I find it easier nowadays, perhaps in being simply honest with my desires, to create directives for my own subconscious state. I'm not sure where it originates from, but I would be willing to discuss it with others - but it is not the point I am currently attempting to get to.
So I created a mental realm and stated, simply, that all other dreamers were invited to come; all those willing to join could do so.
I don't know if it was a simple deterioration of my consciousness or some supernatural knowledge gifted to me by a dream state, but I came to the understanding that this sort of thing was not uncommon, and with every waking moment that people interact with oneanother there are also people in dream-state doing so in a similar manner.
I must admit, for the sake of all honesty, that I came to DV because of my own discomfort with 'lucid-living.' While I had hoped to create a dream environment built around understanding and compassionate fellow dreamers, instead I found myself in the midst of strange and sometimes wonderous representations of the same types of people I inhabit my everyday life with.
Suffice to say, most of us were represented in equal fashion on the darkside; those who would rob me and harm me were the wolves in the woods, while I was, of course, the rabbit.
There are those who explain dreams as... DMT, is that right? A chemical reaction. No supernatural origins. No importance other than a subconscious release valve. I don't doubt this whatsoever, because it isn't that hard to believe that I could invent such a place and situation in my subconscious, with a wide range of equally ficticious people to join me there.
It is my honest theory, however, that a person could in fact construct an alternate reality of equal depth to this one, and that such a person, if capable of maintaining a meaningful existence in both, would transcend the inherient boundaries of 'self' and become the first true force of balance in the world.
At this point I suppose I have no option but to see what happens.
Tonight I see if I can survive the wolves. Let them come.
