Hahah this is all so interesting! I think they almost have to be hard asses sometimes cuz us humans are so hard headed sometimes, it's the only way to get through to us! Did you see these entities every night without fail after enlisting their help? In regards to the revelation the monk revealed to you, did he say if he still had a physical form yet just chooses to remain in the astral? I didn't know that was possible! Or was he talking about just chilling in the astral until his next incarnation?

Sorry if it seems like I'm grilling you, all of this is just very intriguing to me, and it seems like most of the people here don't delve into this type of stuff. I think I understand what you're saying about using your voice, although I'm still a little confused. Every time I've talked in a dream I didn't really notice any difference between waking life speech and dream speech, but maybe I just wasn't paying attention enough. Does being super aware of the things you're saying make any big changes? Like how you said it's kind of like a silent movie or telepathy, is this because if we don't pay attention to our speech we'll kind of just go through the whole process unconsciously and thus leading us farther away from what we truly want to say?
