self “implicate self.” That’s good. Has a
scientific ring to it. Or …

Following the description of the structure of existence that Jesus the Christ provides in
the “Sophia” [Nag Hammadi Library], we could call the higher self “higher god.” You
are a god, you know. Nothing special … we’re all gods. According to the Christ, Source
(the primary frequency wave) wanted to know what it was, and so it looked upon itself as
in a mirror, i.e., it looped its frequency-wave, crossing itself with itself, thus creating at
the point of intersection a lower frequency domain. The point of intersection was the first
big bang. Created in the process, the Christ says, was “the Generation of the Gods.” How
many gods were created? Their number, the Christ says, is limitless.

Going Lucid

The idea that our “reality” is simply one of a number of realities (fractalic no doubt)
existing in different frequency domains is quite interesting, particularly when coupled
with the understanding that going lucid (adopting the perspective of higher self) gives us
power over the domain in which we happen to have our house, wife & kids, etc.

I’ll leave the matter there for the moment, with just one final thought: We Westerners
should give some serious attention to the work of up-grading our body-mind computers
via whatever lucid living program works for us, as meeting the Wakingworld challenges
we’ll be facing during the next several years will require something like a super-human
effort.
