Hello everyone, I hope you are all having a wonderful day!

Shapeshifting is a topic that I don't see often discussed, much less extension of self.

You all know what shapeshifting is: the transformation of the dream body, which is usually a reflection of our waking life body. One can transform oneself into a different person, an animal, or even an inanimate object, like a rock.

Extension of self, on the other hand, consists in extending what your awareness and being several things. When you shapeshift into an ant your awareness goes to the ant's body, and you feel like an ant. What about extending this awareness into three ants? Or to the whole hive? What about being an entire forest? The trees, the rocks, the birds, etc... What about being two people at once? What about being the Earth and all that it contains? What about being the whole universe?

I haven't really experimented with this, as my lucid dreaming skill doesn't really allow it, however it is something that I am very eager to try in the future!
What about you guys? Do any of you have any experiences in this that you could share? Any opinions or ideas?
