Using DCs to access forgotten memories/subconscious

You know how psychiatrists can use hypnosis to regress the patient back to their childhood?

1. If you asked a DC about memories from your childhood that you have long forgotten, would the DC give you an accurate answer?

2. If you scanned a list of 10 names, but can't recall them when awake, if you asked a DC for the 10 names, would it give you an accurate answer?

3. Could you want a DC to give accurate information, but they don't?

I am very interested in using LD to recall childhood memories and access the vast power of the subconscious mind.

Thanks in advance for all replies. :)

That's a really interesting idea! Haven't a clue whether or not it would work, but by all means try it. I imagine there is some sort of link or similarity between hypnosis and lucid dreaming -since they both make use of the subconscious mind I guess.

I don't know, but now I wanna know! Great questions.

yeah really nice questions when i finally have a LD im gonna try it

Well I believe with practice one can access The Akashic Records through LDing, so perhaps you can recall former experiences by accessing the Records through a DC. For me, it always appeared as a very large book on a very large shelf though, because I've always associated books with knowledge, it might be different for everyone, who knows? None of my other friends are interested.

That's a really interesting question. I would guess that if those memories are in your subconscious somewhere, you could access them through a dream. I wonder how much your life experience and what you are expecting to hear/feel would color those memories, though. I think it's a great idea to try but I wouldn't count on the memories being accurate.

You can access past memories through meditation as well. But trying it in a lucid dream seems like a really interesting idea too.

For me the Akashic Records have been an enormous hall, dimly lit with golden light, high cathedral-like ceilings, with rows and rows of huge ornate books that tower to the ceiling. A few people were calmly flying around and looking through the books, as though they do this everyday. Everyone there had wings. I got the impression it was a place you could only visit if you have wings, but that you can sort of "pick them up at the door, and leave them on your way out" if that makes any sense. It was clear that everyone and anyone has the potential ability to visit this place and gain wisdom and knowledge, but they don't. Most are too blind to its existence. Also, there was some strange rule that I couldn't quite grasp. What you learn while you are there, looking through the records, you cannot bring back with you to 'this' plane of existence. "The books don't leave the library"...sort of deal. But what you learn there is never forgotten...and there is always a link connecting you in this world to it, if you know how to use that link...then you can access that information. Sadly I have yet to figure that out.

it may be a stupid question, but what are these Akashic Records?

I've thought about trying this before, with the application of seeing a relative i've only seen once in my life several years ago when i was little (i'm 20 now). I can't remember what their face looks like, but i know that it's in my subconscious somewhere, and if i see it, i know that i'll recognize it. The only problem is that i'm afraid to try because i might miss them, and there is no chance that i could have anymore contact with that person (they're not dead). What would some of you do in this situation?

Absolutely don't be afraid to try for fear of missing this person. As I've uncovered more and more memories from childhood, being a toddler, and even a baby...I've discovered that the gift of a memory is quite possibly the most amazing thing I've ever received. It's definitely worth it.

Those are some good thoughts man... What if we could find out hidden desires, etc. through DC's? That would mean DC's are simply manifestations of the subconscious... which is trippy to think about. IF that is true... what does that say about settings in your dreams? Times of day... situations. Do these all say something about you and your current behavior or something? Haha idk I'm just rambling. :shock:

Thanks Aquanina. This isn't a topic that i can bring up around other people without creating an uneasy atmosphere. So the anonymity of a forum makes it easier for me to discuss this. Considering what you said, i only have one memory of this person and that was the one an only time i've seen them. It would be nice to see their face again, and maybe even re-live the moment in an ld. Although I'm still a little fearful, i might just give it a shot.

ive been trying to do this for awhile, but unfortuanetly as soon as i wanted to i havnt been able to have a lucid dream.
i posted something like this in beyond dreaming awhile back, i think it would be cool if in your dream, you walked into a room with a large amount of tvs or projectors, each with a different memory. i imagine the room would be endless, and hopefully organized in some manner haha.
either that, or asking a dc as you suggested.
hopefully ill get back into dreaming soon.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akashic_records

DCs should be able to do this since usually they are part of your subconscious. So I don't see why your subconscious self wouldn't be able to access some of your subconscious information.

I agree. Your DC's should at least be able to access your own subconscious, they are created from your own mind and subconscious after all, but perhaps this can only be done with a firm self belief that it's possible and a pursuance of such task to prove so.

I wonder if anything that you remember really happens or is just made up.. like everything else :O

yup I have been thinking about this for a while now- I used to speak greek fluently now I have half-forgotten it. I am thinking by using LD's I can 're-activate' that knowledge

if dc's are their own person, so to speak, then wouldn't they each see your past from their own unique subjective perspective?

something about akashic records implies objectivity to me, which would imply beyond character at all...

i would think AP would be better for that. going back in time and viewing the event.

however even then... how accurate is memory, ever? aren't there some who argue that memory is at best something cobbled together in present time, taking emotions and logic and current needs into account, a dynamic linear program, so to speak? even if it is viewing past events?

Who says an astral projection can't be a lucid dream? Or vice versa? I often start out in a lucid dream and through meditation can progress to higher astral planes. But it's still all a lucid dream to me. None of this stuff can be proven, so everyone's individual opinion and interpretation is really the only one that matters.

I agree with Aquanina. It is all connected. Once you're lucid, it is easy to bounce around to other altered states.

It's not the same planes but through lucidity and meditation I think it is easier to acess both.

I've never bought into this whole "planes" nonsense. I think it is just a useful model for comprehending the experience. Don't let it begin to limit you. Only use the model so far as it is useful, then abandon it in favor of the real experience.

Today I was shown a very, very old book. It was from deep in my childhood, probably around 5-8 years old. The book had been long since forgotten, and it almsot brought me t tears seeing it again, I am now ENTHRALLED by the idea of using DC's to access older memories, I think it would be an AMAZING experience!

DC's can't even answer my simple questions. I doubt the things they say or do will help me with forgotten memories.

In lucid dreaming:

You are asleep

Your location is whereever you wish it to be (desert, ocean, future, past, mom’s house, etc.)
Your consciousness is still inside your body
You can control the environment and characters
When the experience is over, you simply wake up

In astral projection:

You awaken, then you project
Your experience is real
Your experience begins in your bedroom, or wherever your body is
Your consciousness is outside of your body, and your body is left with none
You can manipulate your environment in the astral realm (somewhat), but you cannot control the actions of the inhabitants of the astral plane.
When the experience is over, you return to your body and merge your consciousness back into it

What......exactly, is used to dignify the astral experience as "real" respectively to the Lucid Dream.

Do not state such things as fact, and if you do...be prepared to cite your legitimate sources please.

And I have some major issues with your generalizations.

In lucid dreaming:

You are asleep
(obviously)

Your experience is a dream
(again, obviously)

Your location is whereever you wish it to be (desert, ocean, future, past, mom’s house, etc.)
(not always)

Your consciousness is still inside your body
(how do you know?)

You can control the environment and characters
(um no, a lot of people find they have very little control actually)

When the experience is over, you simply wake up
(not always, you might enter a non-lucid dream, lucid dream, AP, etc)


In astral projection:

You awaken, then you project
(you're saying that you are not asleep? what does "project" mean, how do you do it? sources please?)

Your experience is real
(as opposed to...fake? please clarify.)

Your experience begins in your bedroom, or wherever your body is
(definitely not always, maybe for the lower "earthly" astral planes, but anyone with knowledge about AP will tell you that you can access higher astral planes through LDing)

Your consciousness is outside of your body, and your body is left with none
(proof? evidence? sources? anything?)

You can manipulate your environment in the astral realm (somewhat), but you cannot control the actions of the inhabitants of the astral plane.
(actually agree with you on this one)

When the experience is over, you return to your body and merge your consciousness back into it
(again, there is absolutely nothing to prove this, it's what you believe, do not state it as fact)

...and I'm sorry for crapping up a wonderfully terrific thread, but some people need to get their shit straight or at least stop generalizing and stating their opinion as fact.

I agree with you on pretty much all of that, but he said you "can" have control, not will. I know its just symantics but its worth noting that.

Particularly good point on being outside and inside of your body. It could all be an elborate dream. People claim to move things during AP then find them moved, but maybe they moved them previously sub-consciously. I know I often close doors, turn off lights, and do stuff not because I want to but because its habbit.

completly agree. astral projection is like misguided MILD in my opinion since you can use MILD for anything- the point is you know it's in your head. The only way to 'prove' it was an astral projection is if something happened while you were asleep and you saw it in your projection or just saw something you wouldn't have been able to see otherwise and later verified it to be true


otherwise, you could use MILD to "astrally project" yourself to your minds rendition of the egyptian afterlife or to wonderland or World of Warcraft for all it's worth it won't make it true just cause 'you believe'

Who said anything about fact? I simply gave you my opinion, and like I've said if you read my previous thread I mention that we can call it whatever we want but it seem like you have a problem with my opinion and my experiences... Oh Well. I didn't join this forum to lay down fact and to start arguing and cursing and all with DV members, you can do that on YouTube or Myspace as far as I know. You want sources, Proof and all, guess what? there isn't any because as of right now all the proof is in ourselves and in all our experiences.

It was the way you wrote it that made it sound as if you were giving conclusive answers.

Well don't be so surprised when people question you.

Well they can question as much as they want but when they get an answer they don't like all of a sudden the answers became conclusive to them. But I can careless what anyone think anyway, it's probably better to answer a DV question through PM only, that should save me all the headache.

No offense but, sometimes, our perceptions are wrong. A nice example is the old geocentric belief that the sun rotates around the earth.

From my experience and from my point of view as an earth inhabitant i would be lead to believe in this. But science has discovered and proved that the heliocentric model is the right one and the old empiric belief was abandoned.

I'm not saying you are wrong but i can't say you are right either...

one thing i've learned here is that i need to treat dc's with respect and like they are individuals. not computers or slaves or even here just to serve my own agenda.

what if dc's are their own person? then maybe each of them has a unique perspective? maybe you are better off asking them *if* they can help and what *part* of the puzzle they might be able to help you with?

then presumbaly just like in waking life some might be able to help you and some won't and some will have an accurate persective and who knows... maybe some won't and while some could be helpful, maybe some might even be devious or simply have no idea?
etc.

bg~~~

I am surprised that no one has provided a conclusive answer, or any supporting evidence based on their own experience.

Because I can't achieve lucidity easy, I have to rely on other more "gifted" dreamers to ask the DCs the questions. It wouldn't take more than 30-60 seconds in a dream.

Can someone please give it a go? A question about your childhood could be "what present did I get for my 10th birthday?".

Thanks in advance to anyone who gives it a shot. :bowdown:

@Junknown:
I actually think that there is a gravitational center betwine the Sun and the Earth. Where bot rotate around. But the mass of the Sun is making this point almost the same position as it self.

@TheDreamKing:
Well, what I actualy like about this forum are the more scientific ways that most users think about the experiences caused by lucid dreams.

The simple fact of my own awarness is far enough to give me the knowledge that existenc and the universe is fare more then a big physic simulation.
BUT my experience and mind tells me that all this mystic, astral, gods and invisible pink unicorns are EITHER made up by some deluders to controll other people to there advantage (e.g. for money).
Or made up and maintained by people with bad scientific education and e.g. religios imprinting.

Of course the Flying Spaghetti Monster is an exception. ;)

Back to the topic:
I'am my self a very interessted in this. But because im still learning to even get a lucid dream it will take me some time to test it for my self.
In my case there are suppressed memoryes that I (more or less) want to remember.

well i still think you have to ask the right dc... one who would actually know the answer.
i am not sure you could ask any old dc.
so the answer may be harder to obtain than you think.
which dc to ask?
the drunk you meet on the street?
the floozie? the power lifter?

you would have to meet your parents or the one who gave you the gift or was there, for starters, right?
and who wants to tell you and who also can remember...
etc...
