Thread: Introducing myself, cos im new :)

I just wanted to see if there was anyone else out there like me as I feel rather alone in the real world without anyone to compare notes with.

Lokabrenna,

Like you, I have always beeen able to LD and OBE .

I go back to places in my dream world often. And like you they are the same and the people are the same. Some of the people from this world are there repeatedly. I have the sense that I work with them over there doing things all the time. It is very familiar. there are several locals that I particularly like to return to.

Dream time is very different for me also. I have come to the realiztion that for me time is a relationship not a thing. The relationship is different here sometimes also.

I have not found that many people who remember being "out" as long as you and I and I am 60 years old and have been asking many people these questions over the years. But there are others.

I can be in what seems like a year long dream and be back to this reality just a short time later. I remember one dream where I had three years of memories when I woke up. Once when this was all newer to me (the time thing), I thought that my body surely was dead since I had been "gone" for so long. Didn't bother me much. I was just noting it.

I would be interested to hear more of your experience and what you have found meaningful in your travels.

Hi Dallyup52,

Its nice to know someone else has a dream 'world' with the same people and places too.

As for what I have found meaningful in my travels, I think the main thing is my relationships in my dream world are very honest and emotional. I enjoy these personal relationships, and i feel very connected to whoever it is I am with in my dreams in a very special way. These dream relationships and people have helped me explore all sides of my personality and sexuality and have helped me clear away some personal demons. So lucid dreaming, and being in my dream world is very healing. Unlike the real world, I can drop into and out of many relationships in my dream world, with no hurt or jelousy from anyone, its very liberating and i often feel warm and in love when waking from a dream and being with someone there that I love deeply.

I am an artist, I am also bi-polar (in the uk we call it manic depressive), with a very short bi-polar cycle. My dreams have helped me deal with this also, and I often 'see' paintings in my dreams and reproduce them IRL. This is soothing also, and helps when I am especially depressive or manic. It's interesting that my lucid dreams became very regular when I was on anti-depressant medication and would sleep for most of the day, this it seems is when my dream world formed, but its never gone away even though I no longer take medication.

I am happy in my dream world, at ease, and its a fun and beautiful place. Though some of the dream charaters I encounter are not happy, but i help them and they work towards being happy.

I wonder if this is parts of me, that need healing, and through my dream self helping these 'other' selfs, I am healing my own emotions?

In my dream world there is a cinema, large park with lush gardens and a old country house, simple and fancy restaurants, peoples homes, suburbs with manicured lawns, a school, a city with dark broody alleys, I can travel between these areas and they remain the same and in the same place.

I also have a horse, he arrives when i need him, and hes loyal and easy to ride, with no saddle or reins. I used to ride IRL. There is also a small black cat, like i used to have IRL, and also a large black panther, massive, who comes to my shared house sometimes and sleeps with my small black cat. He also talks to me, and I think may be my guide.

If anyone is interested i am an ENFJ, with an IQ of 162. Dunno if that makes a difference! I used to be a regular roleplayer, and i have a VERY active imagination!

At some level very high up everything is us. IMO.

In my dreams I have, when I am lucky, encounters with parts of my "soul connection". These are those parts of me that I feel this "in love" with experience that is so deep and accepting and no matter what it is always there.

These people (hard to call them "people", more like parts of my soul split off), for me, are here in this reality also. When I come back to them, no matter how long it has been, they are always there for me and I for them. It may be that we are not supposed to be married or lovers but we are certainly able to experience this exquisite love/connection.

I wonder if this is parts of me, that need healing, and through my dream self helping these 'other' selfs, I am healing my own emotions?

I certainly heal/harmonize myself in the Dream Scape.
