Crazy question

[Kuki]

I`ve just read about entering other realms (worlds?) during astral projection. If it is true, do inhabitants of these realms see the explorer? If yes, what do they think of them? Are these explorers gods for them? Or ghosts and monsters? What if our god (i mean christan god, but it works with any religion) was just a dreamer from other realm? Yeah, I know it`s a little crazy but it is also curious Btw - sorry for grammar.

Those aren't crazy questions at all, and they're questions that I wonder about a lot. Apparently I'm one of those people who ends up in other worlds when I sleep. It's interesting how the inhabitants view me, and how I view them. Some of them have even recognized me as a Dreamer, which is pretty intense to say the least. I don't mean to do it, I just sorta end up in these places. But you pose some good questions. Very thought-provoking.

It`s ineresting - if we can do what we want in our dreams (if we control them) then what happens when we try to change other realms? Is it possible? What if it is? Do we stimulate evolution of their inhabitants? Or do we destroy any kind of civilisation thah they`ve built so far? Do beings who saw us end in their psychiatric hospitals? Or are they considered as prophets who have heard god`s word? If they recognize You as a "dreamer" they must also dream and obviously, they have to know a lot more about dreams than we. What if dreams are their lives and they wake up only to satisfy their phisiological needs? (This one is kinda stupid - who would "live" to produce food and such? But they can be powerful enough to have slaves to do this)

If they have recognized that she is a dreamer I would presume they have a great understanding of the whole dream world and astral plane. They may be a more advanced culture and their world doesn't necesarily have to be as sturdy to the rules as our's is. Or maybe they just inhabit the astral plane as some sort of drea figures with no real body in any physical world(in "Waking Life" on of the character states that when we die we just move on to inhabit the dream world forever, without being able to wake up) I don't think you should be able to go and mess up their world. I have heard that you don't always have your full powers in situations such as these...

Dream world inhabitants seem strange. In my last LD, they recognized me as a dreamer. In other LDs I just play "normal" and try to get some information out of people... In some of my earlier dreams, I combatted dream characters, and may say they are very well prepared, even tho their powers are no match to mine... And yes, I played both god and devil in my LDs. But my good intentions gone wrong on a couple of occasions, so I dont practice it anymore... Neutral is the best...

I believe we are inferior to them..we are far from gods for them..we are..puny beings sort to speak, dont be mistaken, the control you have in the mind bubble, is not there in the actual astral plane, so you are not that strong. I believe the astral plane is the plane above this one, a higher plane, a more evolved plane then this one, which we shall all pass on to once, when we reach semi-enlightment

What sorts of things inhabit the astral plane? Are there any kinds of monsters that can be a danger while you are there? You know, during astral projection and stuff?

I truely believe there is something more with the human race. I think our people are significant, and I believe all living things understand this. This is just my opinion on the matter. I don't think power has anything to really do with it on an AP level. I don't think we as humans understand the potential that lies deep within us all. Our Origin. I believe in intelligent life forms and there is a reason why they choose to come millions of light years away just to monitor us. If we weren't anything special then word would've gotten out right? For instance. Aliens who have visited this earth 1000's of years ago would've gave word to others "Hey those earthlings are nothing special they are so prehistoric. You would be wasting your time to travel to such a system" But yet they have technology far beyond our wildest imagination and they've continued to frequent this planet. There is something extremely special about the human race.

I agree, the problem is I am sure we are drifting away from this... I believe we are progresively getting more involved in those things that truly do not matter rather than embrace what really does, what makes us human. Feelings, logic, and all that that is uncharted for many, like LDing, APing, meditation, etc We must return to our roots, embrace what is within us rather than think that only material possesions can make us complete...

Agree with posts above ! I like the idea of human potential...

Man, I can't believe I have been missing this thread so long! It is exactly for that reason that I believe in behaving myself while Lucid dreaming. What if you are a 'Godlike being' in another reality when you sleep and you are killing, raping and pillaging the inhabitants?
