This is strange...
Dreamer told me about this and I got the idea to link an old study I'd made of my dreams under the name "project transcendence". The project wasn't based on conventual spiritual, or religious transcendence but transcending the human senses, testing the limits of my creativity and the ability to contain it within a cohesive event.
It was a bit of a golden period in my dream journal. My dream rate and stability had been increasing quite steadily over the months until I could re-enact some really great events from a science fiction saga I was reading at the time. My first goal was removing my body and engraining myself within the space of the world.
The whole notion behind the project was to create extremely revelationary experiences within the framework I knew as dreams. I wanted to test the limits of the brain when you disregarded your preconceptions of the world.
If I could find some of my old records I'd quickly mention some of my accounts. Some of my favourite ones that really sticked where multiple viewpoints, no viewpoints (omnipresence) and becoming part of the dream fabric. The emphasize was on recreating these with different starting conditions each time, to form a slightly different dream.
In one dream I jumped through a portal where most of the dreams started with the desire to ingrain with the fabric of space. I felt my body disintegrate as my conscious became part of the quantum structure of the dream world. A hugely empowering feeling spread through me (but not through my body) as I could sense the entire area around me, the texture, density, the temperature. I could see the light bounce around me yet I could sense it going everywhere. The beauty is that thinking back I'm pretty certain that I was still focusing on specific events, just forcing myself into this notion of omnipotence. So much images and concepts merged with this idea of distance to make me feel like I existed everywhere at once.
There was more than that though, a lot was focused on multiple viewpoints and my experience was as you described. An incredible duality, or sometimes even feeling of expanded mentality. Quite invigorating indeed, I think a lot can be achieved when we forget about the limitations of external stimuli and let our imagination go loose.
