Thread: Weird experience saying "higher self" in LD

will try and tell u as soon as i got a lucid dream

How bizarre. You've found some sort of dream-reset button for yourself. Any ideas why this happens? What comes to mind when you think of the term "Higher Self" while awake?

Maybe subconciously you are taking the phrase "higher self" literally, which then actually makes you actually go higher? Just something to consider.

I wish I knew what it meant. On a whim I decided to try it after reading some threads about dream guides and listening to a guy on youtube talk about meeting his higher self while lucid dreaming.

Higher self kind of means something to me out here, but it's more of a vague concept that may or may not be accurate dealing with past lives, where we go when we die, how we're just a piece of something bigger, etc. In the dream world I literally had no expectations of what would happen, which is why the pulling thing was weird. And I don't feel like it's a dream reset, but more like I should be pulled somewhere, but maybe I'm not ready yet, or maybe I can't ground lucids well enough (they tend to not last more than a few minutes for me).

I doubt it's my subconscious forcing me upwards because it thinks "he said higher self! up he goes!" But maybe I'll try saying "lower self" and see if I drop down somewhere.

Well, when most people imagine a spiritual version of themselves, they tend to imagine them upwards, like in heaven or higher plane or other equivalent. As humans we tend to associate hight with clarity and greatness. I don't know why, but nobody ever aims to "Descend to a Lower version of themselves" but rather "Ascend to a Higher version".

Kindof a roundabout way of saying it, but maybe you are searching for your higher self by going upwards? Who knows.

yeah probably your mind doesn't really understand what "higher self" implies (not that I do), and just does that

think of consciousness as a ladder.... i know exactly what you mean. You exist simultaneously in 11 dimensions. We are now in the 3rd dimension. (well you are) what is meant by the higher self is a higher dimension of yourself! Its really hard to explain, but the higher selves exists within you, as well as above you. Become your higher self, is like climbing a ladder to get a better view.

Would that person happen to be ReeceJones87?

Yeah. His older videos are great because he just says whatever comes to mind into the camera. In his latest series he preps everything like he's doing it for a public speaking course.

For anyone else reading this thread, I wasn't really looking for reasons why the higher self thing happened to me, that's all speculation. I was just wondering if it was just me or if other people had similar experiences.

you want a more in depth conversation? wrong forum

Uh, not more in-depth, just want to have people try it and let me know if it happens. Hell, yes/no would be fine. And I started this thread in the GD forum by the way, mod moved it.
