I was having some interesting conversations with my friends recently about life after death. One of them, Richard, reckoned that he had read about people who believe that, after death, you could have a permanent lucid dream... |
|
well, buddhists believe that if you "gain lucidity" after death by realizing you are dead and everything around you is actually part of you/generated by you then you can achieve the state of nirvana |

TAKE DV members advice with caution! some have had zero or 1-2 LD's yet act like gurus
TOTAL LD's (almost all DILD/MILD) =160!!
new goals: have more LD's than Shift[X]
10-15min LD [ X] Article: A day in the life of an LD-er
the "Mind V.S. Body" Induction technique
Everyman 2 LD's/ sleep schedule progress
I do believe and hope that life after death would be like a permanent lucid dream. Furthermore, I think that dreaming isn't about brain, at least not only. Of course I can't prove it, but that's what i think ;]. |
|
Hehe.. An interesting thought. |

Well, I have thought about this a few times. It really is just me having wishful thinking though. |

I think it would be more like permanent astral projection if anything. |
|
Working on: Daily awareness.
Lucid Task: Reverse the flow of a waterfall and ride up it.
Well, since im christian, im forced and i do go along and have no doubts that you go to heaven after you die as long as you believe in god. so basicly, my thereoy of heaven is exactly like a lucid dream, you can do whatever you want! except for anything bad. |
|
If you WILD, you can tell itll be a WILD night.
agreed. I would believe that after death is a type of Astral Projection... but who knows. |

OMG, really interesting theory/thought. I don't know if I quite beleive it, but heaven (yes I'm christian) is a positive thing and I can picture it to be dream like, so maybe it would be like a LD, but better! |

If you see a strange typo in my post, blame my iPad for that.

At the moment of death, all of the etheric matter in your body (your astral body) is released. This is different from a normal obe because you only project small amounts of etheric matter. If you don't know what I'm talking about, look up astral projection and conscious dying. |

forgot to mention about reincarnation. This is a touchy and contreveral subject, so I'm sorry if you disagree. I believe, as well as many others do, that life is about perfecting your soul. You reincarnate so you can lear "life lessons" if you will, and once your spiritually enlightened enough, you can choose to renincarnate, become a spirit guide or ascend, whatever that means, no one is entirely sure. I'm not a bhuddist or hindu or any religion, I do not condemn or promote any religions, it's all personal beliefs, these are just mine and another perspective on this. |
|
A lot of people also believe that if you die in your dreams, you die in reality. Not true...do not follow the sheep, as they are lost. |
|
Have you watched vanilla sky? Cause this is the plot line. |
|
Man... |
|
What about the pineal and DMT. |

LDs since joining DV:
DILD:56
WILD:2
last LD: Wednesday, March 31, 2010
Strange enough, that actually sounds like a much better view of the universe. It's not my personal view, but if some higher power came down and gave me proof that it worked that way, I would be very happy. |
|
Crazy, but that's how it goes!
http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ad.php?t=16317
Total LD's [6]
Random [3]
WILD [3] (at least, I think they were WILD)
Wow, thanks for all the replies guys. A really interesting topic. |

Everything we are, everything we will be, and in a philosophical sense, everything that is out there, is in the organic matter of our brains. When we die, that organic matter decomposes. It is a sad fact. Now, if you believe in religion and souls, then fair enough, but that still wouldn't mean you have a lucid dream, it would mean your essence would pass on to another world. |
