Merging Realities (Waking & Dreaming)
I have noticed as many others have that waking life and dreams share various universal laws, such as that of creation and can be considered to be just another layer of a dream. In dreams we are free to create and manifest anything imaginable. I have found that this is true in waking life also, except the extend that we are able to differs. Whether we know it or not, we create everything that we experience, mostly unconsciously or unaware. I also tend towards the idea that we dream our waking reality into existence (Topic for another time I guess, but still relevant). Now this creation always starts with a thought that then gains momentum (energy) and eventually manifests itself via something external to us (Seeing, Hearing,...) which often seems like coincidence when we are aware of our thoughts. Now this law of creation applies to us individually and also as a collective so we create our own individual realities but also share a larger one. This explains why people are able to do extraordinary things, yet when there are other witnesses they may be unable to do so. There is a clash in thoughts about what is possible and generally the thoughts of the collective have been brought to believe that certain things are impossible. Yet I believe this is how miracles occur and how highly evolved beings such as Jesus may have indeed done the things that has been said.
My idea now is whether we can increase this level of manifestation in our waking life to that of a dream where we may instantly manifest our reality. The majority of times people start to lucid dream there is always the question of whether one could confuse waking reality to that of a dream. It seems highly improbable based on experience to confuse the two based on the way it feels, but it seems as though there is always the fear of it happening. So I wonder if this should be the goal. To merge realities and make waking reality as close to a dream as possible.
I know that huge problem in this is that we are always changing our minds and hardly focus on exactly what we want but also a lot of times we may manifest "wanting" something rather than "having" or "experiencing" it.
Just felt like it was time to share this to see what other people think about this and to hear your ideas and experiences if any. Any and all input is helpful since I just want to build a bigger image in my mind and learn more as there are bound to be gaps in my knowledge and experience. Feel free to move this to a more appropriate forum if needed.
sorry, EDIT: got it "Law of Attraction" = LOA
I Googled "LOA" and got "Leave of absence (???)

I just wanted to add that people have had real results that are not just psychological. Three job opportunities have come into my life with little to no physical effort on my part. My last job LITERALLY walked through the door while at a not-so-great job. I'm at not-so-great work and they walk in the store informing me they are hiring and I'm like, great, hire me! At the time, even though I wanted a new job, I gave up on craigslist and gave up on physically job hunting. I left it all up to the universe to figure it out. So no physical effort plus belief equaled job.
Call it a coincidence if it makes you happy. But my experience tells me its real!
I've been wanting to merge dream reality and waking reality! Sure, LOA. But also, I believe in an omnipresent consciousness. And this is old school spiritual stuff. Its christian. Its hindu. Its buddhist. In dreams our subconscious is omnipresent! When we become lucid we can realize this and literally say "My subconscious is manifesting itself as everything in the dream. My subconscious is being both the dream characters and the dream landscape. I am literally inside of my subconscious, and even though my subconscious is now an environment around me, my subconscious is also still inside of me! And it is me." See! Our subconscious is omnipresent in dreams.
So I thought, its nice and all to say I believe in an omnipresent consciousness, but wouldnt it be great to take it a step further and experience that, for real?
I want to apply what I've learned in lucid dreams to waking life! I started doing that this week. When I'm awake, I focus on my environment much like when I'm lucid and tell myself that everything I'm looking at is all the stuff of mind. After awhile I get on a trippy buzz holding those thoughts! I also thought, for those who are interested in the LOA, its much easier to approach it if you approach it like a dream.
I tell myself "Okay, if I wanted to change the dream, how I do that while lucid?" And then I do that!
