A New Experience

[Aneas]

If you have read my postings you will know that I have been LDing for approximately 34 years. In that time I have created about 11 dreamscapes that I visit on a frequent basis. Each area has it's own "feel" which clues me in to my past experiences within its realms. Over the years I have probably been to certain dreamscapes at least a hundred times. While I have a basic overall memory of the past events within an area I have never completely recalled each experience. Monday night I had a first time experience during a visit. Shortly after awakening within an oft visited dreamscape I began what I can only describe as a "total recall". I started remembering the experiences that I had within that realm as if I was watching a movie in fast forward. It was like a complete life review. All my experiences within that realm, though they were scattered over 34 years, merged together as if I had lived only a life within that realm. I actually lost myself to the point that my dream life there was the reality and my life here was the dream. The people I had met, the places that I visited were all connected into one complete, uninterrupted life. This was a unique experience for me that I wanted to share.

That sounds really cool.

Wow... that´s pretty wild. I have a different sort of thing... When I´m doing something totally random, I sometimes just happen to remember a random dream I have had years ago. It´s nothing like your ´total recall´ thing, though.

that sounds like a very incredible experience, thanks for sharing. did you play a role in developing the parameters and conditions of your different dream environments, or have they always had their own feel, and you simply became more familiar with them? or a little of both perhaps? like your sig

Good question Asher. My dream environments were created between the time that I first started Lding and 17 years old. Each place does indeed have a unique feel. Some of them have long histories, like the one where I had a complete recall. Each one serves a purpose because I perform certain specific actions or take on a particulair form dependant upon the dreamscape. For instance, I often visit a place that I call Dark City because it is always night time. When I awaken there I know that my time there will be filled with confrontations with creatures of all shape and form. During my time there I practice shapeshifting. While in Dark City I often come upon creatures that I have not encountered before. When this happens I concentrate and shift to it's form. I need only shift once to retain the feel of the shape and thereafter can take it with ease.
