This reminds me of some conversations I've had with dream characters where they explain something to me that I don't remember ever having learned previously. If I'm generating the character in my dream, shouldn't I already know everything they have to tell me? Apparently it does not work that way. Dreams are able to surprise us.

I've always just assumed there is a more powerful level of consciousness that we have partial access to in the dream state. If this is true, the dream state may just enable us to remember something we previously ignored and process massive amounts of information quickly. Like we have brief access to a genius mind with a photographic memory and limitless creativity.

Of course, anything is possible. It is always possible that we have contact with something larger than ourselves when we dream. If this (unlikely) scenario is true, the possibilities get much more exciting. Astral teachers

Well my theory is that while dreaming, you reexperience the bad things that happened in your previous lives, and you also get back your skills you have learned in your previous lives.

EDIT: Do not ask me what "previous" lives are, because my theory would require a new topic xD
I have many reasons to believe that we lived before this "current" life.

Thanks for responding!

I wouldn't know where to begin to try to prove these occurrences, but many family members have witnessed these waking episodes countless times. Even peers outside my home recognize a difference in my skills. Normally the questions of "where did you learn this, did you go to school for this, how do you know how to do all these new things??" arise.

Yesterday was the very first day of my life I decided to put myself out there and try to find others with similar experiences after thoroughly researching this with no closure.

I don't know if I am lucid dreaming or not. To be honest I never practiced trying to control my dreams or having any realization I am doing so consciously or subconsciously. I will try to explain to the best of my ability what occurs on these particular days.

1. Before I go to sleep on any of those nights, I know when I am going to have one of these episodes. I consciously know that they are going to occur and I even warn my wife to it like second nature now, due to the fact it usual means a sleepless night for her.

2. My wife witnesses me sitting up with my eyes wide open as if I am awake talking to someone or something or perhaps even myself. Sometimes she says that I am looking right at her talking to her and even speaking in other languages fluently( I only speak English). She also goes on to say that when this is occurring it looks like me but it isn't me. Initially she was scared of this but now she has come to terms with it. This goes on for much of the night. In the past she has attempted to wake me up but cannot at all.

3. When I awake the next morning I cannot recall anything. Although I feel like I haven't slept a wink. Something tells me I was very active but again I cannot ever recall anything I was doing or saying.

4. After these nights occur I find myself during that day falling into some sort of what I would call a trance state. This is when I start doing something that I have never done before way beyond any my educational background, experience and or expertise. In the main example I gave in my initial post I explained I was able to navigate, crack, hack, program etc. To many others out there this is something they had learned or studied. I was able to do all these things within seconds of logging onto my pc without ever doing it before. But when I am doing these things I recall staring at my computer in almost a sleep state. Like I just let go and something takes over. Like I am staring through the pc. Like I am recalling something I already knew inside me. When this occurs I don't fight it, I don't control it , I go with it. It feels natural, it feels like I knew it all along but how could I. I mean I am doing things I never ever seen anyone do without 3rd party software or services. I will also share that when I am in this state sometimes I don't even know how I got there or it feels like a blink of an eye and I had accomplished it within seconds of beginning it. Almost like no times has passed at all. This has happened countless times to me. I consciously remember asking myself "what are you doing" but the end result always confirms it was something I needed to know and be able to do. Not like a worthless skill. This even happens with my interaction with people the very next day after that night's episode. I find myself conversing with someone but not listening to them verbally speak but staring so deep within their eyes that I see and hear them and know all their intentions. I cannot say I control this but rather when I feel like I totally let go it occurs. Again I feel like I am in a trance state. ( I sound crazy)

I was in our chat yesterday and I was sharing an experience in my life that I always go back and think about since it is where and when these episodes began for me. It happened when I was 15, I fell 35 feet out of a tree onto pavement. I can recall being knocked out and the feeling was amazing. They said I was out for approx 12 minutes. When I awoke I felt very different. I was so angry, very mad at them for reviving me. They picked me up and placed me on my Youth Group Directors bed and proceeded to have bible study. They attempted to reach my parents and then 2 hours later my Dad shows up yelling and screaming at them. Wondering why they didn't call 911 or bring me to the hospital. My Father brought me to Coral Springs Medical Center and after a few hours of being there, countless X-Rays, they sent me home with having a slight concussion. My Dad brought me home and I went to sleep, 4 hours later the hospital called and my Dad came running into the room and asked me not to move. The hospital picked me up and brought me back to have a CAT scan only to find I had broken my back and neck. They couldn't believe I was walking around this whole time with a broken neck and back. They had overlooked the X-Rays. They immediately sent me down to Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami. During all this time something happened and I lost total feeling in my whole left side of my body. I couldn't move at all.

I remember it like it was yesterday. Seeing the doctors talking to my Mom and Dad. I knew it was bad. The doctors later came in and told me that one of the bones from the burst fracture in my neck had damaged my spinal cord. That I would never regain those functions again. Weeks passed and I am in full traction in the hospital and this is when the first episode I can recall occurred. I had fallen asleep and woke up like I felt as I described above. Felt like I hadn't slept at all. Like I was in a trance. Then all of a sudden I was scratching my face with my left arm. I believed I could and I did. I knew I was fine and told myself so. I regained all my motor skills. I was no longer paralyzed. I can go on and on about this particular situation as everyone was saying it was a miracle and Doctors were puzzled/dumbfounded. I made a full recover with NO impairments to date.

I am sharing one of my life stories with you because I truly believe that this particular incident is what started all of it for me. As I was stating earlier, when I fell and awoke I was so angry. This was a new feeling for me. It didn't feel like me at all. What I am trying to say is, It felt like my conscious and my subconscious flipped places. Because immediately following me being revived I was so different. I always had embraced religion, believed everything I was taught, told and shared with me. In an instance I threw it all out. Like I could see through all the lies and BS. I was de-programmed in an instance. There was such clarity and I took out the trash without second thought. It felt like Brian but was the other side of Brian. It's very difficult to articulate this.

Another example of this occurred when I was 21. I went to the Doctor for the standard HIV/VD tests. I knew inside me that I had contracted it. I can't explain it but knew it. Yet again the night previous to going into the doctor I had one of my sleep episodes. I went in and sat down in his office and as he was speaking but I found myself in that trance state again. I was able to hear him and listen but at the same time I was seeing through him and felt I was absent from the conversation. He goes on to say. I have good and bad news. You contracted HIV, Syphilis, and Hep. Your body made an immunity to it, and you are not a carrier either. As most would be shocked, it was as if I already knew. He goes on to tell me I am one of a handful of people worldwide that has this ability. I felt inside of me I knew I had done this and it was me effecting my body.

So not only am I waking up and being able to do new things beyond my capabilities when these episodes occur when I am sleeping but it has translated into me doing remarkable things with my body as well. It must have something to do with effecting your illusion, being in touch with you conscious and subconscious at the same time. Mind over matter, seeing past things, embracing yourself, letting go of control, believing it can be done, tapping into other parts of the brain, able to subconsciously take other peoples skill in sleep, recalling it in a past life perhaps.. I don't know.... I honestly have hundreds of theories.

Any input is greatly appreciated

Brian

"I have elected over the years never to take anything for this condition and always felt it had some sort of meaning to all of it."


That is a great approach you have taken!!! really!!!

I can't really attempt explain the extraordinary phenomenon's you describe. I would have no idea where to start...and it probably would be of no use to you.

the internet, is a wonderful thing (welcome to Dreamviews by the way =]). If you have the desire to find out more then keep on searching. I think you have to done the best possibly thing by coming here to 'find and explanation.' I would advice you to not limit your beliefs along the way, and truely good-luck finding the answers you seek (if you have the desire to do so.)
ANSWERS ARE OUT THERE!!! believe me or not =p




to start you off on some reading, quite a bit actually, (that is not an understatement!) here you go. although it may seem unrelated at first, give it a chance if you can =] if it doesn't work for you, now or ever, don't worry about it, give something else a shot.

http://www.cassiopaea.org/cass/wave_i.htm


those are some fantastic examples of proof by the way!

This is interesting. I'll see if I can find anything on it.

That is a fascinating experience you're having. There's so much to it I don't even know what to say.

I would love to hear a recording of you speaking in tongues. With all the international DV members I'm sure we could figure out what languages they are and what you are saying. Or some video of you in that trance state would be better.

I've heard many accounts of people who develop psychic abilities after a blow to the head or near death experience. Likewise there are many accounts of people who just wake up and have intimate knowledge of something they didn't previously know. But those were all one time deals. You're the first person I've heard of that has that happen repeatedly, which make you an ideal case to study.

I mention this only because I can't think of anything else that might apply to your situation, but have you heard the Akashic Records? I don't expect anything you read on the subject to shed any light on your situation, but being familiar with the concept might help you make sense of things.

My experiences with knowing things I shouldn't know have been small random things as well as some remote viewing. Nothing as broad as what you're picking up, but I've noticed that knowledge comes to me as a particular feeling, not words or images, but a feeling that represents specific things as well or better than words and images could, Just wondering if it feels anythign like that?

Hey Brian! Welcome to DreamViews!
I don't mean to sound like a harsh, narrow-minded boob, I'm in fact very open-minded, I'm just understandably skeptical to your claims.

I'm don't spend my time trying to understand the impossible for hours on end with visionary companions of mine just to let a single person who I know nothing about to come out with ludicrous claims and make me suddenly waste my time thinking up millions of explanations for complex-fiction.

I find your story very interesting and to an extent- believable, but only so much so that I do not wish to bother reading your numerous posts if they aren't real.
Realise, if I wrote a 3000 word essay telling you all about my REAL (REALLY REALLY REALLY REAL) pink, flying unicorn, but nowhere in the whole thing actually proves that I have one, you wouldn't bother reading it.

So please clear some things up-

You contracted HIV, Syphilis, and Hep. Your body made an immunity to it, and you are not a carrier either. As most would be shocked, it was as if I already knew.

1. Is this a dream? Sorry, but I felt I was wasting my time sifting through your post to find out whether this was a dream of yours or reality.

one morning I awoke and got on my pc and was able to navigate, crack, hack, program, and build a pc.

2. How did you find this out? I sound snotty, but seriously, if all this is true- I'm jealous that you have this ability but even though I don't, I still don't wake up in the mornings and deicde to "build a PC"- you need tools to do that shit, as well as hacking and programming, it's like saying- "I awoke, and when I used to be terrible and DIY and joinery, I suddenly built myself a house."<-- "Yeah, I suppose you bought the cement mixer, bricks, wood and tools, too didn't you?

My whole life I have experienced some sort of surreal sleeping disorder I can't seem to diagnose or find any credible information regarding it.

3. This immediately cries "Fiction!" to me.
I've not been able to CLEARLY see any actual discriptions of your nightmares WHAT-SO-EVER in your threads, which appears to be the very main theme of your condition.


Sorry I have to arse with you, but this place is for people who enjoy dabbling in the thought's of the unknown.
I know there are clever people here who will believe you without any explanation at all and will begin to use your story as fuel for their ideas.
I don't want my fellow dreamers and visionaries to be putting any "fake gasoline" into their engines.

Apologies, but please provide some explanatory details to your story, and until you do, I don't recommend pills, but like spaceexplorer says, goblin crackers before bed sound like the best cure.

Thanks!
Jim

EDIT: Sorry, if the story about contracting HIV is real, please enlighten me to when doctors can suddenly- check for a disease which you DID have, then find out that it was cured, then realise it was cured by your body, then completely forget that their fellow doctors all around the world havn't even found a cure yet.
Thanks again!

Happens frequently with babies who've contracted HIV in the womb

Eh? Cusp. Don't let your filter slip, now. Maybe I was a little too strong with the questions, but really, there's no harm in being a bit more inquisitive. I'm a different person but I have the same interest as you, I wouldn't bother posting on a new thread if I didn't have any appreciation of the topic. I'd love this story if it was definitely true, it would be great to understand "sublime" forces in this way, though is this a completely reliable source?
And there's no harm in chilling out, either.

I came back here to see his reply, not to find someone different who, despite my efforts to get accross that I'm not acting like a disapproving arsehole but someone who's actually interested but needs back-up upon the theme, still has to slip in the digust of their thoughts upon someone of the same views, just because of the way they think about it is different to mine; makes the extra effort for me to write a few lines as well, about something off-topic where there's NO need.
---

And really? A fetus has been cured? I'd like an article or something though, doesn't sound right to me, maybe it could have just not contracted it, but still- in his post he said he'd contracted it, - he was 21, is this really the same thing?

I was hoping to get some audio or video of him speaking in tongues. You practically calling him a liar isn't going to help that happen.

Well I don't know if it's cured or just immune. Here's a times article http://www.time.com/time/magazine/ar...978009,00.html, doesn't talk about babies, but sadly there are enough HIV crack babies that it's just a statistical probability that it's going to happen to some of them. Producing a generation of super aids resistant crack whores! Score one for evolution!

I was hoping to get some audio or video of him speaking in tongues. You practically calling him a liar isn't going to help that happen.

Mate, I told you, I've got the same interest as you, I WANT this to be real. I never called him a liar, I just directed the fact that there is a very good chance he could be, because of how unreliable the story is, especially when I've not even heard what these nightmares were like. You know how it is Cusp, people lie about this shit all the time, this story just seemed a little unbelievable to me, that's all, it's not like I want it to be. I believe in very similar things to this but I have my own explanations to it.

And yeah, Hahaha crack babies may be the solution to the problem for once.
But still, interesting article but this does appear to be a great minority, and I still havn't heard his answers yet! Haha, I do want this to be a great intrigue of mine, but I refuse to let it be so without any further explanations, again, apologies for the skepticism, but I'm only just looking out in the best interest for the believers here like yourself and mine.

Though I do like this crackbaby idea, I didn't know about this stuff, they should get some testing done on these critters, well they probably are anyway...

eyecu2009, if you are not lying, you may be be unknowingly tapping into the human collective unconscious. It's the thoughts, feelings, emotions, and beliefs of human beings as a whole.

Which is part of the right brain, imagination, holistic thinking, creativity. Left brain is logic, verbal , detail, science, order, thinking, writing, etc.

Most westerners anyway are left-brainers, and not a lot of right brain. From about 5 years old, we go to preschool or school and most of the right brain goes out the window. We are mostly taught to think logically in school, yea there may be an art class or two, but that's not enough to fully activate right brain.

"The right brain contains the fifth brain circuit which is a holistic, superconscious state and is a major goal of Tantric rituals. Opening the fifth brain circuit, represented by Tiphareth in the Tree of Life, brings the feeling of bliss, a vision of wholeness, the abililty to see holistically, and a neurosomatic ability, among many other benefits. It is also the first step to even higher brain circuits with abilities we almost never tap into."

You can also reach this state via meditation.

Steal ideas right from my head!
This is pretty much the similar way I'd explain this, if it were true, but it seems just a bit too farfetched that everything he's mentioned really is.

yea, it would explain why people who astral project can visit places they've never been before and describe them accuratly when they finish projecting

i know what your saying too Jim, everything does seem farfetched if you've not experienced it or can't explain it.

Just a small point, but it's kind of relevant...
The whole left brain right brain thing is basically a myth, but it was picked up on by self styled "self help gurus" because it comes across as a nice simple explanation and lends itself to little catch phrases like "left brainer".
Basically it sells books and "sounds right". It is unfortunatly not really true.
I too used to believe this stuff, but after deciding to look into the subject more, I realised that it was basically a case of science being badly misquoted and turned into catchy soundbites to sell books and magazines.

If you take the time to study modern neuroscience, you'll soon discover that the left brain/right brain idea is at best misleadingly simplistic and at worst completely misleading nonsense.

People tend to quote this left brain/right brain thing a lot, and it's sad to see that modern research into the area hasn't filtered down to the masses yet.

I have experienced things similar to this before though, like waking up and having strong thoughts in my head about things completely out-of-the-blue, and then they turn to be true. It's just I've never really expected to hear someones story and them throwing around so loosely the two words- "AIDs" and "cured", together.

I think a lot of the people here know about the actuality of this left/right brain crap, but they use it as a simple way of explaining things.

Replying to "The Cusp"
Thanks for responding!

To date I have not attempted to record any of these night episodes. I have always been reluctant to be a guinea pig for any of this. Even when I sought out professional help regarding it, it always left me feeling very empty. I have a real fear of doctors/professionals being the fact it always feels that they are diagnosing you on book knowledge and not thinking outside the box to extend real assistance/insight.

I have never heard of Akashic Records. Many people of the years have guided me towards many different books/research and everything I have always read just confirms things I always seemed to already know. Of course when it comes to learning new skills I find relevance in reading/researching things consciously.

In regards to your experience example, I would say you are on to something. Although what you are saying is extremely difficult to translate for others, I would say I can relate to this. It is something that is feeling based.. But what are feelings derived from? Are they conscious or subconscious projections. Perhaps this is a clue to where these episodes originate as well. ty

You know when I first signed up to this site I came with a positive outlook that maybe there are other's having similar experiences. There has to be other's the odds are that there would be as well. I am definitely not here to waste anyone's time and I do appreciate and any all replies regardless of their intentions. I have learned in life that we grasp a lot of our insights not from simple acknowledgements but rather when we are faced with scrutiny to a degree. It allows us to internalize things and dig deeper into what we are seeking to know.

1. No, it was not a dream. It occurred in real time.
2. I found out but going to see the doctor that administered the blood test.
3. If you read my initial post I never claimed that my nightmares/night terrors are the originating main theme of any condition I can diagnose but rather perhaps a tool that has always been in place to allow for these certain episodes to occur.

My example of the "contracting HIV" and my body making an immunity to that and other VD's was just another example of the remarkable experiences I have had that are directly related to the trance state episode that I have encountered my whole life. A state in which knowledge had been bestowed up on me, a mind over matter experience perhaps.

I would tend to agree that it is something in relationship to the subconscious! I have felt this to be true since originally trying to make heads or tails out of my experience over the years. I have many theories on this as well. I truly believe when I have the night episodes and then I enter into a trance state in somewhat of a conscious state that my subconscious is the one steering the vessel. I think a lot of things are hidden in our subconscious and for us to feel like "ONE" both must meld or marry. This is the reason why I came to this dream site as well. Being the fact I think our dream state = our subconscious state is the key to all of it.

Still, I have some more questions to get the big picture.
You say you know it before the night starts, but how do you know it? Is it a certain feeling (can you describe it)? Do you know beforehand what it will be about (can you control it in any way)?

How often does this occur, roughly? Have you ever tried filming yourself in one of those nights and watch yourself in that state afterwards?

Also, you say that the next day you get into a trance state when applying your newly learned skills. Is it a feeble or a strong trance? Can you stop or control it? Is it like you are just watching yourself do these things or are you actively using your cognitive mind? For example, while programming, do you just let your fingers run over the keyboard or actively thinking about how the structure of the program has to look like and what step has to be done next?

And of course, what other skills are there that you have gained, and would you say that once you have learned one of these skills, can you use it everytime you want afterwards or does it get weaker over time?


It certainly looks like that accident has sth. to do with it in some way (35 feet...damn). I think one of the more rational and not too out-of-this-world solutions would be that during the accident your spine might have penetrated parts of your brains cortal and/or other areas, thereby changing its working and functioning in some way. Have you had your head X-rayed in the recent past and have experts look for strange patterns and structures?

I agree with RobotButler that this seems like some sort of autism or savant-like abilities. These people are able to very efficiently use certain parts of the brain that most people can not acces that way, but almost always this goes hand in hand with a lack in social abilities (for instance, they might not be able to understand sarcasm or read body language at all, because they are so trained on just processing hard and cold information that other parts of their brains come short and are extremely under-developed).

You say that you can basically "read through" people, so that would contradict this theory a bit. Would you consider yourself a normal person in social interactions (probably hard to answer that question yourself)? Or better, how do you think others perceive you while interacting (talking)? Do you think they get confused about your staring them into the eyes? Can you stop that if you want or is it hard to fight it?


Lots of questions , but this is just really intersting and fascinating.

If you could control your ability, this would obviously be great. On the other hand, you say you are seeking help, so you might not be too happy about it and see some dark sides to it, maybe you could elaborate on that point a little more, too.

Hi and thanks again. I will answer in the order your questions were raised in to the best of my ability.

1. I do know when it is going to occur. If I have to translate the feeling into words it would best be described as "great amounts of anxiety, tense physical feeling, usually proceeding me being very tired/drained, a feeling of complete mental exhaustion, like I'm checking out". I never seem to know what it will be about, no. I have stated to many others, I don't seem to control it nor want to. I have whole heartedly felt that not attempting to control it is what allows for it, at least for me. I have always felt strongly in regards to any of this that not controlling it is the secret to it. Totally embracing it, allowing it, going with it, just letting all my walls down is what brings it upon me easier. Perhaps this is why it occurs when I am totally mentally exhausted as well. There seems to be a direct connection with it.

2. I have never filmed it. It happens when I least expect it but often enough that when it doesn't occur I feel as if something is wrong with me. I really should record them, the only reason why I think I haven't attempted to do so is my wife is already on edge every night we go to sleep and recording the event wouldn't give me any personal insight to why it was occurring but rather an entertaining side to it Also, I think that it would consciously seep into my subconscious and this natural occurrence wouldn't come forth.

3. When I enter the trance state following the night episode it seems to be a trance state in which I am consciously aware but not there. Like I had mentioned, sometimes hours went by but felt like seconds to me. I can be disturbed but when that has occurred I feel as if I am extremely bothered by it. I get very angry. Probably since I cannot go back into that state by the means of control so any interference feels like an annoyance and screws me of the journey feeling. I would also add that it does not feel like I am watching myself do it but rather something is coming through me. It feels like I am asleep but I am there.. Like a dream state. This is where I believe it is my subconscious coming through. My motor skills seem to be linked to whatever is holding me in that state. I can't say I have ever made a conscious thought of whether or not I am controlling my appendages during this trance state. I don't actively think about anything. Sometimes I get to the end of it and don't even remember how I began it but what is clear is I retained the ability to do it again consciously on command.

4. Like I tried to explain, the skills set I seem to retain always has something to do with a direction/question I had. Even more so it seems like I needed to retain these new skills for the next ones to build upon. It's always a skills for a solutions or question I had. Never has there been a useless skill retained. What is even stranger is that even though I am retaining certain knowledge that has to do with a particular skill set its meaning is always so much deeper. For i.e.: When I acquired the ability to hack it was in direct correlation to me being involved in the 2001 Enron scandal. In 1999 I owned an attorney's office and my biggest client was the heirs to the land in which Enron oil leased off of. To make a very long story short. These new computer abilities allowed me to find ALL the fictitious corporations, the illegal LLP's and enterprises, the "real" people behind the scene. I had uncovered and put together the entire story behind Enron scandal way before it became public. My research was later subpoena by the Senate Investigation Committee. The lesson I felt I had learned was not one in which I could find a needle in a hay stack but the skills allowed for me to see the bigger picture. The TRUTH if you may. I was part of exposing the Enron scandal but that wasn't the underline objective. For me it was finally seeing the TRUTH on how everything really works in the world. Seeing and knowing the truth behind government, corporations, secret societies, understanding how it all works and completely giving into the idea EVERYTHING IS EXACTLY OPPOSITE of what we have been told/taught. That what we perceive to be true really isn't and that there is so much more behind the scenes that only a few good conspiracy theories have even come close to touch on.

I have learned: to hack, program, build intricate electronics, see and hear things beyond most people's abilities (see people's true subconscious thoughts/feelings written in books, played out in movies, written in songs---way past subliminal conscious outlines), manipulate my body, heal others, mind read, see through people's true intentions, grasp advance science and mathematics, understand time travel and ancient beliefs that correspond with today, break codes, listen to animals, in touch with reality and effecting it in real-time, seeing through layers/years of lies to embrace truth in or society, seeing things before they happen, etc etc etc etc etc. Most seems way too outlandish even for this site.

4. I do feel that my accident when I was younger has had a direct effect on what I have experienced since. A lot of people want to relate this to something physical that had occurred and to a degree I find some relating truth in it. I find comfort in the feeling that all things happen for a reason whether we understand them at that particular time or later find some real relevance to it all. I don't know what could of changed in my brain, or the chemical makeup of my body and the way it functions but it has allowed for something to come through. All test I have ever had have concluded I had NO abnormal brain functions and or damage.

5. I do have the ability to "read through people". No, I don't consider myself to be normal in social interactions. I always feel out of place. Like I am surrounded by people that just don't get it. Not a feeling of knowing more but perhaps seeing and hearing more or just coming to terms with things and not ignoring realities truth. I am not absent in conversations but normally the one that commands a magnetic attraction. People seem to swarm and find a lot of comfort around me. I seem to always draw people but then I also seem to scare them away. This is not anything that is verbally spoken and or body language related but rather I feel as if I am too much for them to compute. They see something that brings a curtain of doubt down around them and they become almost like fear stricken in my presence. But again this has to do with me projecting on them in person. I do think it also has something to do with when I am staring through them. I think something subconscious in them is made aware and it closes down. I still have the ability to see through their curtains even thou this defense is erected. When I am staring at their "eye" I also feel as if it is one of those trance states I have described but it isn't something you can see me doing. I don't uncomfortably stare into their face with body language that can be identified when doing so.

6. Again, I give into control. I allow for these things to come forth w/out any conscious control effort. Perhaps by me mentally acknowledging I won't control it, it is this that allows for it to come out and maybe that is my subconscious way of control. Like I have said before, I don't know how to control these episodes but what I do know how to do it use what I have retained after the awakening has occurred. I am very grateful for having this condition but like everyone else, you find comfort in knowing others are having similar experiences. There are some directly affected fallout from being like this and having these experiences but I firmly believe that we only learn from bad experiences in life---never from the good ones.

Plus, how would autism affect your physical body by making immunities to diseases you've (correct me if I am wrong) never had before? Now that you mention it, it does seem a lot like the abilities your subconscious has got conveyed into your conscious mind. For example, if you hear a loud scream, you may start to correlate other sounds you hear with this, like the sound of a sledgehammer hitting something. Your subconscious might imagine that someone was being murdered with a sledgehammer, and might begin building hallucinations around this. I sometimes read articles about paranormal activities, such as ghosts or demons, and regret it. Soon afterward, I do double-takes when turning corners, because that hat stand by the door at first looks like a ghost holding an axe.

A few questions; you say you know when these "episodes" will happen. Can you stop them from happening? Can you control what new skill you will learn? For instance, say you go back to college for one reason or another. You have a big French test. Will you suddenly pick up French overnight? And can you use these skills without going into the trance?

I suggest trying to perform a WILD, or Wake-Induced Lucid Dream, to see what your mind will create in a dream. The tutorial can be found here: http://dreamviews.com/community/showthread.php?t=66238. See if you can will yourself into learning a new language, math equation, etc. and then wake up with it in the morning. I have a feeling your dreams might in someway induce what you learn. Kindly post your results! I'll wait in anticipation.

Best wishes,

Thanks for replying!

I agree with you 100%. I somehow know there is a direct connection with what is occurring when I am sleeping (subconscious state) and then when I am in real time in a trance state with the subconscious/conscious melded/married as one. I think this is where it crosses over from.

In reply to your question. I have never attempted to control them. For me, it seems that giving into control is the secret. Not attempting or trying to manipulate it allows me to go in and out of these phases. I always relate control to doing something consciously, and when I allow for things to just occur I seem to have these episodes. I really feel that when you get your head involved in controlling things it cannot understand and or relate to a defensive barrier appears to block out what can potential cross over. Maybe this is just how it works for me. But in all honesty when I let go of control I find it works for me.

When I retain new skills it is something I can recall once the trance state episode concludes in real time. I do not have to be in a trance state once that has concluded for me to use the skills again. Like I said in my 2nd post, all the new skills I have acquired always seem to be something I needed to know and or something that would lead me to the next thing I was to fully grasp/understand. I have never had an episode where I gain knowledge to a useless skill. Perhaps this is my journey.. A tool of awakening I am experiencing. Something that is bringing me closer to truth.

Thanks again for your input, it was very useful. Check this topic out under Beyond Dreaming. I believe an admin had copied it over there and it makes it easier for me to keep responding to replies.

The fact that your acquired skill sets relate to problems you were focused on matches what I know about dreaming and reality. My second rule of dreaming is "The more attention you give something, the more related detail it creates."

My guess is you're somehow able to focus your attention on the problem in a certain way so that you create more complete detail on the subject.

The closest thing I can give as an explanation to how this works is a link to a coast to coast radio show where the guest is talking about his multiverse theory. http://isohunt.com/torrent_details/9...am?tab=summary
It pretty much matches my theories on dream control and how dreams and reality work http://dreamviews.com/community/showthread.php?t=57283
We're both describing the same thing, just approaching it from different angles.

I suggest giving the downloading that radio show and giving it a listen. I think you'll find some answers there.
